Author : Andrew May 04,2025

Embarking on the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife* involves a blend of fitness and darker deeds. If you possess the Assassin’s Blade, it'll come in handy, but fear not if you don’t—the challenge is achievable without it. Here’s your comprehensive guide to conquering this unique challenge.

This Week’s Tasks:

  • 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

Kickstart your journey by creating a custom life in Greece. While the rest of your character’s attributes are flexible, selecting the Crime Special Talent from the Job Packs can significantly aid your future criminal endeavors.

Have 100 Percent Health

Maintaining peak health in *BitLife* involves steering clear of harmful activities like alcohol consumption, drug use, and unprotected sex. Instead, focus on health-boosting actions such as frequent gym visits, walks, healthy diets, meditation, and alternative treatments like acupuncture. If all else fails, a bit of prayer can offer a health boost.

Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18

This task is straightforward. Post-18, navigate to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym. Ensure you have a job to cover the costs. Aim to visit the gym until you complete this task. Don’t rush; it doesn’t need to be done in a single year. Plus, keep an eye out for potential romantic encounters at the gym, which could help with the next task.

Strangle 5+ Enemies to Death

Before you can strangle anyone, you need enemies. Check your relationship tab for existing foes or deliberately turn friends into enemies. Once you have targets, head to Activities > Crime > Murder, select an enemy, and choose "Strangle Them." If the option doesn’t appear, simply close and reopen the menu to refresh it. Aim to eliminate at least five enemies, but consider doing this task last to avoid potential jail time that could hinder your other objectives.

Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven’t yet met a potential partner at the gym, go to Activities > Love > Date. Look for the prompt that mentions meeting at the gym and accept the date. Nurture the relationship until your partner agrees to your proposal and wedding plans.
