Conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife* with this comprehensive guide. This challenge blends fitness fanaticism with a touch of…ruthlessness. Having the Assassin’s Blade certainly helps, but it's not essential. Let's break down how to succeed.
BitLife Herc the Merc Challenge Walkthrough
This week's objectives:
- Be born in Greece
- Achieve 100% Health
- Visit the gym 10+ times after age 18
- Strangle 5+ enemies
- Marry someone you met at the gym
Be Born in Greece
Begin by creating a new life and selecting Greece as your birthplace. Other creation options are up to you, but if you have the Crime Special Talent (from Job Packs), it's a significant advantage for later stages.
Achieve 100% Health
Maintaining perfect health requires proactive choices. Avoid risky behaviors like alcohol, drugs, and unprotected sex. Instead, focus on health-boosting activities: regular gym visits, walks, seeking medical attention when needed, healthy diets, meditation, acupuncture, and even prayer for a quick boost.
Visit the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18
This is straightforward. After turning 18, navigate to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym. Remember, gym visits cost money, so secure a job beforehand. You don't need 10 visits in a single year; spread them out as needed. A bonus: gym visits offer dating opportunities, aiding your marriage objective.
Strangle 5+ Enemies

First, you need enemies. You might acquire them naturally, or proactively make enemies via the relationship tab by choosing a friend and selecting the "become enemies" option. 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. Ideally, complete this after other tasks to avoid jail time hindering progress.
Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven’t met a gym date yet, use Activities > Love > Date. Look for a date encounter mentioning the gym. Accept the date, build your relationship, and propose when ready.
Congratulations! You've conquered the Herc the Merc Challenge. While special talents and items like the Assassin’s Blade offer advantages, this challenge is entirely achievable without them.
