"Complete Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife: Step-by-Step Guide"

by Isaac Apr 18,2025

Ready to tackle the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife*? This week's challenge is all about hitting the gym and executing some strategic murders. If you own the Assassin’s Blade, you're in for a treat, but don't worry if you don't—it's still doable. Let's dive into the steps to complete the challenge.

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 starting a new life in Greece. When creating your character, opt for Greece as your country. While other traits are flexible, consider selecting the Crime Special Talent from the Job Packs if available. This talent will be handy when you're dealing with your enemies later on.

Have 100 Percent Health

Maintaining perfect health in *BitLife* involves a mix of healthy habits and avoiding risky behaviors. Steer clear of alcohol, drugs, and unprotected sex to prevent health declines. Instead, focus on activities that boost your health: frequent gym visits, walks, a healthy diet, meditation, and treatments like acupuncture. If all else fails, a bit of prayer might just give you the health boost you need.

Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18

This task is a breeze. Once you hit 18, head to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym. Keep in mind that gym visits require funds, so securing a job is a good move. You don't need to cram all 10 visits into one year; just keep going until you complete the task. Plus, hitting the gym could lead to a date offer—accept it to move forward with the marriage task.

Strangle 5+ Enemies to Death

To fulfill this task, you'll need enemies. You can acquire them naturally through life or deliberately by turning a friend into an enemy via the relationship tab. Once you have enemies lined up, navigate to Activities > Crime > Murder, select an enemy, and choose "Strangle Them." If the option doesn't appear, simply close and reopen the window to refresh the list. Repeat until you've taken out at least five enemies. It's wise to save this task for last to avoid jail time, which could hinder completing other tasks, especially marriage.

Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven't yet met someone at the gym, go to Activities > Love > Date. Look for a pop-up that mentions meeting at the gym and accept the date. Nurture the relationship until they're ready to accept your proposal and wedding plans.

With these steps, you'll conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife*. While having the Assassin’s Blade or Special Talents can be advantageous, you can complete this challenge successfully without them.
