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

Unlocking the Lion's Crest Bonus Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

This guide details how to initiate and complete the Lion's Crest bonus quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, accessible to players who pre-ordered the game. This quest offers substantial rewards.

Starting the Lion's Crest Quest:

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.

Solving the Lion's Crest Riddle:

The riddle is as follows:

"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 proceed north, entering the forest.

Locating the Armor Pieces using the Treasure Maps:

Map 1: Continue west along 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.
