"All The King's Men" is the eleventh and final mission of the Vice Kings story arc in Saints Row.

Johnny Gat: "I'm gonna skull fuck that bitch."
Playa: "Hope you don't mind hepatitis."
Johnny Gat: "Wha?"
Johnny Gat and Playa, in the elevator.

Overview[]

At the church, Johnny Gat explains to Playa that, according to Benjamin King, Tanya's takeover of the Vice Kings didn't go as smoothly as planned; the Vice Kings are fighting amongst themselves, and Gat believes now is the perfect time to finish them off. Gat expresses doubts over King being able to finish off his own crew, but King enters and assures them both that he will do what he must.[2]

Before heading for Tanya at King's Penthouse, they must first get the codes to the elevator. To do this, they pay a visit to Tanya's fashion consultant and close friend, Stefan, and dangle him out of the car's window from his legs, while at high speeds, until he breaks.

Now that they know the codes, Gat, King, and Playa storm King's Penthouse and, after fighting through the last remnants of present Vice Kings and Tanya's fellow prostitutes, confront Tanya in King's old office. She stands up and brandishes a K6 Krukov, but before she can even take aim the three shoot her out of the window. She manages to grip the bottom edge of the window and attempts to beg for her life, but King tells her to die with some dignity and steps on her hand, sending her plummeting into his Mag, killing her. Outside, Gat takes his leave, planning to meet Aisha, and King thanks Playa for all their help. He gives Playa the keys to the penthouse and takes leave himself.[3][4]

Story[]

Upon completion of the Mission, this description is available on the 'Story' page, accessed from the 'INFO' tab of the pause menu.

Tanya Winters was now in charge of the Vice Kings, and had taken over their headquarters. King suspected that the access codes to the penthouse offices had been changed, but he knew who he could get them from. You drove him to Impressions to have a "chat" with Stefan, the owner. After terrorizing him into giving up the codes, King, Johnny, and you went to confront Tanya. Working your way through the lobby, up the elevator, and through the penthouse the three of you confronted Tanya and her personal escort of gun toting hos. After a fierce fight, King put an end to Tanya, himself, leaving the Vice Kings nothing but a memory. As a thank you, King gave you the keys to the penthouse for your personal use.

Gameplay[]

All the King's Men - Stefan HUD

The Vice Kings finale can only be played upon completion of the previous mission, "The King and I", and all related Strongholds: "Sunnyvale Loft", "Filmore Parking Garage", "Abandoned Police Station", "King's Grocery", and "Waterfront Rooftop".

Take King's car.[5]

King's Mag is parked beside the church, with King already inside, in the rear left seat. Gat runs up to the car, gets in the front right seat, then immediately gets out if Playa is not yet in the vehicle. Get gets out any time Playa does, but King never leaves the vehicle, even if on fire.

Head to Impressions.[6]

Go to Impressions in the Nob Hill neighborhood.

Drive fast to scare Stefan.[7]

Drive around while Benjamin King holds Stefan out the window from his legs. There are two meters: one for Stefan's fear, and one for his health. By driving as fast as possible, Stefan's fear will increase, but collisions will decrease his health.

Drive around Downtown while the Notoriety increases, avoiding hostile Five-Os and Peacekeepers. Using Forgive and Forget temporarily removes Notoriety.

Eventually, Stefan will give up the codes and King lets go of him.

Head to the Vice Kings' penthouse.

Drive to King's Penthouse.

Upon entering the parking lot, dialogue about reaching the penthouse is played. If the Mag is exited in the Penthouse parking lot, both Gat and King exit the vehicle.

When driving into the marker, the marker disappears and the doors to the Penthouse open. Sometimes, driving out of the marker causes the marker to re-appear and the doors to close, and the only way to keep the doors open is to exit the Mag while parked in the marker.

Find the elevator and proceed to the penthouse.

This objective does not appear until after entering the building.

Work through the lobby slowly and stick with King and Gat; the elevator is to the right on the second floor.

Find Tanya and kill her.

After the elevator takes them upwards, fight through the last of the Vice Kings and some prostitutes. The fighting here is very close quarters, and the hos in particular like to hide in the office cubicles, so don't underestimate anyone.

Tanya is inside King's office, accessible through the cubicles behind the spiral staircase, there are more enemies upstairs, but it is a dead end.

Success

After reaching Tanya, a cutscene plays and the mission ends, and the Vice Kings story arc is complete. The Saints take over the Adept Way neighborhood, Playa gets a new Crib, and an assortment of Vice Kings-themed unique vehicles.

If all three story arcs are complete, the "Battlefield Promotion" cutscene plays, and the next mission is "Stuffing the Ballot".

Failure

The mission can be failed by getting smoked[8] or busted, abandoning Gat[9], Gat dying[10], abandoning King[11], King dying[12], destroying King's car,[13] or killing Stefan before he gives the codes.[14]

Rewards[]

"Return of the King" cutscene[]

Johnny Gat: "I've been chattin' with King, and it looks like Tanya's takeover didn't sit well with everybody. The Vice Kings are fighting amongst themselves; now's the time to take 'em out for good. King said he was gonna come along, I hope he hasn't gone soft."
Benjamin King: "Don't ever worry 'bout me, baby-boy, cause I'm gonna handle mine."
Johnny Gat: "All I'm sayin' is that since you got here you've been nothin' but talk."
Benjamin King: "I've smoked dozens of fools before. I ain't addin' to the count unless I have to."
Johnny Gat: "That's just fuckin' great."
Benjamin King: "I said don't worry about it."
Johnny Gat: "I don't want you bitchin' out when you see your crew."
Benjamin King: "Ain't my crew, son. That's why I'm here, remember? So how 'bout you put your dick away, pick up your gun, and try to keep your knee away from the bullets."
