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

by Simon Mar 28,2025

Embarking on the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife* combines fitness with a darker side—committing murder. If you possess the Assassin’s Blade, it will serve you well, but fear not if you don’t; you can still conquer this challenge. Here's your comprehensive guide to completing the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife*.

BitLife Herc the Merc Challenge Walkthrough

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

Kick off your journey by creating a custom life in Greece. While selecting Greece, you can customize other aspects of your character. If you have access to the Crime Special Talent from Job Packs, choose it to aid in your criminal endeavors later on.

Have 100 Percent Health

Maintaining peak health involves steering clear of harmful choices like alcohol, drugs, and unprotected sex, which can diminish your health. Instead, focus on health-boosting activities such as regular gym visits, walks, medical treatments, a nutritious diet, meditation, and alternative therapies like acupuncture. In a pinch, praying can also help boost your health.

Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18

This task is straightforward. Post-18, navigate to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym and confirm your attendance. Remember, gym visits require money, so secure a job. You don't need to complete all visits in one year, just ensure you reach the 10+ mark. Additionally, visiting the gym might lead to romantic encounters, which can help with the next task.

Strangle 5+ Enemies to Death

To fulfill this grim task, you'll need enemies. You can naturally accumulate enemies over time or deliberately choose to turn friends into foes via the relationship tab. Once you have enemies, head to Activities > Crime > Murder, select an enemy, and choose "Strangle Them." If the option doesn't appear, close and reopen the menu to refresh the list. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five enemies. It's advisable to tackle this task last to avoid jail time that could hinder other tasks, especially marriage.

Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven't met someone at the gym yet, go to Activities > Love > Date. Look for a date encounter where it's mentioned you met at the gym, and accept it. Nurture the relationship until your partner agrees to your proposal and wedding plans.

With these steps, you'll successfully complete the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife*. While tools like the Assassin’s Blade and Special Talents can be advantageous, they're not essential for triumphing in this challenge.
