Conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife: A Comprehensive Guide
This BitLife challenge blends gym workouts with a less-than-legal pursuit: murder. While the Assassin’s Blade can be helpful, it’s not essential. Let's break down how to complete this challenge.
Challenge Objectives:
- Be born in Greece
- Achieve 100% Health
- Visit the gym 10+ times after age 18
- Strangle 5+ enemies
- Marry someone met at the gym
Step-by-Step Walkthrough:
1. Greek Origins:
Begin by creating a new life and selecting Greece as your birthplace. Optional: If you own the Job Packs and have the Crime Special Talent, select it for easier enemy elimination.
2. Maintaining Peak Health:
Maintaining 100% health requires consistent effort. Avoid risky behaviors like drug use, excessive alcohol consumption, 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 Rat:
Once you turn 18, consistently visit the gym (Activities > Mind and Body > Gym). Remember, you don't need to hit the gym ten times in a single year; spread it out. This also increases your chances of meeting a potential spouse.
4. Eliminating Enemies:
This requires creating enemies. You might acquire enemies naturally, or you can proactively create them (Relationships tab, select a friend, choose "Become Enemies").
Once you have enemies, initiate murder (Activities > Crime > Murder). Select an enemy and choose "Strangle Them." If this option doesn't appear, refresh the menu by closing and reopening it. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five enemies. Note: It's advisable to complete this step last, as jail time can hinder other objectives.
5. Gym Romance:
If you haven't already met someone at the gym, use the dating feature (Activities > Love > Date). Look for the "Met at the gym" message in the date pop-up. Accept the date, cultivate your relationship, and propose marriage.
Completing these steps will successfully finish the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife. While helpful, special talents and items like the Assassin’s Blade are not mandatory for success.
