Unlock Brunswick's Famed Armor: A Guide to the Lion's Crest Quest

Unlocking and Completing The Lion's Crest Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

This guide details how to initiate and finish The Lion's Crest bonus quest 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 a riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick's polearm. Gather the necessary materials and craft the weapon at a blacksmith's forge.

Solving the Riddle and Locating the Armour:

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."

Exit Trosky Castle through the northern gates. Head north, entering the forest. You'll find rocky formations with crevices. Pass through these to discover a cave containing a chapel. Examine the cross near the rock to obtain the first piece of Brunswick's Armour and two treasure maps.

Treasure Map Locations:

• Map 1: Continue west on the road from the chapel to a crossroads. Head north into the woods to a wolf den; the armour is in a bag near the trees above.

• Map 2: This map leads to Vidlak Pond. Behind the fisherman's house, find a large rock formation along the cliffs. A chest containing armour is near a cross atop the rocks.

• Map 3: Fast travel to Zhelejov. Leave the tavern and cross two bridges towards Tachov. A small path near the second bridge leads to the river and forest. Follow it to a hill; examine the large tree for bones and a bag containing armour.

• Map 4: This map directs you to a hill between the Nomads’ Camp and Bozhena’s Hut. Rocks with a cross on top hold the final piece of Brunswick's armour.

Completion:

After collecting all four pieces of Brunswick's Armour, The Lion's Crest quest is complete. Refer to The Escapist for additional game tips, including romance options and perk strategies.
