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," available to players who pre-ordered Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This quest rewards players with valuable items.

Starting the Lion's Crest Quest:

Upon completing the tutorial and gaining access to the open world, locate the scribe Gaibl in Troskowitz. He will provide you with a cryptic 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."

The riddle's solution involves navigating the terrain north of Trosky Castle, following a specific path through the forest.

Locating Brunswick's Armor:

The quest involves finding four pieces of Brunswick's armor, guided by treasure maps obtained after solving the riddle.

Map 1: Following the path from the chapel (the first location revealed by the riddle), head west to a crossroads, then north into the woods to a wolf den. The armor piece is located in a bag near the trees above the den.

Map 2: Travel to the small outpost at Vidlak Pond. Behind the fisherman's house, locate a large rock formation along the cliffs. A chest containing the armor piece 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, find a small path leading 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 last armor piece is there.

By following these steps, you can successfully complete "The Lion's Crest" quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For additional game tips and information, including romance options and optimal perk selections, consult The Escapist.
