How to Start Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To initiate The Axe From the Lake quest, head to the tavern in Tachov. There, you'll find an NPC named Zdenyek the Mouth. Engage in conversation with him and prompt him to share something informative. He will regale you with tales of a mythical axe submerged in a lake, setting you off on your adventure.
How to Find the Axe From the Lake
Before embarking on your quest, ensure you have a spade; you'll need it to dig up a grave. Spades can be found in graveyards or purchased from general traders in settlements. Once equipped, follow your objective marker to a pier facing the water. From there, proceed north along the road until you reach an undamaged tree, which Henry will comment on. Continue along the path until you spot 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, where you will uncover the following items:
- Gemstone
- Silver Ring
- Marigold x5
- Broken Axe
Repairing the Axe
With the Broken Axe in hand, your next step is to repair it. Visit blacksmith Radovan in Tachov and request his services to restore the axe. Be prepared to provide him with a Fastening Material and pay a significant fee of 699.5 groschen. Fastening Materials can also be purchased from Radovan if needed.
Once repaired, the Broken Axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. Conclude the quest by returning to Zdenyek the Mouth and informing him of your success. You can then keep the Adorned Axe for use in battle, adding a powerful weapon to your arsenal.
