FINAL FANTASY VIII guide · The mission to kidnap President Deling

Squall and his squad arrive in the occupied town of Timber by train to assist the Forest Owls resistance faction in their plan to kidnap President Deling. You rendezvous with their contact, board the resistance train, and execute a sequence of inputting codes to decouple the president's carriage while avoiding patrolling guards. After successfully securing the target carriage, you enter to confront Deling, only to discover a body double that mutates into the undead boss Gerogero.
