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 gaining access to the open world, locate the scribe Gaibl in Troskowitz. He will provide you with a riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick's polearm. Gather the necessary materials and craft the weapon 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."

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

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

Locating the Treasure:

Each map directs you to a different location:

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.

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

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

Map 4: The final map leads to a hill between the Nomads' Camp and Bozhena's Hut. Look for rocks with a cross; the final piece of Brunswick's armor is there.
