Friendly Thursday: Johannes

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.

Once you unlock Johannes, he will appear in the Secret Tab.
Unlocking Johannes is not limited to just this month like with our Throwback Challengers. While we'll continue releasing a challenger on the second Thursday, you'll have plenty of time to unlock them.

So ... We have to drive him to violins? I knew something would make him lose his composure; he couldn't keep playing it cool! Also, all these puns are music to my ears.

I love that we get these extra opponents. I just wish sometimes the drops might have something in them that deals with actual battling. It could even be a new book to read to our pets. I am not saying every time, but it seems like even the ones we pay 250csc for don't have any battle related items anymore either. It's probably just me being a piss baby. :P
Any-hoot good luck everyone and enjoy your battling! :)

shylarah

"Is known to be very rude to customers that do not take music seriously; he has actually banned people from his store for not appreciating the instruments"

I feel like this might be the key, but I"m not sure how to go about it.

Playing with a kazoo (aka music for the non-musical) didn't work. Maybe beer, for drunk karaoke?

We still have the CS challenger. Who knows, maybe Johannes is terrified of amorphous masses of goop with giant eyes. I'd be too.
