How to Get Brunswick’s Armour in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (Lion’s Crest Quest Guide)

Unlocking the Secrets of the Lion's Crest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

This guide details how to initiate and complete the bonus quest, "The Lion's Crest," available to players who pre-ordered Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This quest rewards players with valuable items.

Starting the Lion's Crest Quest

Once you've finished the tutorial and gained access to the open world, locate the scribe Gaibl in Troskowitz. He will provide you with a cryptic riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick's polearm. You'll need to gather the necessary materials yourself, but crafting can be done at the blacksmith's forge.

Deciphering the Riddle

The riddle reads:

"Take your leave of crone and maiden, standing tall behind the gates, boldly go towards true midnight, in caverns cold your prize awaits. Pass through the hall of forest kings, hidden deep from hunters’ gaze, standing tall two guards of stone, behind who yearned for treasure lays. Between then stands a mighty rock, a subtle niche yet deeper still, a place to give one’s heart to God, behold my armour gleaming still."

This leads you to Trosky Castle. Exit through the northern gates and head north, entering the forest.

Follow the path, watching the left side. You'll find rocky formations with crevices. Traverse these to discover a cave containing a chapel. Examine the cross near the rock to find the first piece of Brunswick's armor and two treasure maps.

Locating the Remaining Armor Pieces (Using the Maps)

• Map 1: Continue west on the road from the chapel to a crossroads. Head north into the woods to a wolf den. Search the trees above the den for a bag containing the second armor piece.

• Map 2: Travel to the outpost at Vidlak Pond. Behind the fisherman's house, find a large rock formation along the cliffs. A chest near a cross holds the next piece.

• Map 3: Fast travel to Zhelejov. Leave the tavern and cross two bridges towards Tachov. After the second bridge, find a path leading to the river and forest. Follow it to a hill; examine the large tree at the top to find bones and a bag with armor.

• Map 4: Travel to the hill between the Nomads’ Camp and Bozhena’s Hut. Locate rocks with a cross; the final armor piece is nearby.
