Unlocking the Lion's Crest Bonus Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
This guide details how to initiate and complete the exclusive Lion's Crest quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, accessible only to pre-order customers. This quest offers substantial rewards.
Starting the Lion's Crest Quest:
Upon completing the tutorial and gaining access to the open world, locate the scribe Gaibl in Troskowitz. He will provide you with a cryptic riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick's polearm. You must gather the necessary materials yourself to craft the weapon at a blacksmith's forge.
Deciphering 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 riddle directs you to leave Trosky Castle via the northern gates, heading north through the forest.
Follow the path, noting rocky formations with passable crevices on the left. This leads to a cave containing a chapel. Examine the cross near the rock to find the first piece of Brunswick's armor and two treasure maps.
Treasure Map Locations:
- Map 1: Continue west on the road from the chapel to a crossroads. Head north into the woods to a wolf den; the armor is in a bag above the den.
- Map 2: Proceed to the Vidlak Pond outpost. Behind the fisherman's house, locate a large rock formation along the cliffs. A chest containing armor 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 to the river and forest. Follow this path to a hill; examine the large tree for bones and a bag containing armor.
- Map 4: Travel to the hill between the Nomads' Camp and Bozhena's Hut. Locate rocks with a cross; the final piece of Brunswick's armor is there.
Completing these steps will conclude the Lion's Crest quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Consult The Escapist for additional game guides, including romance options and recommended perks.
