Embarking on the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife* requires a blend of fitness and, well, a darker side. If you're equipped with the Assassin’s Blade, you're in for a treat, but don't fret if you're not—this guide will walk you through completing the challenge successfully.
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 your journey by creating a custom life in Greece. Choose Greece as your country of origin. While setting up your character, consider selecting the Crime Special Talent from Job Packs if available. This will give you an edge in executing the more sinister parts of the challenge.
Have 100 Percent Health
Maintaining perfect health is key, but it's not an exact science. Steer clear of harmful habits like alcohol, drugs, and unprotected sex to keep your health from dropping. Instead, focus on health-boosting activities such as regular gym visits, walks, medical treatments, a healthy diet, meditation, and alternative treatments like acupuncture. If needed, praying can offer a health boost.
Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18
Post your 18th birthday, head to the gym by navigating to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym. Remember, gym visits cost money, so securing a job is advisable. There's no rush to complete all 10 visits in a single year; just keep going until you've checked this task off your list. Keep an eye out for date offers at the gym, as accepting one can aid in fulfilling the marriage task.
Strangle 5+ Enemies to Death

To tackle this task, you'll need enemies. You can naturally accumulate enemies over time or manually select them from your relationship tab by turning a friend into an enemy. Once you have enemies, navigate to Activities > Crime > Murder, select an enemy, and choose "Strangle Them" as your method. If the option doesn't appear, close and reopen the murder menu to refresh your choices. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five enemies. It's wise to complete this task last to avoid jail time, which could hinder other tasks, especially getting married.
Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven't yet encountered a potential partner at the gym, head to Activities > Love > Date. Look for a date encounter where it's noted that you met at the gym. Accept the date, nurture the relationship, and eventually propose and plan your wedding.
By following these steps, you'll successfully navigate the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife*. While having the Assassin’s Blade and Special Talents can be advantageous, they're not necessary to conquer this challenge.
