I'd tried a team of the five Vengeance heroes, first winning in Atlantis, then losing in the Block. No dice.
Today I did Ra, Fanatic, Visionary, Guise, and Haka winning in Atlantis, then KNYFE, AA, Haka, and Fanatic losing in the Block. In the second game, I had no inmates enter play and, while I had flipped it a few times, the Talisman was in Kismet's play area at the end. Unlock upon loss.
I'll see about replicating on my Steam account later, if I find the time.
Unlocked on tablet. KNYFE, AA and PWFanatic. Did not beat Kismet in Atlantis.
KNYFE had the talisman. Kismet dealt the last blow.
My hypothesis:
Win a game against Kismet. Then, lose to Kismet in the Block with KNYFE, AA and Fanatic (additional heroes may be present). The Talisman must have flipped at least once. Kismet must deal the final blow.
I just repeated your conditions. Both times the talismans was in the players hands. In the Block KNYFE was the last hero standing, but Haka had the talisman. I think he had it in Atlantis as well. I don’t know if it matters , but in the block Kismet took out all of the heros. I just concentrated on making sure the talisman was on the hero side and took out all the inmates and guards as they appeared.
Ok, I got it. My team was KNYFE, AA, Fanatic, RC Wraith, and Dark Visionary.
We lost in the Block, after seeing 2 Prison Riots, 1 Hapless Strike, and stealing the talisman twice. It was in our possession when we lost, and I made sure the one with the Talisman was the last one down.
My theory:
1.) Defeat Kismet in Atlantis with a team that may or may not matter. Mine had Ra, Guise, and a couple others who were there.
2.) Lose to Kismet in The Block with KNYFE, Argent Adept, and Fanatic on the team. Prison Riot must be played at least once (maybe) and the heroes must have taken the Talisman, but don’t necessarily have to have it when they die. (Also, it doesn’t matter if you die from villain or environment damage, probably. The Environment killed me, and I got it.)
Ok, if the Atlantis fight isn’t important, then that makes this easier.
Lose to Kismet in the Block with KNYFE, Argent Adept, and Fanatic on the team. The Talisman must have flipped at least once, and Prison Riot must have been played at least once.
Unknowns: do you need to still have the Talisman when you lose?
If so, does the Talisman holder have to die last?
Debunked: No particular inmates need to be out. In my game, they all hit the field, but were destroyed by Lockdown. The only target left at the end was a Guard. Hoeffel and the Officers never appeared.
Kismet does not need to land the final blow. Neither does the Environment. Both have been shown to work.
As I mentioned, I unlocked with zero inmates played. I had a Defensive Displacement, Filter Officer, Lockdown, and Block Guard played in my unlock game.
Unknowns: do you need to still have the Talisman when you lose?
I didn't. The Block guard hit it to return it to Kismet just before she took the heroes out, though.
Sorry just hit it up with got the variant with knyfe AA fanatic haka. In the block
Took the talisman etc…
I made sure to not use the talisman just in case that wasn’t clear.
It seems like we have the conditions. I agree though someone should specifically try with the variants for knyfe AA and fanatic.
Rogue agent in particular seems like it shouldn’t work.
I could see the actual prime wardens also not working because the event was pre prime wardens time. It does get tiring losing a bunch of times in a row.
I think having the Talisman or at least having it in your possession the turn your team is incapacitated may be key. In the setup conditions for Trickster Kismet the heroes start with the talisman.
In addition, I never used the talisman’s power when I got the unlock.
Did it with a team of Knyfe, AA and Fanatic, no varients used.
Prison Riot was played twice, each time it spat out two inmates. There were no agents in play at the end of the game
Hero holding the talisman was not the last to go down. Used the Talisman power only on the Block, three times. The Talisman only changed hands once, coming into my possesion. It was not at full health at the end of the game.
Kismet did not deal the killing blow to my last hero, who killed by a Time Crazed prisoner, so it would seem that only a loss is required.
I would argue that the basic conditions seem to have been locked down more or less. Fanatic, AA and Knyfe have to be on the team, and you have to lose to Kismet in the block. Anything else, about the number of jinxes, or the number of prisoners I couldn't say
