Challenge Tasks:
- Be born in Greece
- Maintain 100% Health
- Visit the gym 10+ times after age 18
- Strangle 5+ enemies
- Marry someone you met at the gym
1. Be Born in Greece
Create a new life, selecting Greece as your birthplace. Other creation options are up to you, but the Crime Special Talent (from Job Packs) will make eliminating enemies easier later.
2. Maintain 100% Health
This requires a healthy lifestyle. Avoid risky behaviors like alcohol, drugs, and unprotected sex. Regularly boost your health by going to the gym, walking, seeking medical treatment when needed, eating healthily, meditating, and trying alternative therapies like acupuncture. Prayer can also provide a temporary health boost.
3. Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18
Once you turn 18, regularly visit the gym (Activities > Mind and Body > Gym). Get a job to fund your gym visits. You don't need to hit 10 visits in one year. Accept any date offers you receive at the gym—this helps with the marriage task.
4. Strangle 5+ Enemies

You'll need enemies. You might acquire them naturally, or you can create them by selecting a friend and choosing the "Become Enemies" option in the relationship tab. Once you have enemies, go to Activities > Crime > Murder, select an enemy, and choose "Strangle Them." If this option isn't available, refresh the menu. It’s best to do this after completing other tasks, as jail time can hinder progress.
5. Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven’t met someone at the gym, use Activities > Love > Date. Accept dates where you met at the gym. Improve your relationship until they accept your proposal.
Completing these steps will finish the Herc the Merc challenge. While helpful, special talents and items like the Assassin’s Blade aren't required.
