The Green Cap is a piece of armor. It will always drop from the Guide, but only when his name is Andrew.

Notes

  • (Desktop version) The required NPC names are hard-coded strings when checking condition for name-based NPC drops.[1] As a result, the game's translation and Resource Packs both affect name-based item drops: the Green Cap cannot drop from the Guide if the name Andrew is translated or changed to something else; if a Resource Pack changes any of the applicable names of Guide to Andrew, he will drop the Green Cap when that name is chosen.
  • This content is transcluded from NPCs/dropnote.Since town NPCs cannot be damaged by players normally, external damage sources must be used to obtain this item. The Flymeal(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) is one of the easiest options; other effective options include traps, lava, drowning, Boulders or Rolling Cacti(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), enemies, Explosive Bunnies, Land Mines, or the Halloween-exclusive Rotten Eggs (in tandem with Frost armor).
    • In addition, equipping the Guide Voodoo Doll allows the player to damage the Guide with any weapon.
