(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.

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.

@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?

@PrincessJudith I'm using my lowest battle set, but deselecting the weapons once in battle. No joy yet on the challenger front though!

Apparently I'm the loser who can't get it. I've done everything and still can't get the challenger.

More people have unlocked him, but the answer isn't entirely clear. Multiple steps involved?

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!

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?

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.

Rolled my hipottu pet over some store - and the library shelves all over subeta and sadly they didn't stand a chance. I need a proof or a source of these fake news because stating something like this is irresponsible and someone might get hurt. At least my hipottu is not amused. Who hired this man? Was laboratory testing performed in order to support these claims ? If so, on how many hipottus? Did any animal get hurt in the process?
So many questions.

I've tried wearing stuff with mice and rats, to no avail.
Tried putting a Cupboard Rat in my inventory... Nope.
I don't think he's trying to avoid rats.

Wow, this is difficult. I never was good at riddles. Hopefully this doesn't require a person to have a pet hipottu or something.

I'd rather have to battle Victoria (thusly annihilate), that way Mathis can be back on the market and put shelves up at my place lol.
He reminds me so much of one of the Marvel heroes, been watching the series and can't for the life of me remember it or his name now damn it!

I don't know why but I thought Mathis would avoid writing/pens at all cost. I wonder if we can play him at Rock Paper Scissors. xD

Has anyone tried bringing a Forj to him? I somehow doubt that, though. It's gotta be something doable for everyone, and I doubt staff would want to base it on a decently rare-ish item that would require to be traded around.

Has anyone tried giving the "dead" minions to their own pets and either visiting Mathis in his shop, or his pet? Or perhaps naming the minions with dead related names?
I'm just trying to combine pet month into this challenger.

Must have something to do with woodcraft. The news description goes on about Mathis' very nicely made shelves. Maybe he hates broken or badly made furniture?

LoL ....
I really Love to watch the comments under these type posts ... of unlocking an opponent. ;)
I would guess.... RUST ... he would avoid rust at all costs. Soes mayhaps something rusty in your inventory? ....
like ... Rusty Horseshoes?

They're not going to pick an act that some people cannot do to trigger a battle opponent.

I thought maybe something to remind him of his past with the SAI, since a lot of these challengers have been unlocked based on some traumatic experience.
But considering he still makes weapons and stuff, he doesn't seem to be bothered by that sort of thing.

His dialogue in the shop says "dont give me any of that pen is mightier than the sword nonsense.." Maybe books?
Plus he puts up the BEST shelves. (in dialogue above)
Ive never done any weekend challenger thing so I could be completely in left field.

His Subetapedia info just to have listed here:
• Was a Special Ops Agent for SAI
• Is dating Victoria Ventura
• Has a soft spot for cats
• Sets aside time once a year to take Vic on a mountain retreat
• Is constantly having to shoo forj out of his forge
Not really much to go on. Hmm...
