Weekly Tasks Overview
- Be born in Greece
- Maintain 100% Health
- Visit the gym 10+ times after turning 18
- Strangle 5+ enemies to death
- Marry someone you met at the gym
Step 1: Be Born in Greece
To begin the Herc the Merc Challenge, start by creating a custom life in *BitLife*. Choose Greece as your country of birth. The remaining character settings are up to you, but if you have access to the Crime Special Talent through Job Packs, it’s a good idea to select it. This talent will assist you later when dealing with enemies and committing murders.
Step 2: Maintain 100% Health
Keeping your character’s health at peak condition requires consistent effort. Avoid harmful activities like drinking alcohol, using drugs, or engaging in unprotected sex, as these can lower your health. Instead, focus on health-boosting actions such as regular gym visits, walking, maintaining a healthy diet, meditating, and even trying alternative treatments like acupuncture. If you’re struggling to maintain perfect health, praying can occasionally provide a small health boost.
Step 3: Go to the Gym 10+ Times After Age 18
This task is one of the most straightforward. Once your character turns 18, navigate to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym to begin your workout routine. Since going to the gym costs money, it’s a good idea to get a job to cover the expenses. You don’t need to complete all 10 visits in a short period—just make sure you hit the gym enough times before aging out or completing the challenge. Additionally, each time you go to the gym, there’s a chance you’ll receive a date offer. Accepting these can help you fulfill the “marry someone from the gym” requirement.
Step 4: Strangle 5+ Enemies to Death

This part of the challenge involves eliminating five enemies by strangling them. To begin, you’ll need to have at least five enemies. These can appear naturally over time, or you can manually create them by navigating to your relationship tab, selecting a friend, and choosing the option to become enemies.
Once you have a list of enemies, go to Activities > Crime > Murder. Select an enemy and choose the “Strangle Them” method. If the strangling option isn’t available, close and reopen the menu to refresh the list. Repeat this process until you’ve successfully strangled five enemies. It’s recommended to complete this task last, as getting caught and sent to jail could interfere with completing other objectives, especially the marriage requirement.
Step 5: Marry Someone You Met at the Gym

If you haven’t already met someone at the gym, you can trigger a potential date by going to Activities > Love > Date. A pop-up will appear showing how you met the person. If it states you met at the gym, accept the date. From there, focus on improving your relationship through regular interactions, gifts, and romantic activities until your partner accepts your proposal and agrees to the wedding plans.
Conclusion
Completing the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife* is a rewarding experience that tests your ability to manage health, build relationships, and handle crime efficiently. While having the Crime Special Talent or the Assassin’s Blade can make things easier, they are not required. With the right strategy and a bit of patience, you can complete this challenge successfully and move on to the next one in no time.
