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

Once you've completed the tutorial section in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and have the freedom to explore the open world, head to Troskowitz and speak with the scribe Gaibl. He'll introduce you to The Lion’s Crest quest by providing a riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick’s polearm. You'll need to gather the materials on your own, but you can craft this weapon at any blacksmith’s forge.

The Lion’s Crest Riddle Solution

The riddle you receive is a key part of the quest and 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.”

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

Continue along the road, keeping an eye on the left side for rocky formations with crevices. Navigate through these crevices to reach a cave with a chapel inside. Examine the cross on the rock beside the chapel to find the first piece of Brunswick’s Armour, along with two treasure maps to guide you further.

Map 1

Follow the road westward from the chapel to 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. Follow the path behind the fisherman’s house and look for a large rock formation along the cliffs. Ascend to the rocks to discover a chest next to a cross.

Map 3

For the third map, fast travel to Zhelejov and visit the tavern before leaving the settlement. After crossing two bridges towards Tachov, take a small path leading to the river and forest. Climb the hill you'll encounter and inspect the large tree at its peak to find some bones and a bag with the armour.

Map 4

The final map guides you to a hill between the Nomads’ Camp and Bozhena’s Hut. Search the hill for rocks topped with a cross to claim the last piece of Brunswick’s armour.
