Brunswick's Armour Unlocked in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

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

Starting The Lion's Crest:

Once you've finished the tutorial and gained 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, but crafting can be done at the 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 leaving Trosky Castle through the northern gates, heading north through the forest, and locating a specific cave containing a chapel.

Following the path north will lead you to rocky formations with crevices. Traverse these to find a cave housing the chapel. Examine the cross near the rock to obtain the first piece of Brunswick's Armor and two treasure maps.

Locating the Remaining Armor Pieces (via Treasure Maps):

The treasure maps guide you to the remaining armor pieces:

Map 1: Continue westward on the road from the chapel to a crossroads, then 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, 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. Take a small path leading to the river and forest after the second bridge. Follow this path to a hill; the armor is in a bag near a large tree at the hill's summit.

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

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