The Lard Of The Rings is a questline in The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It was introduced in the Treehouse of Horror XXIV content update. It requires Strongman Homer to be obtained.

Dialogue

Pt. 1

After tapping on Strongman Homer's exclamation mark Greetings! I am a circus strongman, the 13th most popular sideshow at the circus. But the guy who eats glass is retiring soon, so I'll be moving up the list. I have the strength of Hercules! And like Hercules, I have been tasked by the gods to perform Twelve Labors. Unlike Hercules, I'll probably only get through five of them. Help me achieve my First Labor: impressing rubes with a feat of strength! Task: "Make Strongman Homer Impress Rubes with His Strength". The job takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2

After tapping on Strongman Homer's exclamation mark What will be the second Labor of Homercles? If I can earn the gods' favor, they will grant me a boon... Perhaps a leotard that doesn't bind up in the crotch. Strongman, I have an eight-headed hydra that will take all your strength to defeat. *Gasp* You mean... the octuplets?! Yes! My kids broke into the bulk Halloween candy and now they're going crazy in my store on a total sugar high. Do whatever you must. As a loving parent I ask only this: keep the windows closed so I don't hear them screaming. Task: "Make Strongman Homer Battle Apu's Octuplets". The job takes place at a Kwik-E-Mart and takes 60 minutes. I almost had them trapped behind the Squishee machine, but then they beat me up and stole my weight belt. Beating up an employee... sometimes my kids make me proud. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3

After tapping on Strongman Homer's exclamation mark Who's got a Labor? Looking for a Labor. Hey, strongman! I bought a bunch of horse meat from this Greek guy, Diomedes, for my new signature Krusty Whinniewich. How'd you like to tenderize it by pounding it with your fat fists? They're not fat, they're full-figured. Task: "Reach Level 7 and Build the Krusty Burger". Task: "Make Strongman Homer Punch Meat in the Freezer". The job takes place at Krusty Burger and takes 4 hours. Well, I made a lot of progress. The meat used to be tough as boot leather, now it's only tough as shoe leather. Another Krusty Burger disaster. I guess the moral is, don't look at Greeks bearing gift horses for the mouth. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4

After tapping on Strongman Homer's exclamation mark I gotta get one of these labors right, or I'll never get my boon from the gods. And I want boon! Major boon! Strongman, I have lost one of my hounds. For your next task, you must travel into Hell, find him, and bring him back. I get finding a lost dog, but what's the "travel into Hell" part? Well, he'll only come to my voice. So you must carry me pick-a-back while we search... And the entire time I'm going to complain about the cost of employee health and pension benefits. So cruel! Still, eyes on the boon. Eyes on the boon. Task: "Reach Level 11 and Build the Cooling Towers". Task: "Make Strongman Homer Piggyback Mr. Burns". The job requires Mr. Burns and takes 24 hours. Oh, my poor little doggie, you look so tired. Just clamp your jaws on the Strongman's leg and he'll drag you home. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5

After tapping on Strongman Homer's exclamation mark I'm so sick of doing labors! Who'd've thought they'd be like work! I've got a job for you. I need you to kill a bull in my tavern. Kill him yourself. The next feat of strength I'm doing is thunder farts. Nah, I mean killing a "Duff Bull", the new beer from Duff. "There's no bull about Duff Bull." Or some such. Finally a labor that involves getting drunk, like my regular job. Task: "Reach Level 15 and Build Moe's Tavern". Task: "Make Strongman Homer Drink Duff Bull". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 8 hours. After the task is complete: Well, counting up the empties on the bar, I'd say you finished the Twelve Labors of Homercles. Let's go for forty-seven. Quest reward: 200 and 20
