Lion's Crest: Armour of Brunswick Unveiled

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 rewards players with valuable items.

Starting the Quest:

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. You'll need to gather the necessary materials yourself, then craft the weapon at a blacksmith's forge.

Solving 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 cryptic message leads you on a treasure hunt. Exit Trosky Castle through the northern gates, heading north through the forest.

Following the path, you'll discover rocky formations with crevices. Traverse these to find a cave containing a chapel. Examine the cross near the rock to uncover the first piece of Brunswick's Armor and two treasure maps.

Locating the Armor Pieces (using the maps):

• Map 1: Continue west along 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 outpost at Vidlak Pond. Behind the fisherman's house, locate a large rock formation on the cliffs. A chest containing armor rests near a cross.

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

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

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