There is one other thing that you need when you lose and it has to deal with what would make Mathis mad. It's sort of the opposite of the things he likes. I was too morbid with my first guess OMG Riddles much lol think ive wasted too much time today! Ill sleep on it

I wonder how to offend him if its not by deleting/destroying items hmmm, how do you interact with a npc other than this?

There's something you're both missing. Re-read the news post again and then look at some of the comments again.

Battle but don't use healing items... lose... and go to see Mathis. No that won't work, no HP was how to unlock Gunter.

-thinks-

Lose a fight... then.. ??? = Mathis battle

-flops over-

[edit] Will do... I am just very dumb. Lawl

"BEST shelves"

... we need the WORST shelves giggles

I am drawn to this:

OMG YES

^___________________^

Sent a dead cat head to [NPC] Mathis, nope haha.

Lost a fight against a strong opponent, then beat a weak opponent (no).

Steal a weapon in battle and lose?

Stealing is wrong and dishonest. It might go against all of what Mathis stands for...

I really am not a smart person. ;-;

Tried to zap my dead pet, nothing

OH I HAVE AN IDEA. goes to try

OMG xD Poor Mathis. That would piss me off tbh.

Ask yourselves this: why would even fighting in a battle and losing make Mathis mad?

And don't forget to look at the comments!

if you went in with bad weapons/not enough weapons. But I just tried going in with two weapons and getting KOd after three rounds, two with nothing, and that didn't work. I should note: two once-per-battle items.

Why fight with weapons when you can use your words and talk things out?

Why fight a challenger when you are not ready, you will only get hurt and make a fool of yourself.

I don't know. X-x

Nope, not about bad weapons

You are thinking way too philosophically about it x.x;

...is it possible to KO yourself? Forfeiting didn't work...

XD I know... I make life difficult. ^___^

Also tried having weapons but not using them. No luck.

You can with an emo spork, but don't do that. Staff wouldn't make you buy an item worth millions just to unlock a hidden challenger. Losing the battle is only part of it, there's a second piece you have to do that makes him different from the last challenger

I have literally just been focussed on this for 2 hours bahaha
