Timber Forest

FINAL FANTASY VIII guide · Escaping Timber after the mission
← All areas in this guide

After escaping Timber, the party heads east across the world map and passes into a circular forest situated between two cliff faces. Entering this specific woodland automatically triggers the party's second shared dream sequence as Laguna, Kiros, and Ward. Once inside the dream, the scene shifts immediately from the forest into the Centra Excavation Site.

Tips

  • Be sure your GF junctions, magic inventory, and battle commands are arranged properly before entering the circular forest, as the dream sequence starts automatically upon entry.
  • The characters paired with Laguna, Kiros, and Ward inherit their junctions directly from the corresponding members of Squall's party, so balance all three active characters beforehand.
