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

This BitLife challenge blends fitness fanaticism with a touch of…elimination. The Assassin’s Blade helps, but isn't essential. Let's break down how to complete it.

Challenge Objectives:

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

1. Greek Beginnings:

Create a new life, selecting Greece as your birthplace. The Crime Special Talent (from Job Packs) is advantageous for later stages.

2. Maintaining Peak Health:

Achieving 100% health requires proactive choices. Avoid risky behaviors (alcohol, drugs, unprotected sex). Focus on health-boosting activities: gym visits, walks, healthy diets, meditation, acupuncture, prayer, and seeking medical attention when needed.

3. Gym Rat:

Once you turn 18, regularly visit the gym (Activities > Mind and Body > Gym). This is easily accomplished over time. Remember, gym visits also offer dating opportunities, crucial for the final objective. Secure a job to fund your gym habit.

4. Eliminating the Competition (Strangling):

This requires enemies. You might acquire them naturally, or proactively create rivalries via the Relationships tab (select a friend, choose "Become Enemies"). Once you have targets, navigate to Activities > Crime > Murder. Select an enemy and choose "Strangle Them" as the method. Refresh the menu if the option isn't immediately available. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five. It's advisable to tackle this after other objectives to avoid jail time hindering progress.

5. Gym Romance:

If you haven't met a date at the gym, use Activities > Love > Date. Look for the "Met at the Gym" indicator. Accept the date, cultivate your relationship, and propose when the time is right.
