Kurapika knocks his opponent Majtani, a repeat fraudster and blackmailer who pretends to be a strong serial killer, unconscious. But because it was agreed that the match could only be won by forfeit or death, and Kurapika refuses to kill the man, it continues.

Although Gon's group won the best of five and can continue, they have less than 10 hours to finish their descent. They run through dozens of other traps, and pass the exam with less than a minute to spare. The twenty-four remaining examinees are ferried by boat to the fourth phase of the exam, Zevil Island, where they will spend one week and can only pass with six points; three points for retaining your own badge, three for obtaining the badge of your allotted target, and one point for any other badge.

In order to gather information on how to play Greed Island, Gon and Killua visit a nearby town. They are shocked by the death of another player that entered the game along with them, which was caused by a Nen ability.
