Unlock the Secrets of Brunswick's Armour in Kingdom Come

Unlocking and Completing The Lion's Crest Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

This guide details how to initiate and finish 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 Quest:

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

Solving the Riddle:

The riddle is as follows:

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

Follow the path, watching the left side for rocky formations with small 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 Armor Pieces using the Maps:

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

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

• Map 3: Fast travel to Zhelejov, leave the tavern, and cross two bridges towards Tachov. After the second bridge, take a small path leading to the river and forest. Climb a hill; the armor is in a bag near a large tree at the summit.

• Map 4: This final map directs you to a hill between the Nomads' Camp and Bozhena's Hut. Locate rocks with a cross on top to find the last piece of Brunswick's armor.

Completing these steps will allow you to finish "The Lion's Crest" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more game tips and information, including romance options and optimal perk selections, consult The Escapist.
