How to Start The Lion’s Crest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Upon completing the tutorial section in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and gaining access to the open world, head to Troskowitz to speak with the scribe Gaibl. He will initiate 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 materials yourself, but you can craft the weapon at any blacksmith's forge.
The Lion’s Crest Riddle Solution
The riddle you receive from Gaibl 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.”
To solve this riddle, start by leaving Trosky Castle through its northern gates. Head north until you enter the forest.
Continue along the road, keeping an eye on the left side for rocky formations with small crevices. Navigate through these crevices to discover a cave containing a chapel. Examine the cross on the rock beside the chapel to uncover the first piece of Brunswick’s Armour and two treasure maps that will guide you further in the quest.
Map 1
Following the first treasure map, continue west along the road from the chapel until you 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. 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, then leave the settlement. Cross the two bridges towards Tachov, but after the second bridge, take 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 another piece of the armour.
Map 4
The fourth map takes you to a hill between the Nomads’ Camp and Bozhena’s Hut. On the hill, locate more rocks with a cross on top to find the final 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 detailed information on the game, including romance options and the best perks to unlock first, be sure to visit The Escapist.
