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.

[spoiler=SUCCESS] I just bought 5 and sent them via gift exchange

EEEK!!
That was a strategic scream. Those bugs are almost certainly venomous. You can tell by the, uh, frequency of their buzzing... look, I just know that high-pitched noises scare them, and I was trying to save your life, all right?

You've found a Hidden Opponent!

Kain challenges you to a fight in the Battle Coliseum![/spoiler]

Did what was posted by Jess and it worked.

SPOILER (click to toggle) I sent Carrion Mantis, Orchid Mantis, Praying Mantis, Devils Flower Mantis and Dew Drop Ant, in one box, typed out EXACTLY as "[NPC] Kain" (It has to have the [NPC] and the space) and I got it. Hopefully this will help.

[Item=Insektdammerung] Rarity: Challenger Loot (170) Description: 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.

The description gave me a chuckle.

Just as a heads up to you guys but posted the solution a period of time ago on their challenger unlock thread.

The last time we saw NPC Kain in the News it was a gelatin attack. Think a screen door would work against those?

a partially deaf guess I'm partially deaf and I fear things that are quiet that I CAN"T hear and things that come from the direction where I am completely deaf. NPC Kain relies on his hearing, so quiet stuff might be super-scary? I tried Preod, Shy Mouse, Albicant Moth (pricey!) and Mues in my Inventory and visiting him. No good. I tried equipping as minion Shy Mouse to my experiment robotic pet and Albicant to my NIGHTMARE BUMBUS for double insect horror and making them each active pets and visiting his shop. No good.

SPOILER (click to toggle) Not having the best of luck figuring this one out myself this time around either. wearing stinging/ experiment 585 / ant agony skins- dont think it would be skins in any case as not everyone may have the skins and that's a genuinely unfair method of locking a challenger behind. Still tested regardless, nada. wearing Lucky Cricket Cage, Grave Dirt Grub, ruby widow necklace or ring, Veta Lake Firefly items, Bottled Butterflies, Fly Wings. the insect framed specimens and fashion sketches from Vesnali a while back. Temporary insect habitats. Fireflies in a Jar. Jar Of Annoying Flies Was already wearing Shiny Pink Beetle and that wasnt working.

Also not much dice in having items in my inventory, Bugtastic Cricket Lolly, False Ruby Widow, Bald Faced Hornet, Blue Dragonfly,Cherrium Blossodid, Common Grasshopper, honeybee,Iridescent Green Jewel Beetle.

No dice so far.

SPOILER (click to toggle) It didn't work to take all defensive items out of my armory... or to wear or have in my inventory either the or the . Having a pet who had recently eaten a bug-themed item as my active pet didn't make a difference, either.

, unfortunately it's not a tribute, just bad timing. :( The hammer was already in the directory for a couple of days before Mr. Lee's sad passing. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a tribute item in the next day or two though.

You do spoilers like this - [spoiler]text[/spoiler] but without the asterisks in the brackets. It will look like this...

If you want the green box to say something, you do it like this - [spoiler=this is a spoiler]text[/spoiler] but again without the asterisks, so it will look like this...

Since one of his loot items is an electric hammer... it made me think Thor. (Also, Stan Lee just passed yesterday and it wouldn't surprise me if this was some form of tribute to him... electric hammer... Thor... Stan Lee...)

Thor's enemy Miek is a roach (right?)

So I tried Surprised Roach, Roach, and Dragonscale Roach. Nothing. But perhaps I'm onto something? Help!

Been trying bats, rats, mice, worms, and various bugs... Is it enough just to step into his shop with the [equipped/inventory]items/active pet(s) or am I skipping a step? Do we need to buy something to elicit a reaction?

What about cricket/grasshopper items? He's blind, right? Sorry, I don't know how to do spoiler tags. Also, how do I access old challengers? I only have a few unlocked and don't know how to get the others.
