How to Start Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To embark on The Axe From the Lake quest, make your way to the tavern in Tachov. Here, you'll meet Zdenyek the Mouth, a key NPC for this quest. Engage him in conversation and prompt him for some informative tales. He will share the legend of the mythical axe lying in the lake, setting you on your quest.
How to Find the Axe From the Lake
Before setting out, equip yourself with a spade, as you'll need it to dig up a grave. Spades can be found in graveyards or purchased from general traders in settlements. Once prepared, follow your objective marker to a large area. Start your search at the pier facing the water, then head north along the road until you spot an undamaged tree, which Henry will comment on. Continue along the path until you reach a large rock, prompting another remark from Henry.
Keep following the path until you encounter a gravesite in front of a tree. Use your spade to dig up the grave, and you'll uncover the following items:
- Gemstone
- Silver Ring
- Marigold x5
- Broken Axe
Repairing the Axe
With the Broken Axe in hand, your next task is to repair it. Visit blacksmith Radovan in Tachov and request his services to fix the axe. You'll need to provide him with a Fastening Material and 699.5 groschen. Radovan should have the Fastening Material available for purchase if you don't already have it.
Once repaired, the Broken Axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. To complete the quest, return to Zdenyek the Mouth and inform him of your success. You can then keep the Adorned Axe for use in battle, adding a valuable weapon to your arsenal.
