Friendly Thur--Tuesday: Kain

Hello, it is I, Kain the Magnificent! I hear you've been touring around Subeta challenging various public figures, but I'm sure I'm not on your list, because why would you subject yourself to such a resounding defeat voluntarily, am I right? Why don't you come in to the shop and check out the shields I've been working on this week? Just make sure to close the screen door behind you; we wouldn't want to let anything else in.

It doesn't seem as if Kain would like you to think he's afraid of anything! Nonetheless, he's been known to… exaggerate before. We've certainly heard a few high pitched screams coming from his direction more than once, although he denies it! There must be something that gives this courageous hero the creeps, though. If you can figure it out you could unlock Kain as a challenger.

his loot... heavily implies a specific phobia (loot spoilers) "Whatever escapes the initial impact of the hammer swing will be caught and zapped in the electric current pulsing around the hammer's head. No insect will escape, I will make sure of that, even if I destroy everything around me."

Things moles eat: grubs, bugs, insects, worms.

I've tried going in wearing items with that stuff in the name and buying one of his shields too. Hm. :s Who knows.

Tried visiting his shop with the following in my wardrobe:

  • bug
  • bee
  • beetle
  • spider
  • wasp

Hmm guess it's more complicated than that then

I'm thinking maybe a buzzing insect? Since he's blind and would likely be frightened by the sound of the insect? HMM. Anyone try bees yet? x'D

SPOILER (click to toggle) I tried the but it didn't work haha. Also just a whole bunch of bug items (spiders, ants, moths, worms) so it's a bit more complicated than throw bug items at him I guess

"Kain the Magnificent" Makes it sound like you're going to cane someone named magnificent. XD (No, this has nothing to do with the challenger, just the hilarious mental visual)

Oh man, it's gotta be bugs, right? Make sure we close the door, high-pitched screams.

Maybe moths? Or some other sort of flying bug?

Stuff So... Directory loot indicates he's really afraid of bugs. I guess he's also afraid of losing.
