Impossible! I don't have them yet, and this is the first time they're mentioned. According to the same guide, I'll be finding and/or buying them in upcoming areas. Was I mistaken?

Anyway, I'm finished with Alexandria! For me, the first battle with Bandersnatch was the hardest (I was unlucky). The battle with Type C Mages wasn't as hard as it was lengthy, because I quickly silenced all of them. The third battle (Zidane and company versus two Bandersnatches) was lengthy, but easy. The last three battles were quick and very easy!

By the way, Hyprophant's guide advises players to sell Ethers for Gil, but I needed Ethers during the battles in Cleyra and Alexandria. I used what few I hadn't sold yet and, in Alexandria, resorted to using Elixirs to restore Vivi's MP. I used about sixty Potions and twenty Phoenix Downs, too!
