Initiating the Lion’s Crest Quest
To kick off The Lion’s Crest quest, engage in conversation with Gaibl the scribe in Troskowitz. Ensure to select the dialogue option accompanied by a blue icon to commence your journey. The choice of skill check following that point will not make a difference. Inquire with Gaibl regarding Brunswick and his riddle to receive the first clue along with a poleaxe sketch to share with a blacksmith.
Brunswick’s riddle 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 hunter’s gaze, standing tall two guards of stone, behind whom yearned for treasure lays. Between them stands a mighty rock, a subtle niche yet deeper still, a place to give one’s heart to God, behold my armor gleaming still.”
The poetic riddle hints at the location of Brunswick’s first treasure, which is relatively nearby. Make sure to equip yourself with a shovel before heading out!
Decoding Brunswick’s Riddle
The secret treasure cache lies north of Trosky Castle, nestled within a small chapel surrounded by rocky formations in the heart of the woods. The particular spot is indicated by the yellow circle on the map below.
When you arrive, you’ll need to navigate around to the northern-facing entry of the site. Inside, you will discover a small stone cross with an altar nearby. Interact with the cross to shift it and then dig in the soil to retrieve Brunswick’s treasure. You can expect to find two maps, Brunswick’s gauntlet and dagger, a skill book, and a bottle of wine.
Finding Brunswick’s First Map
The first map guides you northwest toward Tachov, where a rocky, forested area awaits.
This region is more perilous, as it is known to be infested with wolves. You will need to eliminate a few wolves to create a safe environment to search. Brunswick’s bag is concealed between two closely growing trees; it contains a coif, a leg plate, and a caparison for your horse, assuming you have one. Don’t forget to prepare or preserve the food items you find inside to avoid spoilage.
Tracking Down Brunswick’s Second Map
Brunswick’s second map leads you to a location westward, specifically near Vidlak Pond.
The stone cross is situated on a small elevation just west of the pond. If you encounter difficulty locating it, commence your search from the fisherman’s house and head northward. This treasure trove offers plate sleeves, a complimentary Savior Schnapps potion to alleviate your belladonna farming requirements, along with some bandages.
Discovering Brunswick’s Third Map
Next, travel back south to Zhelejov, focusing on a secluded area north of Zhelejov Wagoner’s Inn.
Venture north from the inn into the woods until you reach the designated area shown above. Look for a small mound marked by a skeleton, alongside another cross. Inside the bag, you will find wine, an impressive 30 apples, and Brunswick’s brigandine armor.
Finding Brunswick’s Final Map
The last treasure location is situated at the treasure hunter’s camp, approximately midway between the Nomad’s Camp and Bozhena’s house.
Be cautious, as this bandit camp is inhabited by aggressive treasure hunters who will attack on sight. Defeat them to safely explore the area. Look for the stone cross on the ground, which marks the spot where a rock pile is located. Interacting with it rewards you with Brunswick’s bacinet (the metal component of a knight’s helmet), a new die for crafting, and a worn rosary.
Completing the Lion’s Crest quest in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 finalizes your quest for treasures and armors. While creating the poleaxe is optional, it can also be sold for a good profit if you decide against keeping it for yourself.
