This week's 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

1. Birth in Greece:

Create a new BitLife character, selecting Greece as your birthplace. While optional, the Crime Special Talent (from Job Packs) significantly aids the murder aspect.

2. 100% Health:

Maintaining perfect health requires proactive choices. Avoid risky behaviors like substance abuse and unprotected sex. Regularly engage in health-boosting activities: gym visits, walks, healthy diets, meditation, acupuncture, and prayer (for a quick boost). Seek medical treatment when needed.

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

Once you turn 18, frequently visit the gym (Activities > Mind and Body > Gym). Secure a job to fund these visits. Remember, you don't need 10 visits in a single year. Accept any date offers from gym encounters; this helps with the marriage objective.

4. Strangle 5+ Enemies:

You'll need enemies. Check your relationships; if lacking, create enemies by selecting a friend and choosing the "Become Enemies" option. Once you have enemies, initiate murder (Activities > Crime > Murder). Select an enemy and choose "Strangle Them." If this option isn't available, refresh the menu. Repeat until five enemies are eliminated. Ideally, complete this after other tasks to minimize jail time interference.

5. Marry a Gym Date:

If you haven't met someone at the gym, use (Activities > Love > Date). Accept any date originating from a gym encounter. Cultivate your relationship until marriage.

Congratulations! You've completed the Herc the Merc Challenge in BitLife. While helpful, special talents and items like the Assassin’s Blade aren't necessary for success.
