Conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife* with this comprehensive guide. This challenge blends fitness fanaticism with a touch of…elimination. Having the Assassin’s Blade certainly helps, but it’s not strictly necessary. Let’s dive into the steps:
BitLife Herc the Merc Challenge Walkthrough
This week’s objectives:
- Be born in Greece
- Achieve 100% Health
- Visit the gym 10+ times after age 18
- Strangle 5+ enemies
- Marry someone you met at the gym
Be Born in Greece
Begin by creating a new life and selecting Greece as your birthplace. Customize the rest of your character as desired. If you own the Job Packs and have the Crime Special Talent, selecting it will streamline the murder aspect later.
Achieve 100% Health
Maintaining perfect health requires proactive choices. Avoid risky behaviors like excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, and unprotected sex. Instead, focus on health-boosting activities: regular gym visits, walks, seeking medical treatment when needed, maintaining a healthy diet, meditation, and exploring alternative therapies like acupuncture. Prayer can also provide a temporary health boost if needed.
Visit the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18
This is the simplest task. Once you turn 18, navigate to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym. Remember to secure a job to fund your gym memberships. You don't need to hit the gym ten times in a single year; spread your visits out as needed. Keep an eye out for potential dates at the gym—accepting them will help you complete the marriage objective.
Strangle 5+ Enemies

To eliminate enemies, you'll first need some. You might acquire enemies naturally throughout your life; check your Relationships tab. If not, create some by navigating to the Relationships tab, selecting a friend, and choosing the option to become enemies.
Once you have targets, go to Activities > Crime > Murder. Select an enemy and choose "Strangle Them." If this option isn't available, close and reopen the menu to refresh. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five enemies. It's advisable to tackle this task last, as jail time can significantly hinder progress on other objectives, especially marriage.
Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven't already met a potential spouse at the gym, navigate to Activities > Love > Date. Look for a date encounter that specifies "met at the gym." Accept the date, nurture the relationship, and propose once your bond is strong enough.
Congratulations! You've completed the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife. While helpful, special talents and items like the Assassin’s Blade aren't essential for success.
