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," in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, accessible only to pre-order customers. This quest offers substantial rewards.

Starting The Lion's Crest

Once you've finished the tutorial and gained access to the open world, locate the scribe Gaibl in Troskowitz. He'll present you with a riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick's polearm. You'll need to gather the necessary materials yourself, then craft the weapon at a 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 a forest.

Follow the road, watching the left side. You'll find rocky formations with crevices. Navigate 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 Treasure Maps

• Map 1: Continue west on the road from the chapel to a crossroads. Head north into the woods to a wolf den; the armor is in a bag near the trees above the den.

• Map 2: Travel to the Vidlak Pond outpost. Behind the fisherman's house, locate a large rock formation along the cliffs. A chest with armor is near a cross on the rocks.

• Map 3: Fast travel to Zhelejov, leave the tavern, and cross two bridges toward Tachov. After the second bridge, take a path to the river and forest. Follow it to a hill; examine the large tree for bones and a bag containing armor.

• Map 4: Travel to the hill between the Nomads' Camp and Bozhena's Hut. Find rocks with a cross; the final piece of Brunswick's armor is there.
