"Complete Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife: A Guide"

by Olivia Apr 15,2025

Embarking on the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife* requires a blend of physical fitness and, well, a darker side. Whether you possess the Assassin’s Blade or not, you can successfully navigate through this challenge. Here's your comprehensive guide to mastering the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife*.

BitLife Herc the Merc Challenge Walkthrough

This week’s tasks encompass a range of activities, from maintaining peak physical health to engaging in criminal acts:

  • 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 life in Greece. Customize your character as you see fit, but if you have access to the Crime Special Talent from Job Packs, selecting it can give you an edge in the more sinister parts of this challenge.

Have 100 Percent Health

Maintaining optimal health is crucial. Steer clear of harmful behaviors such as alcohol consumption, drug use, and unprotected sex, as these can detract from your health. Instead, focus on health-boosting activities like regular gym visits, walks, medical treatments when necessary, adopting a healthy diet, meditation, and alternative treatments like acupuncture. If you're in a pinch, a prayer might just give you the health boost you need.

Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18

This task is straightforward but requires consistency. Post-18, navigate to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym to work out. Remember, you'll need money for gym visits, so securing a job is essential. You don't need to cram all 10 visits into one year; just keep going until you've hit your target. Plus, the gym is a prime spot for meeting potential partners, which ties into another challenge task.

Strangle 5+ Enemies to Death

To tackle this task, you'll first need enemies. These can arise naturally over time, or you can manually select friends to become foes via the relationship tab. Once you have enemies, head to Activities > Crime > Murder, choose an enemy, and select "Strangle Them" as your method. If this option isn't available, simply close and reopen the menu to refresh the list. Aim to eliminate at least five enemies, but consider completing this task last to avoid complications like jail time that could hinder your progress on other tasks, especially getting married.

Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven't yet met a potential partner at the gym, you can initiate a date through Activities > Love > Date. Look for a date where the encounter specifies you met at the gym. Accept the date, then nurture the relationship until your partner is ready to accept your proposal and wedding plans.

By following these steps, you'll successfully conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife*. While tools like the Assassin’s Blade and Special Talents can be advantageous, they're not essential to completing this challenge. Dive into the world of *BitLife*, maintain your health, hit the gym, and navigate the darker paths to emerge victorious.
