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

Once you've navigated through the tutorial section of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and entered the open world, your next step is to find the scribe Gaibl in Troskowitz. He will set you on the path to The Lion’s Crest by providing 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 is a poetic guide to your quest:

“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 begin, head to Trosky Castle where you'll find the Crone Tower and Maiden Tower. Exit the castle through the northern gates and continue north into the forest.

Follow the road and keep an eye on the left side for rocky formations with small crevices. Navigate through these crevices to reach a cave that contains a chapel. Inspect 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.

Continue along the road from the chapel, heading west until you reach a crossroads. From there, venture 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.

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 find a chest next to a cross, holding another piece of the armour.

For the third map, fast travel to Zhelejov and head to the tavern. After leaving the settlement, cross two bridges towards Tachov. Just after the second bridge, take a small path leading towards the river and forest. Follow this path to a hill and inspect the large tree at the top to find bones and a bag with the armour.

The final map will lead you to a hill between the Nomads’ Camp and Bozhena’s Hut. On the hill, look for rocks topped with a cross. Here, you'll find the last piece of Brunswick’s armour.
