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, available only to pre-order customers. This quest offers valuable 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 riddle and the smithing recipe for Brunswick's polearm. You'll need to gather the necessary materials yourself, then craft the weapon at a blacksmith's forge.

Solving the Lion's Crest 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."

This riddle leads you on a treasure hunt across the game world.

The Treasure Hunt:

1. First Location (Map 1): Exit Trosky Castle through the northern gates, heading north through the forest. Locate rocky formations with crevices. Pass through these to find a cave containing a chapel. Examine the cross near the rock to obtain the first piece of Brunswick's armor and two treasure maps.

   

2. Second Location (Map 2): Follow the road west from the chapel to a crossroads. Head north into the woods to a wolf den. Search the trees above the den for a bag containing the second armor piece.

   

3. Third Location (Map 3): This map directs you to Vidlak Pond. Follow the path behind the fisherman's house to a cliff with large rock formations. Find a chest near a cross on the rocks.

   

4. Fourth Location (Map 4): Fast travel to Zhelejov. Exit the tavern and cross two bridges towards Tachov. Take a small path to the river and forest. Follow this path to a hill; examine the large tree at the top to find bones and a bag containing armor.

   

5. Fifth Location (Map 5): The final map leads to a hill between the Nomads' Camp and Bozhena's Hut. Locate rocks with a cross to find the last piece of Brunswick's armor.
