Crisis Core What monsters to steal pheonix downs from?

[Toshiya]

Does anybody know what kind of monsters you can steal pheonix downs from?
(Don't say Minerva... I'm not there yet)
I'm having real problems with a couple of the missions because the monsters keep casting 'death' and I don't seem to be able to avoid it. Also, I don't want to die and respawn because I'll lose Genesis DMW mode, which I'm in at the moment.

I know you can get them in chests in a couple of missions... but I've already got them in the missions that I've unlocked at the moment.

I haven't played through Crisis Core thoroughly enough to know exactly which monsters can have their Phoenix Downs stolen, other than Minerva sadly.

If you're low on Phoenix Downs and you want to keep the raise status on, your only alternative is to find the lady standing by the entrance of the Shinra building. She gives you a potion that gives you a raise status only when you don't have it on already.

You can do this as much as you want as long as you haven't reached Nibelheim yet. However, it does reset your DMW to normal as well as remove your break stats. Whether or not you lose your Genesis DMW mode I can't remember now.

EDIT: If the monsters casting "death" on you is a problem, try and see if you have an equipment that prevents death. They shouldn't be too hard to get.

Ah, thanks anyway but I'm dying 3-4 times in a mission so I can't go back to her every time...
And I think it does remove your Genesis status. I really don't want to lose it because I only just got it and it was a long wait before he finally appeared on my DMW.

I found that I got quite alot of mine from the monsters with the four claws when I did the bonus missions. However, hunting for a null death item like safety bit would help if you are getting death cast on you.

My best advice which I got from a friend of mine is that just do the as many as the bonus missions as you can as you can get a few Phoenix Downs from these bonus missions
