"**Saint's Seven**" is the first mission of the The Ronin story arc in *Saints Row 2*.

*Poseidon's Palace robbed, shrimp night cancelled*— Stilwater Gazette newspaper headline

## Overview

Pierce meets Playa and Johnny Gat at the Saints Hideout and presents his complicated plan to heist Poseidon's Palace, which is owned by The Ronin. However, Gat and Playa decide it would be easier to simply "walk into the casino [and] just shoot all the motherfuckers that are between [them] and the money".

After killing several of The Ronin, and blowing open the safe and getting the money, the duo escape in a Mule and head back to Aisha's house, where they plan to clean the money. At a hotel, The Ronin's leader, Shogo Akuji, assures his second-in-command, Jyunichi, that his father won't find out about the casino and that there is no need to worry.

### Story

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

Poseidon's Palace was the scene of a deadly robbery today as Johnny Gat and the leader of the Third Street Saints stormed the casino. The pair apparently blasted their way to the back of the casino, and then set explosives to crack the casino safes. The Saints then escaped the casino under a hail of gunfire before somehow eluding police.
## Gameplay

Head to the casino
Head to Poseidon's Palace with Johnny Gat.

Take out the Ronin
HUD: Guards Killed X/15
Kill the fifteen Ronin gang members already standing guard inside.

Guard Gat while he rigs the doors with explosives
After the last of them has been killed, Gat heads to the back of the ground floor to plant explosives on the safes' doors; the player must protect him as he does so. Enemies constantly spawn from the sides of the casino as Gat plants the explosives and shoot at both Gat and the player. It is much easier to stay on the same floor to protect Gat and use the cover of the slot machines and columns, rather than heading upstairs, as there is little protection above.

Once Gat is finished, quickly put some distance between Playa and the safes before the explosives detonate, as they have a fairly large explosive radius.

Get the loot back to Aisha's house
A Mule then pulls up outside, and the player must to drive it back to Aisha's house with one unit of Ronin Notoriety and two units of police Notoriety. After Suburbs District is reached, the player gets 2 units of Ronin Notoriety instead of one. Aisha's house is only a short distance away and the drive should not pose any significant difficulties.

## Newscast

**Jane Valderamma**: "*It was the god Posideon[sic]  who watched over sailors setting forth from Greece, ensuring their safety. Sadly, the Grecian diety was unable to extend this same protection to his Texas Hold 'Em tables. While details remain sketchy at best, early reports have said Troy Bradshaw is handling the investigation personally. More on this daring robbery as the story unfolds. I'm Jane Valderamma, channel 6 news.*"

## Trivia

* This mission is named after the films *Ocean's Eleven*, *Ocean's Twelve* and *Ocean's Thirteen*, where the main characters pull off complicated heists using eleven, twelve and thirteen people in their scheme. There are not seven people involved in this mission.
* When Pierce is going through his complicated plan with Playa and Johnny Gat, he has four figures which are based on himself, Gat, a security guard, and Playa. Unlike the other figures, however, Playa's piece is a simple pawn chess piece, most likely due to Playa having a customizable appearance.
	+ In *Saints Row: The Third*, Pierce plays chess against Oleg Kirrlov in three missions.
	+ After completing this mission, civilians sometimes say "You think you could share some of that casino money?".
* There is one unit of Ronin Notoriety given after the start of the mission which starts to decay after a while.
* It is not possible to open the Mule's rear doors. Even if the truck is destroyed, its doors do not fall off.
* The original overly complicated plan is very similar to the casino heist in *Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas* and is possibly meant to parody it.
* Gat has a 1 in 101 chance of wearing his bloodstained shirt.

### "Keeping It Simple" cutscene

**Playa**: "*eh...*"
**Playa**: "*What's up with the doll house?*"
**Pierce**: "*Doll house my ass, this is how we gonna fuck up the Ronin.*"
**Playa**: "*This'll be good...*"
**Pierce**: "*Trust me, it is.*"
**Pierce**: "*The Ronin have a stake in Poseidon's Palace, so I figure hitting their biggest money maker is a good way to show 'em we not fuckin' around.*"
**Playa**: "*OK, so what's the plan?*"
**Pierce**: "*You and I enter the casino here...once inside we need to distract this security guard, I was thinking you could catch me cheating, or some shit like that. Anyway, while the guard's concerned with throwing me out, Gat'll sneak in through this security door...don't worry, I already got today's passcode from the blackjack dealer Shaundi's fucking. Now, once inside, Gat'll have to sneak past the guards to cut the power....when that happens we only have about 45 seconds before the backup generator turns on. During the blackout, though-*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Hold up man...I mean, I love the dream house you built here and everything. But what if we just start here...walk into the casino, and just shoot all the motherfuckers that are between us and the money?*"
**Pierce**: "*Well, ya know-*"
**Playa**: "*It would be a lot faster...*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*And a lot more fun.*"
**Pierce**: "*Yeah, but...*"
