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.

Did what Jess said and it worked great!

Did what was explained and got him as a challenger. Sadly my pet isn't strong enough yet. :)
But thanks to you guys for the advice!

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.
Ark
Just as a heads up to you guys but Laurey 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?
Solsticesprite
a partially deaf guess
StarShadow
Tried wearing the cicada hair because it says "Complete with authentic chittering noise" but nothing happened.
Ark
Phew, done. Now to wait until my pet is leveled enough to beat this guy x'D.

It can't be a wardrobe skin because it needs to be accessible to everyone.

Is it possible that it's not activated yet, like the Lukien wasn't?

Darn, worth a shot. Thanks for clarifying. Back to ground 0.
I hope you are right about the item in a few days tho.
Allegria
@Evalynn, 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.
Allegria
@Foxe 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...

this is a spoiler
:)
Evalynn
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!

@Volatile
I tried that with two things. Or do you mean anything?
kerouaille
Since it's a bug and noisy, I gave

sadly was a fail. So I don't know if any of the other of those would even work if that didn't
Volatile
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?
Frenchi
Foxe
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.
Ark
12 hours and no luck figuring it out =/

@StarShadow
his loot... heavily implies a specific phobia (loot spoilers)

Everyone thinks it has to do with bugs?
Galaxia STAFF
Could it be related to gelatins? I think we've heard screaming over the horizon during some of the jelly wars...
Wesker
@Tserel

I mean....that would freak me out
Ark
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
heARSE
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

(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?
