How to Start The Lion's Crest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Once you've navigated through the tutorial and stepped into the vast open world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, your first stop should be Troskowitz. Here, you'll find the scribe Gaibl who will initiate The Lion's Crest quest. He'll present you with a riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick's polearm. You'll need to gather the necessary materials on your own, but crafting the weapon at a blacksmith's forge will be a breeze.

The Lion's Crest Riddle Solution

The riddle you receive is both poetic and cryptic:

“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.”

To solve this, head to Trosky Castle where you'll find the Crone Tower and Maiden Tower. Exit through the northern gates and continue north into the forest.

Follow the road and keep an eye on the left side for rocky formations with crevices. Navigate through these, and you'll discover a cave with a chapel inside. Examine the cross on the rock next to the chapel to uncover the first piece of Brunswick's Armour, along with two treasure maps to guide you further.

Map 1

Continue along the road from the chapel, heading west until you reach a crossroads. Turn north into the woods to locate a wolf den. Search the trees just above the den to find a bag containing the second piece of Brunswick's armour.

Map 2

The second map directs you to Vidlak Pond's small outpost. Follow the path behind the fisherman's house and look for a large rock formation along the cliffs. Climb up to find a chest next to a cross.

Map 3

For the third map, fast travel to Zhelejov and head to the tavern, then leave the settlement. Cross the two bridges towards Tachov, but after the second bridge, take a small path leading to the river and forest. Follow this path to a hill and examine the large tree at the top to find bones and a bag with the armour.

Map 4

The final map leads you to a hill between the Nomads' Camp and Bozhena's Hut. Search for rocks with a cross on top to claim the last piece of Brunswick's armour.

And there you have it! That's how you start and complete The Lion's Crest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips, tricks, and in-depth guides on the game, including romance options and the best perks to prioritize, be sure to check out The Escapist.
