Find Brunswick's Armour in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (Guide)

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 players who pre-ordered Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This quest rewards players with valuable items.

Starting the Lion's Crest Quest:

After 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. You'll need to gather the necessary materials yourself, then craft the weapon at a blacksmith's forge.

Deciphering 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 cryptic message guides you to several locations:

1. Exit Trosky Castle: Leave the castle via the northern gates, passing the Crone and Maiden towers.
2. Journey North: Head north through the forest.
3. The Chapel: Locate a cave containing a chapel. Examine the cross near the rock to find the first piece of Brunswick's armor and two treasure maps.

Locating the Armor Pieces using the Treasure Maps:

The quest involves finding four pieces of Brunswick's armor, each revealed through a map:

• Map 1: Follow the path west from the chapel to a crossroads. Proceed north into the woods to a wolf den; the armor is near the trees above.

• Map 2: Travel to Vidlak Pond. Behind the fisherman's house, find a large rock formation along the cliffs; a chest containing armor is near a cross.

• Map 3: Fast travel to Zhelejov. Exit the town, cross two bridges towards Tachov. Take a small path leading to the river and forest. Find a hill with a large tree; the armor is near the tree.

• Map 4: Travel to the hill between the Nomads' Camp and Bozhena's Hut. Locate rocks with a cross; the final armor piece is nearby.

Completing these steps will allow you to finish "The Lion's Crest" quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more game guides and information, check out The Escapist.
