Deep Sea Research Center

The Deep Sea Research Centre is located far out in the middle of the ocean, directly south-west of Balamb in the world of Final Fantasy VIII. It is an abandoned, half-sunken laboratory which was formerly used to research Draw effects, however other, less commonly known, research may have been going on. At the time Squall and his friends investigated the island, it was infested with many dangerous monsters, particularly the Guardian Force Bahamut, who will join the party if he can be defeated; and at the very depths waits the Ultima Weapon who holds the GF Eden.
