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

Once you've completed the tutorial section in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and are free to explore the open world, head to Troskowitz and have a chat with the scribe Gaibl. This conversation will kick off The Lion’s Crest quest. Gaibl will present 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 both poetic and cryptic:

“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 it, you must first locate the Crone Tower and Maiden Tower at Trosky Castle. Exit the castle through the northern gates and continue northwards into the forest.

As you follow the road, keep your eyes peeled on the left side for rocky formations with accessible crevices. Navigate through these, and you'll soon discover a cave housing a chapel. Inspect the cross on the rock beside the chapel to claim the first piece of Brunswick’s Armour, along with two treasure maps to further your quest.

Following the road that led you to the chapel, head west to the crossroads, then veer north into the woods. You'll find a wolf den; search the trees above it for a bag containing the second piece of Brunswick’s armour.

The second map guides you to Vidlak Pond's small outpost. Follow the path behind the fisherman’s house, keeping an eye out for a large rock formation along the cliffs. Climb up to find a chest next to a cross, which holds the next piece of the armour.

For the third map, fast travel to Zhelejov, head to the tavern, and then exit the settlement. Cross two bridges towards Tachov, but after the second bridge, take a small path towards the river and into the forest. Ascend the hill you find there and examine the large tree at its peak to uncover some bones and a bag with another piece of the armour.

The final map leads you to a hill between the Nomads’ Camp and Bozhena’s Hut. Search the rocks on the hilltop for a cross, where you'll find the last piece of Brunswick’s armour.
