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

Once you've breezed through the tutorial section of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and you're free to explore the vast open world, make your way to Troskowitz. There, you'll meet the scribe Gaibl, who will kickstart your journey with The Lion’s Crest quest. He'll hand you a riddle to solve and the smithing recipe for Brunswick’s polearm. Remember, you'll need to scrounge up the materials yourself, but the blacksmith's forge is where you'll bring your creation to life.

The Lion’s Crest Riddle Solution

The riddle is your key to uncovering the treasure, and it reads:

“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 crack this riddle, head to Trosky Castle where you'll find the Crone Tower and Maiden Tower. Depart from the castle via the northern gates and continue north through the forest.

Keep your eyes peeled on the left side of the road for some intriguing rocky formations. Navigate through the crevices until you stumble upon a cave housing a chapel. The first piece of Brunswick’s Armour, along with two treasure maps, awaits you at the cross on the rock beside the chapel.

For the third map, fast travel to Zhelejov and head to the tavern before exiting the settlement. After crossing the two bridges towards Tachov, take a small path right after the second bridge leading to the river and forest. Follow this path until you reach a hill, where a large tree at the top holds some bones and a bag with the armour.
