Conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife: A Step-by-Step Guide

This BitLife challenge blends gym workouts with a darker side – murder. While the Assassin’s Blade is helpful, it’s not essential. Let's break down how to succeed.

Challenge Objectives:

  • Born in Greece
  • 100% Health
  • 10+ Gym Visits (Post-18)
  • Strangle 5+ Enemies
  • Marry Someone Met at the Gym

1. Greek Beginnings:

Create a new life, selecting Greece as your birthplace. Optional: If you own the Crime Special Talent (from Job Packs), choose it for easier enemy elimination.

2. Maintaining Perfect Health:

Maintaining 100% health requires proactive choices. Avoid risky behaviors like alcohol, drugs, and unprotected sex. Focus on health-boosting activities:

  • Regular gym visits
  • Walks
  • Seeking medical treatment when needed
  • Healthy diet
  • Meditation
  • Alternative treatments (acupuncture, etc.)
  • Prayer (for a quick boost)

3. Gym Rat:

Once you turn 18, frequently visit the gym (Activities > Mind and Body > Gym). This is straightforward but requires consistent effort. Remember, you don't need 10 visits in a single year. Accept any date offers you receive at the gym – this helps with the marriage objective. Consider getting a job to fund your gym habit.

4. Eliminating Enemies:

This requires creating enemies. You might acquire them naturally, but you can also force it:

  • Check your Relationships tab for existing enemies.
  • If needed, go to the Relationships tab, select a friend, and choose the "Become Enemies" option.

Once you have enemies, initiate murder (Activities > Crime > Murder). Select an enemy and choose "Strangle Them." If "Strangle Them" isn't available, refresh the menu by closing and reopening it. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five enemies. It's advisable to complete this after other objectives to avoid jail time hindering progress.

5. Gym Romance:

If you haven't met a date at the gym, use the dating feature (Activities > Love > Date). Look for the "Met at the Gym" notification. Accept the date, cultivate your relationship, and eventually propose marriage.

Completing these steps will unlock the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife. Special Talents and items like the Assassin’s Blade offer advantages, but aren't necessary for success.
