Unlocking Brunswick's Armor: A Guide to 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 armor.

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 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.

Solving The Lion's Crest 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 riddle leads you on a treasure hunt across the game's map.

The Hunt for Brunswick's Armor:

The journey begins by exiting Trosky Castle through the northern gates. Proceed north, entering the forest.

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

Map 1: Continue west along the road to a crossroads. Head north into the woods to find a wolf den. The second armor piece is in a bag near the trees above the den.

Map 2: This map directs you to Vidlak Pond. Behind the fisherman's house, locate a large rock formation along the cliffs. A chest containing the next 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, take a small path leading to the river and forest. Ascend the hill; the armor is in a bag near a large tree at the summit.

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