Friendly Thursday: Lukien
He's not usually the sort to engage in anything, actually. Except, well, there is something that's likely to bring him to a panicked rage. If you can find the time to figure out what it is and unlock Lukien as a challenger, beware! He knows his chemistry, and he has quite the stock of potions guaranteed to have you wishing you'd forgotten him sooner.

Just read the paragraph description on the new cash shop opponent, that eye. It seems to be referring to how Lukien is paranoid about being watched/people coming in every day. I am wondering about maybe putting the fifth win loot in my inventory from that eye and going in to stalk Lukien every day till he wants to fight.

I put so much into it before the glitch I don't know where to start again.

Bug is finally better (yay!) and has pushed a fix to the Friendly Challenger this month! Unfortunately the days you've been visiting Grumpy Gus don't count, so go visit him a few more days and he should unlock <3

Any progress on this? How are we supposed to know if someone has solved it if the unlock is glitched?

Is there going to be an update on whether the issue which is causing Lucien not to unlock...is resolved.

I don't think that there's a special word for the act of doing it. Or, it might just be resonance? :d It's when the voice matches the natural frequency of the glass/resonates/it vibrates, and breaks. If there is a word, I can't find it. There might be!What is that called, when you sing around some fancy glass or crystal and your voice resonates just right with the potion bottles and they all shatter???

@gitto
it's definitely something you do over a few days, but it should be just a few days (i'm guessing less than a week) -- i was mostly joking when i said i'd be ok if we at least figured it out before his fear went live (in two weeks or so), and amber said "It shouldn't take you guys that long!"

This one wasn't actually made to take over a few days because we wanted to stump you, it actually fits in with the lore of the character. :blush:

It may not be multiple days in a row, but just doing the same thing repetitively until he gets annoyed enough to challenge us.
I'm not sure what the thing to be done is though.

I'm less convinced it's something you have to wait for- why release a challenger and the loot if you can't unlock him straight away? Also I'm sure Amber said she didn't expect it to take a few days so I'm not sure it's about waiting days

Hm. Amber says "keep visiting" him "the next few days".
I think that itself might be a hint, especially combined with "if you can find the time" and "wishing you'd forgotten him sooner" from the news post. Maybe we need to do <whatever it is that annoys him> for several days in a row.
Or maybe it's something that plays out over several days? I was trying:
... maybe there needs to be more time between something like that, enough for him to feel betrayed/misled or something.

Not sure if anyone has checked it out, but here's the post from when the magic box was closed and Lukien took over...
Ah, hello everyone. Greetings are as good a place to start as any, aren't they? But I'm far too busy to linger on them, so let's move right along.
A friend of mine--I'm sure you know him, he's that lad from the Magic Box, always has fairies fluttering about--has decided to up and move to the Vetan mountains. Something about being tired of the hustle and the bustle and wanting to own an adorable cabin. I zoned out after a while, truth be told. So he's gone now, meditating and feeding antlephore and probably searching for new fairies, and the Magic Box has closed its doors.
I was left to deal with all his old stock because I'm such a great friend with so much free time. I've got all the damn boxes sorted, and those of you in need of elixirs and potions can find them at my very own apothecary. The plushies have all been sent to Zuzu, whereas Tobias will handle all the magical toy-like things. Mauve took the clothes, because of course he did, while Rose took any accessories and if you're looking for the weapons, you'd best head over to the Weapons Warehouse.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to brewing my own potions.

Not working:
I'm autistic, so I have sensory issues, as well as social issues/social anxiety. I relate to the "panicked rage" feeling from certain things, and I feel like I'm familiar with some common triggers of that in others, so I'm kinda going through SubetaLodge and seeing what items might trigger that.

The description of his trading card mentions that “you should be grateful”. Maybe something to do with ingratitude?

Joining this party a bit late. Anyone try trapping him in an elevator with a jabberjaw?
Or presenting him an award, because being in the spotlight doesn't sound so great.

The question is, what is he afraid of? I'm sure y'all are determined to find out before this month's Cash Shop challenger, but for those who don't, we will have an idea by the end of the month. And for those who do find out how to unlock him as a challenger, then we have an idea of what he's afraid of and what the Cash Shop challenger will be!

doesn't work (also i doubt the solution involves expensive retired items)
--
no idea how the trigger would work, but i hope it involves proving he sings top 40 pop hits while he brews

By the news post all I can think is something like stage fear (or whatever it's called in English), social anxiety and the like but how to trigger it is another story ?

I had to look up the previous owner of the Magic Box and all that because I honestly couldn't remember.
Here's a link to the news post, if anyone wants to scan for possible ideas there: https://subeta.net/news/15768
This isn't going to be another case of the old guy "moving away" but Lukien secretly killed him to take over the business or something, is it? :P

It's not going to be something *that* insane, lol. It may be something we won't accidentally come across, but all of the solutions so far have been things that anyone could easily do once we know what it is.
Also, we won't know what his stats are until we unlock him, but the loot items are in the directory already, if you're interested ~

Subetapedia info:
- ”Helped” his friend close down the Magic Box and took over his stock
- His tattoos are actually runes that sometimes move, which took many years to master
- Does not sing while brewing potions, no matter what nosy neighbors and customers think
- Has traveled all over Subeta to gain as much knowledge as possible on potion making. Thinks very highly of himself for doing so
Plus the hints in the news post suggesting he's pretty secretive and not very social. Also "panicked rage" may be a clue.
Good luck everyone, seems like this will be another tough one to figure out.
