In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, side quests like "The Axe From the Lake" offer rewarding experiences and valuable loot, enhancing your gameplay. Here’s a detailed guide on how to complete this intriguing quest.
How to Start Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
If you haven't yet embarked on this quest, start by visiting the tavern in Tachov. Look for an NPC named Zdenyek the Mouth. Engage him in conversation and ask for something informative. He will share tales of a mythical axe hidden in a lake, setting you off on your adventure.
How to Find the Axe From the Lake
Before you set out, ensure you have a spade with you, as you'll need it to dig up a grave. Spades can be found in graveyards or cemeteries near town outskirts, or you can buy one from general trader NPCs within settlements.
Follow your objective marker, which will lead you to a vast area. Head to the pier facing the water to start your journey. From there, follow the road north until you reach an undamaged tree, which Henry will comment on. Continue along the path until you encounter a large rock, prompting another remark from Henry.
Keep following the path until you find 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
To repair the Broken Axe into the Adorned Axe, visit blacksmith Radovan in Tachov. He will require a Fastening Material and a payment of 699.5 groschen. You can purchase the Fastening Material from Radovan as well.
Once the axe is repaired, return to Zdenyek the Mouth to complete the quest. You can then keep the Adorned Axe and use it in battle if you choose.
