Unlocking and Completing The Lion's Crest Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Pre-ordering Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 grants access to a rewarding bonus quest: The Lion's Crest. This guide details how to initiate and finish this quest, acquiring valuable rewards.
Quest Initiation:
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. Gather the necessary materials and craft the weapon at a blacksmith's forge.
Solving the Riddle:
The riddle 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 leads you to Trosky Castle. Exit through the northern gates and head north, entering the forest.
Follow the path, watching the left side. You'll find rocky formations with crevices. Traverse these to discover a cave containing a chapel. Examine the cross near the rock to find the first piece of Brunswick's armor and two treasure maps.
Treasure Map Locations:
Map 1:
Continue along the road from the chapel westward to a crossroads. Head north into the woods to find a wolf den. The second armor piece is in a bag near the trees above the den.
Map 2:
This map directs you to Vidlak Pond. Behind the fisherman's house, locate a large rock formation on the cliffs. A chest containing armor is near a cross atop the rocks.
Map 3:
Fast travel to Zhelejov. Exit the tavern and cross the two bridges towards Tachov. After the second bridge, take a small path leading to the river and forest. Follow this path to a hill; examine the large tree at the summit to find bones and a bag containing armor.
Map 4:
The final map leads to a hill between the Nomads' Camp and Bozhena's Hut. Locate rocks with a cross on top to find the last piece of Brunswick's armor.
