(Late) Friendly Thursday Challenger
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.

Everyone should be aware that it DOES take MULTIPLE tries. I wasn't counting mine, but it definitely took quite a few. For many people, 10 seems to be the right amount.

I was deselecting weapons but not my scrolls, whoops. Got it first try after deselecting all 3.

Finally. Used my newest/weakest pet fighting Pock, Saper and Riscors with a Sir Skittleton attached and lost about 10 times.

I finally got him to show up after losing to Prodigy about 10 times. I was about to give up, but I'm glad I kept going.
I'm having some trouble, anyone got tips for me? It's just not seeming to trigger for whatever reason--

I've battled a couple different challengers (prodigy, maleria's familiar, wyrmgear) without using any weapons on my turn, while the pet doing the battling had either Zombie Kitten or Sir Skittleton equipped. I've done this about 5 times, and no result--what could I be doing wrong??
@Jai Remember to check your challengers, you may have gotten the event without noticing.
I've done everything and I'm ready to pull my hair out. I've changed my pet's minion several times. I've battled with no weapons. I've friended and done all of that stuff to no avail. What am I missing?
@jensen
Thanks! Added that one to the challenger guide.
Amber said on the battle chat thread that there's a small pool of death/graveyard/bone and such minions that will work. Try some of the other cheap minions that Quentin gives out that are sort of like that, or the Zombie Kitten and Sir Skittleton which are still cheap. You don't have to use the Fish Bones for it to work.

If a certain item is too expensive for you now

You don't need to go expensive
Sir Skittleton worked for me, and zombie kitten for others. Make sure to not select any weapons and give it a few tries.
@Natsume
@Laurey
looks like Natsume found a third minion that works for sure. good timing too, since it looks like one of the other two confirmed ones is... suddenly expensive p:

that's weird that the kitten didn't work for you, i think that's what most of the people in the battle chat used o: the pool is apparently undead/graveyard-themed minions, so sir skittleton makes sense.

This may help
After testing several of the answers below, I lost around 10 battles with the Zombie kitten attached to my pet but didn't unlock him. However after attaching Sir Skittleton instead I got him after one loss, not sure if it was the minion but maybe it has to do with skeletal minions? They may not have to be cat related.
Question,
Spoiler (click here to toggle)
What game do you get the Fish Bones minion from? Players are being vultures and have them priced excessively, and I refuse to pay the 1.4 million SP some people are asking for it.
@PrincessJudith I'm using my lowest battle set, but deselecting the weapons once in battle. No joy yet on the challenger front though!
Can someone tell me how to battle without weapons. I removed all my weapons and now I cannot battle
Apparently I'm the loser who can't get it. I've done everything and still can't get the challenger.
Yay thank you. I finally just got Mathis too.
You get the Mathis random event on the same page that tells you lost the battle. You do not have to visit Mathis' shop.
for clarification

Took quite a few losses with Zhanarra but finally:

Attach the Fish Bones minion to your active pet, and when you go into battle, do not select any weapons. You're basically letting yourself get KO'd without doing anything. I recommend sacking a pet against Prodigy just to ensure it. Cause I just unlocked him now
So I think we've narrowed it down to:
Lose a battle with a Zombie Kitten or Fish Bones minion attached to your active pet.
Guys, all we know until now is:
At least 1 user (Wesker) has already unlocked (and defeated) Mathis and with the hints they gave about it (the ones I know of), we've gathered:
-It has something to do with LOSING a battle.
-It has nothing to do with the wardrobe/wearables/HA
-"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!"

@Ziorac Well, several previous commenters (@Laurey) have mentioned that Mathis is dating Victoria, whom if I'm correct is a pilot in Ziara. Problem is... I have no idea how to find her @jKat (psst, a little tip here?) :sweat_smile:
I'm relatively new here (been around less than a year) so I'm not familiar with a lot of lore either. But I think I have dug up a few things that have been explicitly mentioned on the site which I wouldn't need a ton of background information from the previous years!

wondering if its something to do with getting a creature animal pet to attach to you? Not sure where i go to check this out so help is appreciated
@SNSD
It's a specific action to unlock each challenger, and it's different for all of them.
You can see the solutions to the previous Friendly Thursday challengers in this thread of mine:
Topic: [Discontinued] Complete List of Unlockable Challengers
I don't have Mathis listed yet though, because most of us still haven't figured it out (including me, heh).

according to @Wesker she hinted it wasn't wardrobe related.
her only hint was this phrase was very important -
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!
maybe befriend mathis and victoria?? about to try

So not to look like an idiot but how do these work? I accidentally unlocked Esmerelda recently and I have a suspicion for Mathis but not sure what all things/actions count. Like I see people talking about active pets, wearing items, doing things and coming back. Is it specifically actions or DOING things or can it be as simple as having an item in your inventory?
Nopes
-Tried losing a battle and visiting him before seeing the battle results page
-Tried losing a battle and visiting him after seeing the battle results page
-Tried visiting him with my pet still with 0hp from the lost fight
-Tried visiting him after healing my pet
-Tried starting a fight with the same opponent my pet just battled and lost
-Tried starting a fight with the same opponent my pet just battled and lost while still with 0hp
-Tried only using Forj items in the battle
You guys are the worst, how come you haven't shared the sweet details yet??
@Amber this is all your fault isn't it... you're making the people who figured it out realize it's more fun to watch us squirm, isn't it? IF THIS DEVELOPS INTO A CIVIL WAR, DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YA

Do you suppose wearing a lot of weapons will do the trick?
Battling with weapons that are broken or rusty?
Battling with bombs?

@Its_Just_Me
do you mean this?
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.
ive wasted hours on wardrobe and inventory. Now ive fought Forj.
I don't get who I'm meant to fight and lose to?

Everyone: You might want to wander over read the last couple of pages of Battle Chat. There are a couple of hints there. I still haven't figured it out though, but am pretty sure it has to do with battling.
