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

Unlock 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 those who pre-ordered Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This quest rewards players with valuable items.

Starting The Lion's Crest:

After 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."

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

Follow the path, watching for rocky formations on your left. You'll 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 Treasure:

The maps guide you to the remaining armor pieces:

Map 1: Continue west on the road from the chapel to a crossroads. Head north into the woods to find 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, 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. On a hill, examine a large tree to find bones and a bag containing armor.

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 armor piece is there.
