Conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife: A Step-by-Step Guide

This BitLife challenge blends gym workouts with a less-than-legal pursuit: murder. While the Assassin's Blade offers an advantage, it's entirely conquerable without it. Let's break down how to complete the Herc the Merc Challenge.

Challenge Tasks:

  • Born in Greece
  • 100% Health
  • 10+ Gym Visits (Post-18)
  • Strangle 5+ Enemies
  • Marry Someone Met at the Gym

1. Birth in Greece:

Begin by creating a new BitLife character, selecting Greece as your birthplace. Optional: If you own the Job Packs offering the Crime Special Talent, select it for an easier time with the murder aspect.

2. Maintaining 100% Health:

Maintaining perfect health requires proactive choices. Avoid risky behaviors like substance abuse and unprotected sex. Instead, focus on health-boosting activities: regular gym visits, walks, seeking medical attention when needed, healthy diets, meditation, and alternative treatments (acupuncture, etc.). Prayer can provide a temporary health boost if needed.

3. 10+ Gym Visits (Post-18):

This is straightforward. Once your character turns 18, repeatedly visit the gym (Activities > Mind and Body > Gym). Secure a job to fund these visits. The visits don't need to be consecutive; spread them out across your life. A date offer from the gym is a bonus—accept it to progress towards the marriage task.

4. Strangle 5+ Enemies:

BitLife Strangle Them Murder Option

This requires creating enemies. You might acquire enemies naturally, but you can also proactively create them via the relationship tab. Choose a friend, and select the option to become enemies. Then, navigate to Activities > Crime > Murder, select an enemy, and choose "Strangle Them" as the murder method. If the option isn't available, close and reopen the menu. Repeat until you've eliminated five enemies. Ideally, complete this after other tasks, as jail time can hinder progress.

5. Marry Someone Met at the Gym:

BitLife Date option at the Gym

If you haven't already met a gym date, use Activities > Love > Date. Check the date encounter pop-up; if it indicates a gym meeting, accept. Cultivate your relationship until they accept your proposal and wedding plans.

Congratulations! By following these steps, you've successfully completed the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife, even without special talents or items.
