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

Once you've completed the tutorial section of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and you're free to explore the open world, head over to Troskowitz and speak with the scribe Gaibl. He'll kick off The Lion’s Crest quest by providing you with a riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick’s polearm. You'll need to gather the necessary materials and craft the weapon at a blacksmith's forge.

The Lion’s Crest Riddle Solution

Here's the riddle you need to solve:

“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 start, locate the Crone Tower and Maiden Tower at Trosky Castle. Exit through the northern gates and head north into the forest.

Follow the road and keep an eye on the left side. You'll soon see rocky formations with crevices you can walk through. Enter these, and you'll find a cave with a chapel inside. Examine the cross on the rock next to the chapel to find the first piece of Brunswick’s Armour, along with two treasure maps to help you continue the quest.

Map 1

Continue following the road west from the chapel until you reach a crossroads. Head north into the woods to find a wolf den. Look for the trees just above the den; there, you'll 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 watch for a large rock formation along the cliffs. Climb up to the rocks to find a chest next to a cross.

Map 3

For the third map, fast travel to Zhelejov and head to the tavern before leaving the settlement. Cross the two bridges towards Tachov, but after the second bridge, look for 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 takes you to a hill between the Nomads’ Camp and Bozhena’s Hut. Look for rocks with a cross on top; there, you'll find the last piece of Brunswick’s armour.

And that’s how you start and complete The Lion’s Crest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more tips and information on the game, including romance options and the best perks to unlock first, be sure to visit The Escapist.
