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

Kick off your challenge by creating a new custom life and choosing Greece as your birthplace. Feel free to customize other aspects of your character as you see fit. If you have the Crime Special Talent from the Job Packs, it's wise to select it to facilitate the later task of eliminating enemies.

Have 100 Percent Health

Maintaining perfect health in *BitLife* involves steering clear of harmful activities like drinking alcohol, using drugs, or engaging in unprotected sex. Instead, prioritize health-boosting activities such as regular gym visits, taking walks, adhering to a healthy diet, meditating, and exploring alternative treatments like acupuncture. If you're in a pinch, a quick prayer might give you the health boost you need.

Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18

This task is relatively straightforward. Once you hit 18, navigate to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym and commit to your workout sessions. Keep in mind that gym visits cost money, so securing a job is essential. You don't need to squeeze in all 10 visits within a single year; just keep going until the task is checked off. Plus, hitting the gym opens up opportunities to meet potential romantic partners, which ties into the next task.

Strangle 5+ Enemies to Death

To fulfill this task, you'll need enemies. You can naturally accumulate enemies over time, which you can track in the relationship tab. If you're short on enemies, you can create them by selecting a friend in your relationship tab and opting to become enemies.

With enemies in place, head to Activities > Crime > Murder. Select an enemy and choose "Strangle Them" as your method. If this option doesn't appear, simply close and reopen the window to refresh the list. Repeat until you've successfully strangled at least five enemies. It's advisable to tackle this task last, as jail time could hinder your progress on other tasks, particularly getting married.

Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven't met someone special at the gym yet, don't worry. Go to Activities > Love > Date, and keep an eye out for a pop-up indicating a new potential partner. If the pop-up mentions meeting them at the gym, accept the date. Nurture 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 having tools like the Assassin’s Blade or Special Talents can be advantageous, they're not necessary to conquer this challenge.
