Complete Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife: A Guide

This guide will walk you through completing the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife, which involves spending time at the gym and committing murder. If you possess the Assassin’s Blade, you can make good use of it; however, it's not necessary to complete the challenge. Here's how to tackle each task:

BitLife Herc the Merc Challenge Walkthrough

This week's tasks are:

• Be born in Greece
• Have 100 percent Health
• Go to the gym 10+ times after Age 18
• Strangle 5+ enemies to death
• Marry someone you met at the gym

Be Born In Greece

Begin the challenge by creating a custom life and choosing Greece as your birthplace. Other creation options are flexible, but selecting the Crime Special Talent from Job Packs, if available, can facilitate the murder aspect of the challenge.

Have 100 Percent Health

Maintaining optimal health involves avoiding risky behaviors such as drinking, drugs, and unprotected sex, which can decrease your health. Instead, engage in health-boosting activities like regular gym visits, walks, medical treatments, healthy diets, meditation, and alternative treatments like acupuncture. Praying can also provide a health boost when necessary.

Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18

This task is straightforward. After turning 18, navigate to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym and confirm your visit. Since gym visits cost money, securing a job is advisable. You don't need to visit 10 times in one year, but continue until the task is completed. Visiting the gym also offers opportunities to meet potential partners, which is crucial for the next task.

Strangle 5+ Enemies to Death

To accomplish this, you'll need enemies. You can naturally accumulate enemies over time, which you can check in the relationship tab. Alternatively, you can deliberately create enemies by selecting a friend from the relationship tab and choosing to become enemies.

Once you have enemies, go to Activities > Crime > Murder, select an enemy, and choose "Strangle Them" as the method. If this option doesn't appear, close and reopen the menu to refresh the list. Repeat until you've strangled at least five enemies. It's advisable to complete this task last to avoid jail time, which can hinder other tasks, especially marriage.

Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven't met someone at the gym yet, visit Activities > Love > Date to encounter potential partners. Look for the note at the top of the date pop-up indicating where you met them. If it mentions the gym, accept the date. Build your relationship until they agree to your proposal and wedding plans.

By following these steps, you'll successfully complete the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife. While items like the Assassin’s Blade and Special Talents can be advantageous, they are not essential for completing the challenge.
