Solomon Ring in Occult Fan.
The Solomon Ring (ソロモンの指輪, Soromon no Yubiwa?) is a unique item in Final Fantasy VIII. It is the key to unlocking the secret Guardian Force, Doomtrain. For it to be used, the player needs to have six each of the following items in their inventory: Malboro Tentacle, Steel Pipe, and Remedy+. The player is supposed to figure this out by reading the Occult Fan magazines. The ring is located within Tears' Point at the foot of the statue of a woman with a harp. The player can gain multiple Solomon Rings by playing Chocobo World.
In the original Japanese PlayStation version, Tears' Point becomes inaccessible in the endgame, but this was changed into later versions.
Etymology[]
The ring refers to King Solomon, said to have been given a magical ring by the Archangel Michael that allowed him to command demons to do his will. In demonology, these included the 72 demons of the Goetia, one of which is Glasya-Labolas, the Japanese name for Doomtrain.
