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.

What if he hates loud noises? I mean bugs might scare him but loud noises could anger him... I dunno just tossing out ideas.

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

"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."
StarShadow
Everyone thinks it has to do with bugs?
Galaxia
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.
elka
tried this

since the loot i saw in Item Directory is mole-related, i tried wearing items with the word "mole" in them, and visiting the shop, refreshed, didn't work
i remembered there was a mole skin too, so tried putting it on as well, same, didn't work :O

Oh Boy here we go again
-Visited Kain with various bugs in my inventory
-Bought several shields with bugs in inventory
-Added a bunch of bugs to my minion zoo
-Added a bunch of bugs to my main pet's treasure chest

Nada
Part of me wants to side-eye Willowisp in the battle coliseum but I dunno if it counts as a bug or anything. Time to beat it up a bunch anyway
Ark
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

I tried wearing all five of the new bug crunch items as they show as bats in wardrobe...and then going to his shop. nadda.
Tserel

I tried the
Excessively Horrifying Spider
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
Muerte
"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)
heARSE
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?
Pun
i should try this
Jar Of Annoying Flies
Jar Of Annoying Mosquitoes
Chocolate
I tried
Visiting his shop with five different "bug" named items.
(Just in case it was really, really easy.)
Chocolate
Stuff
So... Directory loot indicates he's really afraid of bugs.
I guess he's also afraid of losing.
