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 vast open-world, head to Troskowitz to meet the scribe Gaibl. He'll kickstart your journey on The Lion’s Crest by providing you with a riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick’s polearm. Remember, you'll need to source the materials yourself, but you can craft this unique weapon at any blacksmith’s forge.

The Lion’s Crest Riddle Solution

The riddle you receive from Gaibl goes like this:

“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 unravel this mystery, start by leaving Trosky Castle through its northern gates, where you'll find the Crone Tower and Maiden Tower. Continue north into the forest, keeping your eyes peeled on the left side of the road. You’ll encounter rocky formations with narrow passages; navigate through these until you reach a cave that houses a chapel. Inspect the cross on a nearby rock to uncover the first piece of Brunswick’s Armour, along with two treasure maps to guide your next steps.

Following the road from the chapel, venture west until you hit a crossroads. Turn north into the woods to discover a wolf den. Search the trees just above the den for a bag containing the second piece of Brunswick’s armour.

Your second map leads to Vidlak Pond. Follow the trail behind the fisherman’s house and look for a large rock formation along the cliffs. Ascend to find a chest next to a cross, which holds the next armour piece.

For the third map, fast travel to Zhelejov, then make your way to the tavern and exit the settlement. Cross two bridges towards Tachov, but after the second, veer onto a smaller path leading to the river and forest. Climb the hill you'll encounter and inspect the large tree at its peak to find some bones and a bag with the armour piece.

The final map directs you to a hill between the Nomads’ Camp and Bozhena’s Hut. Look for rocks topped with a cross on this hill, where the last piece of Brunswick’s armour awaits.
