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

Unlocking Brunswick's Armor: A Guide to The Lion's Crest Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

This guide details how to initiate and complete the bonus quest, "The Lion's Crest," in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, accessible only to pre-order customers. This quest rewards players with valuable armor pieces.

Starting the Quest:

Upon 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. Gather the necessary materials and craft the weapon at a blacksmith's forge.

Solving 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 riddle leads you to Trosky Castle. Exit through the northern gates and proceed north through the 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 armor piece and two treasure maps.

Locating the Armor Pieces (Using the Maps):

• Map 1: Continue west on the road from the chapel to a crossroads. 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 Vidlak Pond outpost. Behind the fisherman's house, find a large rock formation along the cliffs. A chest containing armor rests 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 to the river and forest. Climb the hill; the armor is in a bag near a large tree at the 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.
