Overview[]

At the Saints Hideout, Playa rallies the 3rd Street Saints as they prepare to launch a final assault on Maero at the Brotherhood hideout, using the weapons acquired from the long-awaited shipment that Playa seized previously.[1]

As the 3rd Street Saints and The Brotherhood fight against each other, Playa charges through the Brotherhood hideout and confronts a Mini-Gun-wielding Maero on the rooftop. A quick firefight leads to both of them falling through the roof to the ground floor, where a shocked Donnie and Matt run away. Both Playa and Maero struggle to get up, but the fight soon resumes with Playa gaining the upper hand. Just as Playa is about to kill Maero with a tattoo needle, Matt returns and uses his weight to pin Playa to the ground, sacrificing himself to give Maero enough time to run; Playa manages to grabs a brick and hits Matt in the head, knocking him unconscious, but throws it forcefully at Matt's face and kills him upon realizing that Maero has escaped in a Legion with Donnie.[2]

Story[]

Upon completion of the Mission, this description is available at Newspaper Clipboards.

Another tragic twist has unfolded in the saga of the Feed Dogs, as their former lead guitarist--and reknowned[sic] Brotherhood tattoo artist--Matt was killed today.The[sic] Third Street Saints assaulted the headquarters of the Brotherhood in what was the bloodiest battle yet between the rival gangs. The body count continues to skyrocket and officials are left scratching their heads as to when the violence will end.

The two Homies are both armed with K6 Krukovs, although neither of them are unique or need to stay alive.

Kill the Lieutenants to draw out Maero

Before entering the Brotherhood hideout, fight through ten lieutenants outside first. This can be surprisingly tricky as some come equipped with RPG Launchers. Using ranged weapons such as a McManus 2010 can be helpful for those unwilling to risk making a push, and ditching the two default Homies can help as they may be targets for the enemy.

Maero is in the warehouse, find a way in
Make your way to the roof

The rooftop can be accessed via the sixth floor. There are additional 3rd Street Saints members along the way up through the building - feel free to help them in gunning down The Brotherhood, or just kill those in the way and head up each staircase. The path forward is linear, but it is easy to get lost.

Kill Maero

Once on the rooftop, Maero stands on an inaccessible part of the roof wielding a Mini-Gun.

There are few places to take cover here, and the cover does not last long as it eventually falls to Maero's firepower. Run from one cover to the next repeatedly, shooting him until his health is depleted. Using the low wall in front of/beneath Maero for cover will cause him to throw Satchel Charges; use this opportunity to run back and avoid the explosives while pelting him with ammo until he falls.

Ultimately, once Maero seemingly falls, the mission ends.

Trivia[]

Newspaper bh10 The Siege

The Stilwater Gazette newspaper clipping from the completion screen and Newspaper Clipboard

  • After crossing the checkpoint in Poseidon Alley, Saints reinforcements begin assaulting the Brotherhood HQ in Standard variants of Nelsons, Nordbergs, Hollywoods and Kenshins, regardless of Gang Customization vehicle selection.
  • Playa says a line after killing their second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth lieutenants during the opening attack.
  • During the siege of the Brotherhood hideout, a 3rd Street Saints gang member can be heard stating their preference on taking down Donnie.
  • When on the rooftop, Maero comes equipped with both a Mini-Gun and Satchel Charges. He fires his Mini-Gun without reloading and only uses his explosives if Playa gets close.
  • It is possible to jump off the rooftop during the fight against Maero and survive (either by using a parachute or from suffering no fall damage unlocked after completing the Base Jumping Diversion). After doing this, one can head to the Airport Hangar; although Garages are disabled during missions, a Thompson helicopter can be found inside. By taking the helicopter back to Maero's location, it is possible to engage him in close quarters combat.
    • It is also possible to leave a helicopter on the rooftop in advance.
  • This is Donnie's final appearance in Saints Row 2.
  • "Rallying Cry" is also the name of the opening cutscene for the Saints Row mission, "Canonized".
  • Unlike any other enemies, Maero doesn't stop firing his Mini-Gun if Playa is out of his sight; he uses it even if Playa is far away from the warehouse.
  • If the mission is started with only one homie slot unlocked, the second homie stands idle at the starting location outside the Saints Hideout.
