By AmeliaApr 09,2025

Embarking on the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife* requires a blend of fitness and darker deeds. Whether you possess the Assassin's Blade or not, you can still navigate this challenge successfully. Here’s a detailed guide on how to achieve each task in the Herc the Merc Challenge.

BitLife Herc the Merc Challenge Walkthrough

This Week's Tasks:

  • 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

To kick off the Herc the Merc Challenge, begin by creating a custom life in Greece. This sets the stage for your journey. While customizing your character, consider selecting the Crime Special Talent from Job Packs if available. This talent will prove invaluable when it's time to eliminate your enemies.

Have 100 Percent Health

Maintaining perfect health is crucial for this challenge. Steer clear of detrimental activities like drinking alcohol, using drugs, or engaging in unprotected sex, as these can diminish your health. Instead, focus on positive actions such as regular gym visits, taking walks, seeking necessary treatments, adopting a healthy diet, practicing meditation, and exploring alternative treatments like acupuncture. Should you need a health boost, consider praying.

Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18

This task is straightforward. Once you reach 18, head to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym. Since gym visits incur costs, ensure you have a job to fund your fitness regime. You don't need to complete all ten visits in one year; just keep going until the task is marked complete. Additionally, gym visits might lead to a date offer, which is a great opportunity to meet your future spouse.

Strangle 5+ Enemies to Death

First, you'll need to have enemies. You can either wait for them to appear naturally or proactively create them by navigating to your relationship tab, selecting a friend, and choosing to become enemies. Once you have targets, go to Activities > Crime > Murder, select an enemy, and choose "Strangle Them" as the method. If this option isn't available, close and reopen the menu to refresh the list. Repeat until you've successfully strangled at least five enemies. It's advisable to complete this task last to avoid potential jail time that could hinder other tasks, especially getting married.

Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven't yet met a potential partner at the gym, go to Activities > Love > Date. Look for a pop-up that indicates you met the person at the gym, and accept the date. Build your relationship with them until they're ready to accept your proposal and proceed with wedding plans.

By following these steps, you'll successfully complete the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife*. While having tools like the Assassin's Blade or Special Talents can be advantageous, they are not necessary to conquer this challenge.
