How to Complete the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife

Author : Eric Apr 03,2025

Embarking on the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife* is an exciting journey that combines fitness with darker deeds. Whether you possess the Assassin's Blade or not, this guide will help you navigate through the challenge with ease. Here’s how to successfully complete each task in the Herc the Merc Challenge.

BitLife Herc the Merc Challenge Walkthrough

This week’s tasks include:

  • 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

To kick off the challenge, create a custom life and choose Greece as your birthplace. While setting up your character, consider selecting the Crime Special Talent if it's available from Job Packs. This talent will prove beneficial for the more sinister aspects of the challenge later on.

Have 100 Percent Health

Maintaining optimal health in *BitLife* involves steering clear of detrimental choices like excessive drinking, drug use, and unprotected sex, which can diminish your health. Instead, focus on health-boosting activities such as regular gym visits, walks, medical treatments, a balanced diet, meditation, and alternative therapies like acupuncture. If your health dips, consider praying for a boost.

Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18

This task is straightforward. Once you reach 18, head to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym. Remember, gym visits require funds, so securing a job is essential. You don't need to complete all 10 visits in a single year; just keep going until the task is checked off. Additionally, gym visits might lead to romantic encounters, which can help with the next task.

Strangle 5+ Enemies to Death

To fulfill this task, you'll need enemies. You can naturally accumulate enemies over time, or you can deliberately create them by selecting a friend from your relationship tab and choosing to become enemies. Once you have targets, navigate to Activities > Crime > Murder, select an enemy, and choose "Strangle Them" as your method. If the option doesn't appear, close and reopen the menu to refresh the list. Aim to complete this task last to avoid potential jail time that could hinder other tasks, especially getting married.

Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven't met a potential partner at the gym yet, continue your visits until you receive a date offer. When a date pop-up appears, check if it mentions meeting at the gym. If so, accept the date and work on building a strong relationship until they agree to your proposal and wedding plans.

By following these steps, you'll successfully complete the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife*. While having the Assassin's Blade or Special Talents can be advantageous, they are not necessary to conquer this challenge.
