Escape From Tarkov‘s developer has responded to players having conniptions due to the release of a new $250 Unheard edition of the game. In an update shared on Reddit, Battlestate Games studio head doubled down on their view that a new co-op PvE mode is not DLC, but does say that other players can have it when Escape From Tarkov is finished… whenever that is.

During BitLife’s Cursed Killer Challenge, you’ll have to learn to get away with murder and exorcise some ghosts without anyone retaliating. Fortunately, you’ll develop the skills to do this by practicing martial arts and diving into a particular career path. Here’s how to complete the Cursed Killer Challenge in BitLife.

BitLife Cursed Killer Challenge guide

The Cursed Killer Challenge in BitLife has five objectives to complete:

• Be born in Japan
• Master jiu-jitsu
• Become an exorcist
• Exorcise 5+ ghosts
• Murder 10+ people

While you won’t need any special career packs or expansions to complete this challenge, you will need some luck. At any point during this challenge, your character may lose their life from ghosts or people retaliating to your attacks. Watch your health, and hope someone doesn’t pull out a rocket launcher immediately. It’s worth considering doing the murder task before the others to get it out of the way, but this comes at the risk of landing in jail and preventing yourself from becoming an exorcist.

How to be born a male in Japan in BitLife

To begin this challenge, create a new character born in Japan. It doesn’t matter which city they’re born in or their starting gender, as long as Japan is where you begin. From here, age up your character until they turn eight to start taking jiu-jitsu classes.

How to Master jiu-jitsu in BitLife

Your next step is to master jiu-jitsu. The easiest way to do this is to wait until your character turns eight before heading into Activities, picking Mind and Body, and entering the Martial Arts menu. Pick jiu-jitsu to have your character ask their parents.

There are two outcomes from here: they’ll either say yes or no. If they say yes, you can continue taking jiu-jitsu classes for free without any issues, allowing you to master it within that same year. However, if they say no, you’ll have to wait until your character reaches adulthood. While this doesn’t end the run immediately, you’ll have to spend some in-game money for each class, which gets expensive. If this happens, pick up a part-time job or marry rich to afford your classes.

Either way, you’ll know you mastered jiu-jitsu when you red belt status and learn a new martial arts move. Now, you can move on to becoming an exorcist.

How to become an exorcist in BitLife

Becoming an exorcist in BitLife only requires one thing: luck. To find the exorcist job, head into your full-time jobs list and scroll to the bottom until you see exorcist. You don’t have to go to university to get the job; it only comes down to getting lucky and finding it in your list. If you don’t see it right away, close and reopen the BitLife app or age up and recheck the list.

Once you find the exorcist role, apply for the job and pass the interview to become an exorcist. You’re now ready to deal with some ghosts.

How to exorcise ghosts in BitLife

Finding ghosts to exorcise requires buying a haunted house in BitLife. It doesn’t matter what the haunted property is, as long as it appears as “haunted” in your real estate store list.

To find a haunted house, head into Assets, Shopping, and any real estate broker. Scroll through these lists until you see a haunted house you can afford before buying it. Upon selecting your newly purchased lot, you’ll find a spirits tab, where you’ll see all the ghosts that currently live there.

Once you have your haunted house, pick any ghost and choose to exorcise it. More often than not, you’ll fail the attempt, and the ghost may retaliate. If this happens, watch your health and visit the gym regularly to make sure your character doesn’t pass away. Aside from this, continue attempting the exorcism until you get rid of every ghost in your house. From here, sell the house, rinse, and repeat the process until you reach five exorcisms.

How to murder people in BitLife

Your last task of the Cursed Killer Challenge is to murder ten people. This is simple in the game, as you can use safer methods such as poison or a drive-by to satisfy the condition. However, there is a chance your victim will fight back, which can end your run instantly.

Fortunately, if you’re caught and taken to jail by the police, you still have a chance to complete the challenge by escaping. As long as you have ten successful attempts during your character’s life, you’ll complete the final task of the Cursed Killer Challenge in BitLife.

Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has pushed out another update for Stardew Valley.

Update 1.6.6 addresses a number of bugs and some balance, gameplay, and translation issues, including restoring the ability to give your spouse crap flowers – the cornerstone of every healthy relationship, of course – and resolving an evaporating raccoon.

The patch also now means bee houses work with flowers in garden pots, the “Minecart depot” alternative layout now only appears in the upper or lava mine areas, and you can now turn the gold clock off and on.

Kakao Games has confirmed that it will be closing the North America and Europe servers of ArcheAge on June 27th. The main reason behind this is the declining player count which has meant some of the game’s content is not as accessible as it should be for the remaining players. Players will not be able to migrate characters to other server regions for ArcheAge, with those respective regions placing IP blocks in too. The full statement can be read below. “Dear Inheritors, As a publisher of games, it is our mission to provide our players with great and enjoyable gaming experiences, so it is with heavy hearts that we announce the official closure of our ArcheAge servers, effective June 27, 2024. After discussing the performance of ArcheAge with XL Games at length, we have concluded that we’re no longer able to provide the MMORPG we envisioned. The declining number of active players means the game’s content is no longer accessible in the way it used to be, and the experience of it is different from what was originally intended. In light of this, we’ve made the difficult decision to terminate the live service of ArcheAge in Europe and North America. We understand this news is disappointing, for it’s a feeling we share. ArcheAge has been a big part of our lives, and we know many of you have a history with the game many times longer than ours. As we approach the end of this journey, we invite you to join us as we ride into the sunset: Roadmap: Game Access: ArcheAge servers will remain live until 08:00 UTC on June 27, 2024. Customer Support: Our support team will be available until September 27 to assist with any inquiries or concerns. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to every member of Nuia, Haranya, and the Pirates who called ArcheAge home. Your spirit and stories will forever be a part of the legacy we created together. Though our paths may diverge, the memories we made will always remain. For ongoing updates, please keep an eye on our official channels. We are committed to providing a transparent and supportive service until the very last moment. Thank you for everything, ArcheAge Team The development team has released an FAQ and in it they confirm that unused credits and purchased packages are not eligible for refunds, though purchases made in the 14 days prior to the server closure  announcement will be refunded. Credits can no longer be purchased, though the in game marketplace will remain until June 27th. Information stored on the ArcheAge servers will be permanently deleted two weeks after the game’s closure, though Kakao accounts will remain active. Source: ArcheAge official site
