How to Complete the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife

Conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife: A Comprehensive Guide

This BitLife challenge blends gym workouts with a criminal element. While the Assassin's Blade offers an advantage, it's entirely conquerable without it. Let's break down how to complete the Herc the Merc Challenge.

Challenge Objectives:

• Be born in Greece
• Maintain 100% Health
• Visit the gym 10+ times after age 18
• Strangle 5+ enemies
• Marry someone met at the gym

Step-by-Step Walkthrough:

1. Greek Origins:

Begin by creating a new BitLife character, selecting Greece as your birthplace. While optional, the Crime Special Talent (from Job Packs) significantly aids the murder aspect.

2. Maintaining Peak Health:

Achieving 100% health requires consistent effort. Avoid risky behaviors like substance abuse and unprotected sex. Instead, prioritize health-boosting activities: regular gym visits, walks, seeking medical attention when needed, healthy diets, meditation, and alternative treatments. Prayer can provide a temporary health boost if necessary.

3. Gym Rat:

Once your character turns 18, consistently visit the gym (Activities > Mind and Body > Gym). This is straightforward, though it requires funds; secure a job concurrently. Note that gym visits can lead to date offers – accept these to progress towards the marriage objective. You don't need to hit 10 gym visits in a single year.

4. Eliminating Enemies:

This step requires creating enemies. You might randomly acquire enemies throughout life; check your Relationships tab. Alternatively, actively cultivate enemies by selecting a friend in the Relationships tab and choosing the "Become Enemies" option.

Once you have enemies, navigate to Activities > Crime > Murder. Select an enemy and choose "Strangle Them." If this option isn't available, refresh the menu by closing and reopening it. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five enemies. It's advisable to tackle this last, as jail time hinders other objectives, particularly marriage.

5. Gym Romance:

If you haven't already met a potential spouse at the gym, use Activities > Love > Date. Look for a date encounter specifying "met at the gym" in the pop-up. Accept the date, cultivate your relationship, and eventually propose marriage.

Completing these steps successfully concludes the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife. While helpful, Special Talents and items like the Assassin's Blade aren't essential for completion.
