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," available to those who pre-ordered Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This quest rewards players with valuable armor pieces.

Starting the 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, but crafting can be done at the blacksmith's forge.

Solving the Riddle:

The riddle, which provides clues to the armor's location, 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 cryptic message directs you to leave Trosky Castle through the northern gates, heading north through the forest.

Locating the Armor Pieces:

The quest involves finding four pieces of Brunswick's armor, guided by treasure maps obtained at each stage.

Map 1:

Following the path from the chapel (found after passing through the rocky formations described in the riddle), continue west to a crossroads. Head north into the woods to locate a wolf den. The first armor piece is in a bag near the trees above the den.

Map 2:

This map leads to Vidlak Pond. Behind the fisherman's house, locate a large rock formation along the cliffs. A chest containing the second armor piece 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 towards the river and forest. Climb a hill; the armor is in a bag near a large tree at the summit.

Map 4:

The final map takes you to a hill between the Nomads’ Camp and Bozhena’s Hut. Look for rocks with a cross; the final armor piece is there.

By following these steps, you will successfully complete "The Lion's Crest" quest and obtain Brunswick's complete armor set. For additional game guides and information, including romance options and optimal perk selections, consult The Escapist.
