Reclamation

Template:Infobox mission "Reclamation" is the third mission in Saints Row.

I got a tip that there's a turf war going on right now. If we crash their party, we can take all those sons of bitches out at once.

— Troy, at the start of the mission.

Overview

Julius Little is finally ready to clear out the Row for good, and, along with Troy, meets The Protagonist outside the church. Troy says he's received a tip that all opposing gangs in Stilwater are fighting in Harrowgate right now, and concedes now would be the perfect oppurtunity to clear them out of Saint's Row permanently.

After killing all three gang lieutenants and escaping the police, the 3rd Street Saints regroup back at the church, where Julius gives yet another speech on wiping out all three opposing gangs. Lin is introduced to The Protagonist. Julius assigns Lin to handle the Westside Rollerz, Dex to handle the Carnales, and Johnny Gat to handle the Vice Kings. He then asks The Protagonist to help his fellow gang in taking down their enemies.^[1]

We did it, playa. Saint's Row is ours again. Don't think I'm finished with you yet, though. I'm holding a meeting at the church. Swing by when you can.

— Julius Little

Story

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

After a phone call from Julius, you picked him and Troy up and drove them to the docks in Saint's Row, where a turf war between the Vice Kings, Los Carnales, and the Westside Rollerz was taking place. The three of you dropped all the rival gang members and secured 3rd Street's control over Saint's Row.

Gameplay

Gameplay from the mission.

This mission takes place after "Back to Basics", and becomes available after earning Respect by playing Activities and completing the "Abandoned Storefront" Stronghold. Once "Abandoned Storefront" has been completed, Julius calls The Protagonist and tells him to head to the church to begin the mission.

Wait for Troy and Julius.

Troy and Julius come running out of the Church. They automatically become Homies upon reaching the church parking spot, even if The Protagonist has already left the area.

If they are shot enough before they become Homies, they become hostile. The mission does not fail, but it becomes impossible to complete the mission, as it is not possible to complete the final objective of dropping them off at the church.
- Using this method, it is possible to kill either of them.
- It is possible to complete the mission using this method only if only one becomes hostile.
- It is possible to instantly kill them using an RPG Launcher or Platinum Rocket Launcher before they become Homies or hostile towards the player.
- If they do become hostile, they cannot die from fists or melee weapons, including striking them using weapons.

There is a randomly coloured Aqua parked in front of Brown Baggers, and remains there for the entire mission if not used. If the mission is completed or cancelled, it disappears, even while driving it.

Take Troy and Julius with you to the docks.

Proceed to the marked destination.

The mission can be completed quickly by staying inside a vehicle throughout the mission.

If the docks are entered without passing through the waypoint, there are only gang members present in the western end, although there is a Vice Kings Zomkah parked inside the east gate.

Kill the three gang lieutenants.

The scripted event involving a burning vehicle and an Aqua causing it to explode.

There are three gang lieutenants to kill: one Los Carnales gang member, one Vice Kings gang member, and one Westside Rollerz gang member. The gangs are fighting amongst themselves, along with a lot of normal gang members, as well as the 3rd Street Saints.

The enemy gang members are placed all around the dock area, with lots of cover available. Although there is a clearly intended order to the mission, it is possible to kill the lieutenants in any order.

There are two Westside Rollerz Mockingbirds parked in the first area, a Los Carnales La Fuerzas in the second area, and two Vice Kings Zomkahs in the third area.

Approaching the area with the Los Carnales lieutenant from the west triggers a Los Carnales La Fuerza to drive through some boxes. If he is approached from the east, he just sits in the vehicle. The vehicle can be entered after killing the driver.

Approaching the area with the Vice Kings lieutenant from the west triggers a scripted sequence of a flaming Vice Kings' Zomkah being smashed into by a Westside Rollerz gang member driving an Aqua, causing both to explode. When entering the area from the road, or from the east, the Westside Rollerz gang member in the Aqua does not react, and can be killed, but the Aqua cannot be entered. When entering the area from the road, or from the east, the Zomkah is not on fire, and can be entered. Entering the trigger area while driving the Zomkah still causes it to start flaming and explode, and for the Aqua to drive to where the Zomkah was originally parked, at which point the Westside Rollerz gang member gets out. If the driver is killed before entering the trigger, the Aqua does not move. In any case, the Aqua cannot be entered.

On a ledge before the area with the Vice Kings lieutenant is a Saints gang member with a RPG Launcher, but it cannot be picked up.

Get into a 4-door car.

Once the 3 lieutenants have been killed, the police show up.

Nearby options include a Five-O or a parked Vice Kings Zomkah, but any 4-door car will do.

This objective is skipped when already driving a 4-door car, and can also be completed by leaving the immediate area.

Lose the cops!

The cops are commin' man, we gotta lose 'em...

— Troy, "Lose the cops!" objective

This is easier than it sounds; simply killing the cops is usually enough to complete this. If it isn't drive, or run, until they stop following.

It is also possible to use Forgive and Forget. It is not required in order to lose the police, although sometimes it is faster.

Drop Julius and Troy off at the church.

Alright, we lost 'em...Drop me and Julius off at the church...

— Troy, "Drop Julius and Troy off at the church." objective

Once the immediate threat of the police is over, head back to the church.

Success

Julius gives another speech to the gang. After the speech, the game significantly opens up, with the choice of taking down the Westside Rollerz (starting with "Stacking the Deck"), the Carnales (starting with "Crack Down"), and the Vice Kings (starting with "Aisha's Favor"). Each gang has their own story arc and missions, and they are taken down, Stilwater slowly comes under the control of the 3rd Street Saints, culminating with The Protagonist being promoted to second-in-command,^[2] and a final trio of closing missions, beginning with "Stuffing the Ballot".

Failure

The mission can be failed by getting smoked or busted, or abandoning^[3]^[4] or killing^[5]^[6] Troy and/or Julius.

Trivia

File:Reclamation Julius and Troy hostile 2.JPG

Julius and Troy hostile.

At the end of the mission Julius Little congratulates The Protagonist on completely taking back Saint's Row, and states to swing by whenever they can for a meeting, despite the fact that the meeting plays immediately after completing the mission.^[1]
- The "Divide and Conquer" cutscene at the church was to be part of a cutscene-only mission named "The Best Defense...", but was merged with Reclamation.
This is the first time Lin appears, the only 3rd Street Saints lieutenant not seen yet.
In the "Divide and Conquer" cutscene, Troy does not want to handle the Vice Kings. Although it is never expanded upon, Troy most likely does not want to fight the Vice Kings because they are colluding with the Stilwater Police Department, and Troy himself is an undercover cop.
The "Fuck you say?" line from the "Divide and Conquer" cutscene is repeated by The Protagonist in Saints Row 2.^[7]
In the game files, there is an extra objectives regarding going to the Liquor Store to buy some liquor.^[8]
The Saints Row demo ends upon completion of the mission, and the game exits to the main menu.
Johnny's "Lin?" line is attributed in the subtitles file as being said by "BM3SS2" instead of Johnny.

Julius Little: "It ain't gonna be settled until the Carnales, the Rollerz, and the Vice Kings ain't nothin' but a memory."
Julius Little: "Dex, you got the Carnales. Ever since they hooked up with the Colombians, it's like they own this town, and with that drug money rolling in, we can't compete. Be smart how you move against 'em. The Lopez family been runnin' that gang for thirty years. There's a reason they still around."
