Missile Base

FINAL FANTASY VIII guide · Squall's team infiltrates to stop the missiles

Selphie leads a team disguised in Galbadian uniforms to infiltrate the Galbadia Missile Base and halt the missile launch targeting Balamb Garden. The team must navigate the interior undetected or fight through guards, upload error data to the launcher computers, and set the self-destruct mechanism before escaping. After triggering the base's destruction, they must defeat the BGH251F2 boss machine outside in the hangar courtyard.
