Conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife: A Step-by-Step Guide

This BitLife challenge blends gym workouts with a less-than-legal activity: murder. While the Assassin's Blade can be helpful, it's not essential. Let's break down how to complete this challenge.

Challenge Objectives:

  • Born in Greece
  • 100% Health
  • 10+ Gym Visits (after age 18)
  • Strangle 5+ Enemies
  • Marry Someone Met at the Gym

1. Birth and Beginnings:

Create a new life, selecting Greece as your birthplace. The Crime Special Talent (from Job Packs) is advantageous but not mandatory.

2. Maintaining Perfect Health:

Maintaining 100% health requires proactive choices. Avoid risky behaviors like alcohol, drugs, and unprotected sex. Instead, focus on health-boosting activities:

  • Regular gym visits
  • Walks
  • Seeking medical treatment when needed
  • Healthy diet
  • Meditation
  • Alternative treatments (acupuncture, etc.)
  • Prayer (for a quick boost)

3. Gym Junkie:

Once you turn 18, consistently visit the gym (Activities > Mind and Body > Gym). Remember, you can spread these visits across multiple years. Accept any date offers you receive at the gym – this helps with the marriage objective. Secure a job to fund your gym habit.

4. Eliminating Enemies:

This requires creating enemies. You might gain enemies naturally, but you can proactively create them through the relationship tab. Select a friend, then choose the option to become enemies.

Once you have enemies, go to Activities > Crime > Murder. Select an enemy and choose "Strangle Them" as the method. If this option doesn't appear, close and reopen the menu. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five enemies. It's advisable to tackle this objective last, as jail time can hinder other tasks.

5. Gym Romance:

If you haven't already met a date at the gym, use Activities > Love > Date. The date prompt will indicate where you met. Accept dates from gym encounters. Cultivate your relationship until they accept your proposal and you can plan your wedding.
