Enemies can drop special gear items if you are lucky. Like the monk in the new Thunderclap Temple at the end of Chapter 3 can drop the see no evil headband that makes perfect dodges easier. Here you also find the Clay Vajra, and I mean that has a higher chance of dropping the Vajra armguards that look awesome. I really like the Locust and Danny mask from these insect. Enemies in chapter 4 near the Verdur Bridge shrine that increase your jump attack damage by quite a lot. The skill of Turtle Treasure is also great, increasing the chance of getting materials from enemies and these can be dropped by these larger enemies that you can find from the Longevity Road in Chapter 3. Down the hill, up the stairs, then run straight. Now a guaranteed drop that is really cool is the Ginseng Cave that after a gourd gives you more stamina for a short duration. You get this from the towers of Karma Shrine. Up the stairs like this and then run left down here you will find a small boss arena. Interact with the plants, kill the boss and the cape is yours.
