Improving on the first game in every conceivable way, Saints Row 2 was an absolute blast to play as it doubled down on the zany antics of the original while weaving a gripping plot that had some genuinely hard-hitting moments.

After completing the campaign by reclaiming Stillwater from the rival gangs that took over in the Saints’ absence, though, most players were left with some huge questions. Specifically, what happened to former gang leader Julius.

It is possible to get closure by heading to the police station where players can find recorded conversations between gang-mate-turned-cop Troy and Julius. Through listening to them, it’s revealed that the latter was the one who planted the bomb at the end of the first game that put the protagonist in a coma.

Listen to all three recordings then call Dex’s number after collecting it to unlock the secret mission Revelations. Here, players team-up with Julius for one last time to defend the Saints' former hideout from hordes of enemies before.  When the dust has cleared, players finally get retribution for Julius's betrayal.

With only a handful of throwaway lines about paying Troy a visit at the police station being players’ only clue that this mission even existed, there's a high chance that many missed this hidden mission.
