"Showdown" is the eleventh and final mission of The Brotherhood story arc in Saints Row 2.

Ultor arena holds bloodbath

— Ultor Times newspaper headline

Overview

With Maero having lost so much to the 3rd Street Saints, he calls The Protagonist for a final showdown at the Ultor Dome. The Protagonist shows up, eager to finish The Brotherhood, but it quickly transpires that Maero has not come alone.

The Protagonist defends against the onslaught of desperate gang members and guns them all down. Maero attempts to run The Protagonist over in his Atlasbreaker monster truck but is stopped. As Maero struggles to climb out of the wreckage of his vehicle, The Protagonist hits him a few times and, aiming a gun at his head, executes him.

Story

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

The gang known as the Brotherhood of Stilwater came to an[sic] bloody end today, as its leader Maero was found dead in the Ultor Arena. No eye-witnesses were left alive, but reports from around the neighborhood suggest a person matching the description of the leader of the Saints was seen entering the Arena shortly before the presumed time of Maero's death. Calls to the Philips[sic] Building regarding what occurred in their facility were not immediately returned.

Gameplay

The mission takes place in a small arena.

Kill Maero

Although there is only one objective to this mission, Maero avoids The Protagonist until most of The Brotherhood members are killed, circling the sunken perimeter of the arena in his Atlasbreaker.

At the beginning of the mission, The Protagonist is behind a slab of concrete, out of view of The Brotherhood. There are several RPG Launchers located around the center of the arena.

In addition to Maero in his Atlasbreaker, there are three Compensators, two Legions, two Alaskans, and a Swindle. The Brotherhood members can be killed by destroying the vehicles with RPGs, or by shooting the drivers, which forces the passengers to leave the vehicle.

After most of the enemies are killed, Maero becomes more aggressive and attempts to run over The Protagonist.

Trivia

The Ultor Times newspaper clipping from the completion screen and Newspaper Clipboard.

• This mission takes place inside the Ultor Dome, which is used as the location for the Demolition Derby Activity in Saints Row.
• This is the only time Maero drives his Atlasbreaker outside of a cutscene; he used it during the second cutscene of "Bank Error in Your Favor", "Proportional Response", where he accidentally killed his girlfriend Jessica.
• Maero's death is reminiscent of Warren Williams' death at the hands of Tanya Winters in Saints Row; both are defeated in their vehicles and both are executed outside the wreckage of their vehicles.
• Maero doesn't wear his shirt in this mission during cutscenes but he wears it during gameplay.
• There is no alternate dialogue for The Protagonist's voices in this mission.
