Second Round of the Family Hierarch Evaluation is the stage 8-20 Story Dungeon for Canto VIII: The Surrendered Witnessing. It takes places within the dilapidated structure of a Former H Corp. structure once owned by the Kong Family.

Hong Lu is required to participate in several combat encounters throughout the Dungeon.

At the start of the Dungeon, the chosen Hong Lu Identity and all equipped E.G.O will be raised to Identity Level 55 and Uptie/Threadspin Level 4 via the Artifact The Memory of Kong Family Annihilation

The Memory of Kong Family Annihilation Hong Lu's level rises to 55 Hong Lu's Uptie and Threadspin Tiers rise to Tier 4 'Remember the day ruin came to the Kong family, who have brought this destruction upon themselves through their grave transgressions. To violate the laws of Hongyuan is no tragedy—as such, it warrants no pity, only humiliation and scorn. This site of history stands as a monument to the inevitability of karma.'

. If the selected Hong Lu Identity and E.G.O are above Level 55 and Uptie/Threadspin 4, they will maintain their levels. At various points of the Dungeon, Coin

Coin Hong Lu deals +0.5% damage for every Coin Artifacts used for the second round of the Family Hierarch Evaluation. Candidates without any remaining coins, either lost or taken by force, will be immediately eliminated.

can be obtained, with more of them giving a higher increase to Hong Lu's damage. The Dungeon is centered around accumulating these Coin Artifacts. Three Coins are initially given to the Sinners at the start of the Dungeon, and more can be obtained by defeating enemies, making certain choices in events and through progressing through the Dungeon. Certain checkpoint will render previously traversed part of the dungeon inaccessible for the remainder of the dungeon, thus it is important to traverse any possible map before proceeding.

Notably, all of the bosses, save for the final boss, have a unique passive: should they be defeated, the battle will end regardless of how many enemies are left on the field. Thus, it is imperative to focus on the boss themselves whilst maintain counters against the other enemies' attack to ensure a swift victory.

Rental System

In addition to Support Identities from friends, the following Rental Identities are also available with the following E.G.O equipped:
