11) Recommended Items
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Harness - 
Shadow Harness (You need to be able to stay on a horse in tough situations.)

Orb -
Vorpal Orb (This is a good orb for Xiahou Yuan mainly because he already has a 
high attack, so this adds a little extra punch.)

Item Slot#1 -
Peacock Urn (Extra Life is always important.)

Item Slot#2 -
Tiger Amulet (Giving more damage to enemies makes the game faster, so in levels 
where speed is essential this is a necessity) 

Item Slot#3 -
Tortoise Amulet (This allows you to dish out the pain and take a beating at the 
same time without being squashed at the same time.

Item Slot#4 -
Either the Dragon Amulet (A larger Musou Gauge is important), or the Wind Scroll
(Raises attack range, damage more enemies while pressing less buttons)
