Embarking on the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife* involves a mix of fitness and darker deeds. Whether you're equipped with the Assassin’s Blade or not, you can still conquer this challenge. Here's your step-by-step guide to completing the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife*.
This week’s tasks are:
Begin your challenge by creating a custom life in Greece. While setting up your character, consider selecting the Crime Special Talent from the Job Packs if available. This will enhance your ability to execute the murder tasks later in the challenge.
Maintaining peak health in *BitLife* involves avoiding detrimental activities like drinking, drug use, and unprotected sex. Focus on health-boosting actions such as regular gym visits, walks, medical treatments, a healthy diet, meditation, and alternative therapies like acupuncture. If needed, a prayer can also boost your health.
This task is straightforward. Once you reach 18, head to Activities > Mind and Body > Gym. Remember, gym visits cost money, so secure a job to fund your fitness journey. You don't need to complete all visits in one year, just ensure you reach the 10+ visits. Plus, this is your chance to meet potential partners, which ties into your next task of marrying someone from the gym.

To complete this task, you'll need enemies. Check your relationships to see if you have any, or deliberately turn a friend into an enemy via the relationship tab. Navigate to Activities > Crime > Murder, select an enemy, and choose "Strangle Them." If this option isn't available, refresh the list by closing and reopening the window. Repeat until you've eliminated at least five enemies. It's advisable to tackle this task last, as jail time can hinder progress on other tasks.

If you haven't already met someone at the gym, go to Activities > Love > Date. Look for a date encounter that mentions meeting at the gym, and accept it. Build your relationship with this person until they agree to your proposal and wedding plans.
With these steps, you'll successfully complete the Herc the Merc Challenge in *BitLife*. While tools like the Assassin’s Blade and Special Talents can be advantageous, they're not necessary to finish this challenge.
