Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Lion’s Crest guide: How to complete bonus quest and all Brunswick armor locations

As an esteemed pre-orderer of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you’re in for a treat – the exclusive Lion’s Crest bonus quest. This mission involves various challenges, from solving a riddle to locating hidden armor. We’ll show you how to complete this quest, earning you the legendary Lion’s Crest.

How to start Lion’s Crest bonus quest in KCD2

You can start the Lion’s Crest bonus quest after you’ve completed the tutorial phase in Troskowitz. Once you’re allowed to free roam, open your map to locate the purple-colored quill icon for the mission.

Upon reaching the quest waypoint, you’ll meet Scribe Gailbl inside the building. He’ll regale you with the legends of the Brunswick armor and a riddle on how to find it. After talking to him, he’ll reward you with a Brunswick Poleaxe Sketch. This sketch, requiring one fastening material, three iron, and one Frankfurt steel, is not essential for the mission, but it’s a worthy addition to your arsenal if you’re in need of a new weapon.

Before embarking on your adventure, ensure you’re well-equipped. Acquire a Spade from a merchant or as loot – it’s a crucial tool for unearthing treasure later on. Additionally, having a trusty horse by your side will significantly ease your travels, making your journey more enjoyable and efficient.

How to find Lion’s Crest in KCD2

The Lion’s Crest bonus quest begins with the first riddle, followed by various map locations. Let’s break them all down to get you the exclusive Lion’s Crest in KCD2.

First Riddle solution and Brunswick armor location

The lengthy riddle Scribe gives you delves into various points of interest, like the hall of the forest kings and mysterious gates. Using these hints will lead you to large rocks above Trosky Castle (top-right corner of the map).

You should see a light illuminating from a cross, which will be right above the treasure. Use the spade to dig underneath, and you’ll gain these items:

Brunswick’s dagger
Brunswick’s gauntlet
Fragments from the Bible
Groschen

Brunswick’s armor first map location

You’ll receive a set of two maps from the Chapel in the Rocks dig site. Fortunately, the first one isn’t too far, located to the left of Trosky Castle near a Wolf hunting spot.

Come prepared for a fight while approaching the Wolf hunting spot. Mutt can help you here if you need an extra hand. But, if you haven’t found him yet, you can get rid of them by yourself. Wait for one of them to attack you and try to block them for the parry, allowing you to strike them down. However, it’s crucial to keep track of the other ones around you to avoid any surprise attacks. Just don’t go up too close to them so you can see where the others are. Once they are dealt with, go between two giant trees.

Interact with the bag there to gain more Brunswick items:

Brunswick’s chainmail coif
Brunswick’s plate leg armor
Brunswick’s caparison

Brunswick’s armor second map location

The second map takes you over to the left side of the map near Vidlak Pond. Get up higher to find the trunk of a tree on a rock.

Jump on the trunk and cross over to reach the chest. You’ll find Brunswick’s plate sleeves inside it.

Brunswick’s armor third map location

After finding the treasures of the first two maps, you’ll receive two additional maps for the next batch of Brunswick’s armor. If you’re still at the second map location, go down south to Zhelejov Wagoners’ Inn (to the left of Tachov). Travel up a hill to spot a cross and skeleton beside a tree. Interact with the skeleton to claim the Knight’s Sword. Then, open the bag to the right of it to claim Brunswick’s brigandine.

Brunswick’s armor fourth map location

The fourth and final Brunswick armor location will be above Bozhena, the nice old lady who helps you in the story’s beginning. Travel up the hill to uncover a Treasure Hunters’ Camp, where you will encounter a few enemies. You can take them out or wait until nighttime to sneak over to the cross.

You’ll find the Brunswick’s bascinet there, completing the Lion’s Crest quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Equip all the armor pieces for better defense, which will help you out tremendously during the game’s early stages.
