Challenge Tasks:

• Be born in Greece
• Maintain 100% Health
• Visit the gym 10+ times after age 18
• Strangle 5+ enemies
• Marry someone met at the gym

Be Born in Greece

Begin by creating a new life, selecting Greece as your birthplace. While character customization is up to you, the Crime Special Talent (available via Job Packs) provides a significant advantage for later stages.

Maintain 100% Health

Maintaining perfect health requires proactive choices. Avoid risky behaviors like substance abuse and unprotected sex. Instead, prioritize healthy habits: regular gym visits, walks, seeking medical attention when needed, healthy eating, meditation, and alternative treatments. Prayer can also provide a temporary health boost.

Visit the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18

This is the simplest task. After turning 18, navigate to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym. Remember, gym visits cost money, so secure a job beforehand. You don't need to hit the gym ten times in a single year; spread them out as needed. Accept any date offers received at the gym—this helps with the marriage task.

Strangle 5+ Enemies

This requires creating enemies. You might acquire enemies naturally, but you can also force it. Go to your relationship tab, select a friend, and choose the "become enemies" option. Once you have enemies, navigate to Activities > Crime > Murder. Select an enemy and choose "Strangle Them" as the method. If this option isn't available, refresh the menu by closing and reopening it. Repeat until you've eliminated five enemies. Ideally, complete this task last, as imprisonment hinders progress on other tasks.

Marry Someone Met at the Gym

If you haven't met a potential spouse at the gym, use Activities > Love > Date. The date encounter message will specify where you met. Accept gym dates, cultivate the relationship, and propose once ready.

Completing these steps will successfully finish the Herc the Merc Challenge. While helpful, special talents and items like the Assassin’s Blade aren't essential for success.
