How to Complete the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife

Conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife* with this comprehensive guide. This challenge blends fitness fanaticism with a touch of…ruthlessness. Having the Assassin’s Blade certainly helps, but it’s not strictly necessary. Let’s dive in!

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. Your other character details are entirely up to you. However, if you own the Job Packs and have the Crime Special Talent, selecting it will prove advantageous later.

Achieve 100% Health

Maintaining peak health isn't an exact science, but here are some strategies: Avoid risky behaviors like alcohol, drugs, and unprotected sex. Instead, focus on health-boosting activities: regular gym visits, walks, seeking medical attention when needed, adopting a healthy diet, meditation, and exploring alternative treatments like acupuncture. Prayer can also provide a temporary health boost if needed.

Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18

This is the simplest task. Once you turn 18, navigate to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym. Remember, gym visits cost money, so secure a job beforehand. You don't need to hit the gym ten times in a single year; just keep going until the objective is complete. A bonus: you might even score a date at the gym, which helps with the marriage objective.

Strangle 5+ Enemies

To strangle enemies, you'll first need enemies! You might acquire enemies naturally throughout your life; check your relationships tab. If not, create some friction by going to your 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 doesn't appear, close and reopen the window to refresh. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five enemies. It’s advisable to tackle this task last, as jail time can hinder progress on other objectives, especially marriage.

Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven't met a potential spouse at the gym, use Activities > Love > Date. The date encounter pop-up will indicate where you met. If it's the gym, accept the date! Cultivate your relationship until they accept your proposal and you can plan your wedding.

Congratulations! You’ve conquered the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife. While helpful, special talents and items like the Assassin’s Blade aren't essential for success.
