Challenge Tasks:
- Born in Greece
- 100% Health
- 10+ Gym Visits (after age 18)
- Strangle 5+ Enemies
- Marry Someone Met at the Gym
Be Born in Greece
Begin by creating a new life, selecting Greece as your birthplace. While character customization is up to you, the Crime Special Talent (from Job Packs) provides a significant advantage for later stages.
Maintain 100% Health
Maintaining perfect health requires a proactive approach. Avoid risky behaviors like substance abuse and unprotected sex. Instead, focus on health-boosting activities: regular gym visits, walks, seeking medical treatment when needed, healthy eating, meditation, and alternative therapies like acupuncture. Prayer can also provide a temporary health boost.
10+ Gym Visits (After Age 18)
This is the simplest task. After turning 18, regularly visit the gym (Activities > Mind and Body > Gym). Remember, consistent gym visits are key; you don’t need to reach this number in a single year. A job is recommended to fund these visits. Accept any date offers you receive at the gym – it aids in completing the marriage task.
Strangle 5+ Enemies

This requires creating enemies. You might acquire them naturally, but you can also intentionally create enemies via the Relationships tab. Once you have enemies, navigate to Activities > Crime > Murder, select an enemy, and choose “Strangle Them.” If this option isn't available, refresh the menu. Repeat until you’ve eliminated at least five enemies. It's advisable to tackle this task last, as imprisonment hinders progress on other tasks.
Marry Someone Met at the Gym

If you haven’t met a gym date, use Activities > Love > Date. The date encounter message will indicate where you met. Accept gym dates, cultivate the relationship, and propose when the time is right.
Congratulations! Completing these steps will allow you to successfully conquer the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife. While special talents and items like the Assassin’s Blade can help, they aren’t strictly necessary.
