Probably Rook City if I had to guess. I can’t imagine that Rook City lacks casinos.
I would guess Megaopolis based on when they were discussing that encounter. If not there then Rook City.
Well, I'm just about "trying for Trickster Kismet"ed out. I've done probably 25 games against Kismet in the last couple days, trying all manner of conditions (lots of theorized win/loss conditions, several of which included Hunted Naturalist; all of Kismet's ongoing Jinxes out at the same time, Lady Luck and Inconceivable Obstruction both successfully preventing their various preventions 10 times in a game, etc). Running out of ideas and getting kind of tired of MMFFCC. I think I'm going to take a break and see if I can help nail down the condition on Parse.
I am seeing a lot of MMFFCC and Atlantis as the focus for people's attempts so I think it is important to note that the first Kismet iteration gets put into the block and then for the Bio of Trickster Kismet we have this important line.
"...Now, once again recently out of the Block..."
She goes to MMFFCC as Trickster Kismet but I suppose the actual transition from regular==> Trickster is related to the act of leaving the Block.
I have been playing all three locations and am also getting bored but I really think the Block deserves more focus than the other two.
Also, multiple Atlantis games really makes me more irritable than the Block so if the unlock condition is not related to the environment, it sure is a lot easier messing around in the Block than it is to have Atlantis beating up on you game after game.
Beat Kismet in MMFFCC, with Setback, FSParse, Hunted Naturalist (intentionally incapped), Argent Adept, and Scholar. Won with a 17-Damage Plucky Break (High-risk with 18 Tokens, plus 6 for Critical Multiplier, and +1 for Nemesis and +1 for targeting arrow) when she had 17 health left.
No unlock.
I’m starting to think that killing her in a certain place with a certain team (unless it’s VERY specific) isn’t the answer.
Has anyone tried letting her get all of her jinxes out? Or at least a bunch?
Or maybe it’s about beating a DIFFERENT villain, like Cosmitron or Bomber Blade?
I tried having her apply one of each of her ongoings to the person pictured on the Ongoing in the same match - no unlock.
I've had her get all 10 of her ongoing Jinxes, the shark, and Lady Luck all at the same time - nothing.
I've also had her dodge destruction with Lady Luck (using Sucker Punch) twice in the same match - nothing there either. That was wacky enough I figured I should try it.
The other villian unlocks have all pretty much involved 2 games. So I am guessing it is something like win a game in Atlantis and then win a game in MMFFoCaC. It us going to be figuring out the right sequence of environments with the right charactets. Can’t test it right now, but my current theory is win in Atlantis and then lose in the block. The right charactets are in question for me.
I attempted to lsoe to Kismet in The Block, then beat her in Atlantis and Carnival Madame Mittermeier's Fantastical Festival of Conundrums & Curiosities. No such unlock just doing that.
I'm wondering if tis to have "Gone without a Trace" destroy her.
I think according to the lore the sequence is Kismet lose in Atlantis, Kismet escapes the block, Kismet lose in MMFFoCaC. Not sure if this will trigger an unlock, but worth a try.
Okay tried it over lunch and no joy. I should note when I lost to her in the block a prison riot had been played and 4 prisoners (no guards) were in play. Other that just keeping playing random games I don’t have any more theories at this point.
An unlock has been posted (not by me).

Looks like it happened in The Block at the end of Kismet's turn. Photo shows two incapped heroes (KNYFE and Haka) and the user said "A miscreant from the start, she slipped away during the riot...but The Block kept the Talisman as evidence."
Possibility to try: Kismet wins while the Talisman in the play area of an incapped hero
Yeah. First, try somewhere else, and then in the Block (the Block might be necessary)
No Unlock
Villain: Kismet
Heroes: Legacy, Tempest, TL Tachyon
Environment: Block
- TLT had the talisman and was incapped.
- A prison riot was played RIGHT before the round Kismet was incapped.
- a Hero incapped Kismet.
~*~*~*~
Maybe it involves dealing damage to the heroes to remove jinxes?
Tried that, it's not that simple. Though–it was the Environment that incapped the last hero, not Kismet. Still, it's not just "Kismet wins and the heroes have the Talisman."
And now I tried it with Kismet going in for the kill--nope.
New working theory: defeat Kismet in Atlantis first. All of the other villain unlocks (except Infinitor, who is a "defeat in a certain way" villain which we know Kismet isn't) start with "Defeat standard."
My next scenario test: Defeat Kismet in Atlantis, then lose to Kismet in the Block but have the Talisman. (Final turn prison riot is a separate test condition; thankfully I'll only have to do the defeat once.)
Here is a better shot, from the Steam version. It might help give some more insight!

I am seeing that in the turn right after the prison break kismet finishes off the heroes. The hint suggests it was the Filter agent that possessed the talisman.
I can't tell from the shot which hero had the talisman but I would try to make it land on KNYFE. It looks like it might be important to have prisoners in play. So I am thinking something like H prisoners in play or more prisoners than guards None of the prisoners are damaged so it looks to me as if they just came out from a prison break and then Kismet incapped the heros on the next turn. It might actually help to have her in challenge or ultra mode so she can deal that incap level damage.
I note there are four Inmates in play; might be important.
