Conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife: A Step-by-Step 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:
- Born in Greece
- 100% Health
- 10+ Gym Visits (after age 18)
- Strangle 5+ Enemies
- Marry Someone Met at the Gym
1. Greek Origins:
Begin by creating a new life, selecting Greece as your birthplace. Other creation options are your choice. The Crime Special Talent (from Job Packs) is advantageous for the murder aspect.
2. Maintaining Peak Health:
Achieving 100% health requires consistent effort. Avoid risky behaviors like alcohol, drugs, and unprotected sex. Focus on health-boosting activities: gym visits, walks, seeking medical treatment when needed, healthy diets, meditation, and alternative therapies (acupuncture). Prayer can provide a temporary health boost.
3. Gym Rat:
Once you turn 18, regularly visit the gym (Activities > Mind and Body > Gym). This is easiest if you secure a job to fund your gym habit. Remember, you can spread these visits over multiple years. Accept any date offers received at the gym; this aids in the final objective.
4. Eliminating Enemies:
This requires creating enemies. You might randomly acquire enemies throughout life; check your relationships tab. Alternatively, make enemies intentionally by selecting a friend in the relationships tab and choosing the "become enemies" option.
Once you have enemies, navigate to Activities > Crime > Murder. Select an enemy and choose "Strangle Them" as the method. If this option isn't available, refresh the menu by closing and reopening it. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five enemies. It's advisable to tackle this last, as jail time hinders other objectives, especially marriage.
5. Gym Romance:
If you haven't already met a date at the gym, use Activities > Love > Date. Look for a date encounter where you met "at the gym." Accept the date, cultivate your relationship, and eventually propose and marry them.
Congratulations! You've completed the Herc the Merc Challenge. While helpful, special talents and items aren't strictly necessary for success.
