Bubbles Hint: It seems that you shouldn’t be underestimating one-armed Unliving shopkeepers, either. Something has been troubling Bubbles of late, and he’s not quite sure why, but it makes him ridiculously angry and you’d do best to stay out of his way! Bubbles is available now as a challenger if you can figure out what triggers his rage and unlocks him! Solution: Have one of Gunter's Brewery drinks in your inventory and visit The Lost Skeleton Fear: Hydrophobia (water / drowning)

Olivette Hint: Hello dears, hello hello. What are you doing here dears, are you after a mask? I don't make many new ones you know, my arthritis and all, but I have so many, so so many stored from ages past, and many have made their way back to me somehow too! You may only see Olivette for a few weeks out of the year, but she's always there, and always busy busy busy. She doesn't consider herself alone - she has her masks, you see. She talks to them for days on end, and she will tell anyone that asks that some even talk back to her! Not much fazes Olivette, not even the small children who try to pinch the odd mask from her in their games. There is one thing that will really set her off, though. You'd do best not to find it, for Olivette has been around a long time, and picked up a lot of tricks over the years. Still, if you'd like to face her, she's now available as a challenger if you can find out what unlocks her! Solution: Visit Ziara City while your Human Avatar is faceless Fear: Oudenophobia (nothingness / emptiness)

Johannes Hint: Are you here for the latest Goodbye Virelai music? Let me just take a 'minuet' to find that for you. Ha! Of course I have it right here. What's that? You'd like sheet music to Horns and Roses? They never did 'measure up' to my tastes, but to each their own. Johannes may not be the most harmonious shopkeeper to talk with, and you have to excuse his many puns, but he does know his music. He isn't one to become involved in things outside of the music world so it can be difficult to get to really know him, although it's been whispered that a nice hot pretzel can really change his tone. There is one thing that will not put you in Johannes' good music books, though. If you can figure out what it is, then beware! If you can figure out what unlocks him, Johannes is a challenger that will really get you in treble. Solution: Put any of the following violin items into the Fragmentizer: Brava Violin Grazia Violin Prima Violin Sonora Violin Fear: Atelophobia (not doing something right / not being good enough)

Esmerelda Hint: “I can give away invitations but I can’t give away fashion sense. I’m sure you’re just full of inner beauty.” Esmerelda doesn’t have time for your nonsense. She’s busy deciding on the latest fashion trends and working to keep Subeta looking stunning. Details of the populace’s incompetence do not interest her. But many things displease Esmerelda. Many MANY things. You’d have to try really hard to get her to stop what she’s doing and focus on you, though. If you can figure out what it is you have to do to grab her attention, be prepared for a one-on-one appointment with the most scathing personal critique of your life. That’s all. Solution: Wear at least 8 clothing items released before 2012 and visit Subeautique (Note: the items you choose cannot be from her shop) Fear: Textophobia (certain fabrics)

Gunter Hint: "Liebchens, I am very busy with getting my summer project ready, ja! I hope you are coming to enjoy it with me. Don't be scared with ze lack of meat sausage, it's still very tasty and will put all ze hair on your chest!" Gunter is an overtly cheerful sort of man, taking to whatever he does with a large amount of gusto. You may not think a man such as this would ever have a dark side, and Gunter would hate you to believe such a thing. He's always one to pour you a beer on the house if you're looking down, or cheer you up with a good joke. If it's an act he's putting on, it's a good one. Of course there is something that really gets Gunter's goat. If you can find out what it is and unlock Gunter as a challenger be prepared for a match to rival your strongest drinking game. He doesn't like to lose. Solution: Have a number of pets with 0 health and visit him at SAI HQ Fear: Carnophobia (meat)

Batista Hint: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! You look like a person who wants to win big, step right up and see if you can beat me!" Batista is a confident and charming stall holder over on the Delphi Carnival Pier, always beaming and willing to start up a fast-paced (and often one-sided) conversation. If you get pulled in, you might find you're all of a sudden in the middle of one of his ploys and you're not quite sure how but you're parting with your money and all the while with a smile on your face. He's all ruse and it doesn't seem as if anything could shake his confidence. But there is one thing that truly wipes the smile from his face, and if you can find it and unlock Batista as a challenger be prepared for the trickiest battle you could face! Solution: Have a black cat item (such as 13th Cat) in your inventory and win a game of Bluff Fear: Triskaidekaphobia (the number 13)

Mathis Hint: He doesn't say much, but don't be fooled into thinking that means he doesn't feel much either. Mathis is a deeply caring soul to those that he has formed a relationship with. Someone like Mathis is the most dependable friend you could expect to have! Plus he puts up the BEST shelves. Your pet hipottu could sleep on them, they're so sturdy! Mathis doesn't fight out of anger. He's more the kind of guy to break up a fight. The only thing likely to get him to lash out is being confronted with the one thing he spends his life trying to avoid. If you can find out what that is and unlock Mathis as a challenger, be gentle! He doesn't mean to hurt you. But he WILL hurt you. Solution: Lose multiple battles with a death/graveyard themed minion attached to your battling pet Fear: Thanatophobia (death)

Lukien Hint: It's hard to really describe Lukien. He's the kind of person you just about remember seeing out of the corner of your eyes, but you can't really picture him. You might describe him as having some sort of tattoos, his eyes red…or was it blue? He's always moving about when you're buying potions. Mostly you're looking at the potions, Lukien isn't the kind to engage in idle chit chat. He's not usually the sort to engage in anything, actually. Except, well, there is something that's likely to bring him to a panicked rage. If you can find the time to figure out what it is and unlock Lukien as a challenger, beware! He knows his chemistry, and he has quite the stock of potions guaranteed to have you wishing you'd forgotten him sooner. Solution: ? Fear: ? Potentially something to do with time or something to do with social anxiety.

Bubbles We didn't know about Gunter back then. But a sibling rivalry could have been guessed. Not much for hints in the text.

Olivette Makes and sells masks > no faces = no mask. Also a bit of a word play in this one (if you want to FACE her)

Johannes Has a violin, unlock by destroying a violin. Not much for hints in the text.

Esmerelda Known for being a fashion snob (old clothes being "ugly") and there was also a text hint (MANY MANY leading to the several items that need to be worn)

Gunter Animal lover who gets upset by cruelty to animals (pets). Some hints in text that he cares the most about how animals are treated.

Batista A guy who relies on luck doesn't like bringers of un-luck (getting lucky by fooling people during the game of Bluff) Not much for hints in the text, and really leads us to believe he is more of a con-man than a guy who relies on luck.

Mathis So I get that he was trying to avoid dealing with the loss of Captain. But how would we have known that before the release of Captain's Ashes? Graveyard/death theme to trigger him.. I honestly don't even really know how this got solved (wasn't it on accident?)

Lukien We know that he doesn't like to engage in anything (word used twice). Not sure if there is anything engagement themed that could be related? Maybe something with the engagement rings? Definitely could be something TIME consuming.. but no ideas on that one. I think that either way it'd make the most sense that it would be triggered in his shop, where you are bothering him..
