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

Kickstart your challenge by creating a custom life and choosing Greece as your birthplace. Customize your character as desired, and if you have access to the Crime Special Talent from Job Packs, select it to aid in later tasks involving lethal actions.

Have 100 Percent Health

Maintaining peak health in *BitLife* involves steering clear of detrimental activities like excessive drinking, drug use, and unprotected sex, which can negatively impact your health. Instead, focus on positive actions such as frequent gym visits, walks, medical treatments, adopting a healthy diet, meditation, and exploring alternative therapies like acupuncture. If you're in a pinch, a prayer can also boost your health.

Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18

This straightforward task requires you to visit the gym at least 10 times after turning 18. Navigate to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym, and confirm your visit. Since gym visits cost money, securing a job is advisable. Remember, you don't need to complete all visits in one year; just keep going until the task is checked off. Keep an eye out for date offers at the gym, as these could lead to meeting your future spouse.

Strangle 5+ Enemies to Death

To fulfill this ominous task, you'll need enemies. You might naturally accumulate them over time, which you can verify in the relationship tab. Alternatively, you can manually select a friend from your relationship tab and opt to become enemies.

Once you have enemies, head to Activities > Crime > Murder, select an enemy, and choose "Strangle Them" as your method. If the option doesn't appear, close and reopen the window to refresh the list. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five enemies. It's wise to tackle this task last, as incarceration could hinder your progress on other tasks, especially marriage.

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 date encounter where it's mentioned you met at the gym, and accept the date. Nurture the relationship until your partner agrees to your proposal and wedding plans.

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