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.
Initiating The Lion's Crest
After completing the tutorial and gaining access to the open world, locate the scribe Gaibl in Troskowitz. He will present you with a riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick's polearm. Gather the necessary materials and craft the weapon at the blacksmith's forge.
Solving the Riddle and Locating the Armour
The riddle provided by Gaibl 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 riddle leads you to Trosky Castle. Exit through the northern gates and proceed north through the forest. Look for rocky formations with small crevices on the left side of the path. These lead to a cave containing a chapel. Examine the cross near the rock to find the first piece of Brunswick's armor and two treasure maps.
Treasure Map Locations
- Map 1: Follow the road west from the chapel to a crossroads. Head north into the woods to find a wolf den; the armor is in a bag 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. After the second bridge, take a small path to the river and forest. Follow this path to a hill; examine the large tree at the top for the armor.
- Map 4: This final map leads to a hill between the Nomads’ Camp and Bozhena’s Hut. Find rocks with a cross on top to obtain the last piece of Brunswick's armor.
This concludes the Lion's Crest quest. For additional Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 guides and information, including romance options and optimal perk selections, consult The Escapist.
