Conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife: A Comprehensive Guide

This BitLife challenge blends gym workouts with a darker side – murder. While the Assassin's Blade is helpful, it's not essential. Let's break down how to complete this challenge.

Challenge Objectives:

  • Be born in Greece
  • Maintain 100% Health
  • Visit the gym 10+ times after age 18
  • Strangle 5+ enemies
  • Marry someone met at the gym

Step-by-Step Walkthrough:

1. Birth in Greece:

Begin by creating a new BitLife character, selecting Greece as your birthplace. Optional: If you own the Crime Special Talent (from Job Packs), select it for easier enemy elimination.

2. 100% Health:

Maintaining perfect health requires proactive choices. Avoid risky behaviors like excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, and unprotected sex. Focus on health-boosting activities:

  • Regular gym visits
  • Walks
  • Healthy diet
  • Meditation
  • Acupuncture (or other alternative treatments)
  • Prayer (for a quick boost)
  • Seeking medical treatment when necessary

3. 10+ Gym Visits (Post-18):

Once your character turns 18, this becomes straightforward. Navigate to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym. Remember, you need a job to afford gym memberships. You don't need to hit 10 visits in a single year; spread them out as needed. Accept any date offers you receive at the gym – this helps with the marriage objective.

4. Strangle 5+ Enemies:

This requires creating enemies. You might acquire them naturally, but you can proactively generate them:

  • Check your Relationships tab for existing enemies.
  • If needed, go to the Relationships tab, select a friend, and choose the "Become Enemies" option.

Once you have enemies, go to Activities > Crime > Murder. Select an enemy and choose "Strangle Them." If this option isn't available, close and reopen the murder menu. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five enemies. Ideally, complete this after other objectives to avoid jail time hindering progress.

5. Marry a Gym Date:

If you haven't already met a gym date, go to Activities > Love > Date. Look for a date encounter mentioning "met at the gym." Accept the date, cultivate your relationship, and propose when the time is right.
