Tong Si Hung Dialogue Challenge

The dialogue challenge with Tong Si Hung occurs during the Hunting the Hacker mission in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Winning the challenge causes Tong to meet with Jensen in the back rooms of The Hive, unlocking the Darker Shades achievement. Losing the challenge means Tong will not meet with Jensen, forcing Jensen to spy on him instead.

The dialogue challenge can always be won by always picking Pinpoint unless Tong says one of the following lines:


 * "The only thing a guy like you get…"
 * "Now it’s time you were leaving…"

The remainder of this page will show all of Tong's possible responses and the result of picking each choice. Each response is identified by its first words. If Tong's persuasion level is 0 at the end of the conversation, he will ask Jensen to come back later. The conversation can then be tried again from the start.
