How to Start The Lion’s Crest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
After completing the tutorial in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and gaining access to the open world, head to Troskowitz and speak with the scribe Gaibl to kick off The Lion’s Crest quest. Gaibl will provide you with a riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick’s polearm. You'll need to gather the materials on your own, but you can craft the weapon at any blacksmith’s forge.
The Lion’s Crest Riddle Solution
The riddle you receive from Gaibl goes like this:
“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 this riddle, start by leaving Trosky Castle through its northern gates. Head north into the forest.
Continue along the road and keep an eye out for rocky formations on the left side. You'll find crevices that you can pass through, leading you to a cave with a chapel. Examine the cross on the rock next to the chapel to discover the first piece of Brunswick’s Armour, along with two treasure maps to guide you further in the quest.
Map 1
Follow the road from the chapel westward until you reach a crossroads. From there, head north into the woods to find a wolf den. Look for trees just above the den; you'll find a bag containing the second piece of Brunswick’s armour.
Map 2
The second map leads to Vidlak Pond. Follow the path behind the fisherman’s house and look 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, head to the tavern, and leave the settlement. Cross the two bridges towards Tachov, but right after the second bridge, find a small path leading towards the river and the forest. Follow this path to a hill and examine the large tree on top to find some bones and a bag with the armour.
Map 4
The fourth and final map directs you to a hill between the Nomads’ Camp and Bozhena’s Hut. Look for rocks with a cross on top to 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 all romance options and the best perks to prioritize, be sure to check out The Escapist.
