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

Unlocking the Lion's Crest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: A Comprehensive Guide

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.

Initiating The Lion's Crest:

Upon completing the tutorial and accessing the open world, locate the scribe Gaibl in Troskowitz. He will provide you with a riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick's polearm. You must gather the necessary materials yourself; crafting occurs at the 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."

The solution involves leaving Trosky Castle via the northern gates, heading north through the forest, and locating 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: Follow the road west 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.

• 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.

• Map 3: Fast travel to Zhelejov, leave the tavern, cross two bridges towards Tachov. Take a small path to the river and forest; climb a hill to find a large tree containing armor.

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

This completes "The Lion's Crest." For additional Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 guides and information (including romance options and recommended perks), consult The Escapist.
