Unlocking the Lion's Crest Bonus Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
This guide details how to initiate and complete the Lion's Crest bonus quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, accessible to players who pre-ordered the game. This quest rewards players with valuable items.
Starting the Quest:
Upon 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. You'll need to gather the necessary materials to 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."
The solution involves leaving Trosky Castle through the northern gates. Proceed north, entering a forest area.
Follow the path, looking to the left for rocky formations with crevices. Navigate 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.
Locating the Armor Pieces (Using the Maps):
- Map 1: Continue west on the road from the chapel to a crossroads. Head north into the woods to locate a wolf den. The armor piece is in a bag near the trees above the den.
- Map 2: Travel to the outpost at Vidlak Pond. Behind the fisherman's house, find a large rock formation along the cliffs. A chest containing the armor piece is near a cross atop the rocks.
- Map 3: Fast travel to Zhelejov. Leave the tavern and cross two bridges towards Tachov. After the second bridge, take a small path leading to the river and forest. Follow this path to a hill; the armor is in a bag near a large tree at the hill's summit.
- Map 4: Travel to the hill between the Nomads' Camp and Bozhena's Hut. Locate rocks with a cross on top to find the final piece of Brunswick's armor.
