Embark on a rewarding side quest in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*—The Axe From the Lake. These optional tasks often yield valuable rewards, making them well worth your time. Here’s a complete guide to completing this intriguing quest.
How to Start The Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To begin, head to the Tachov tavern and seek out Zdenyek the Mouth. Engage him in conversation, asking him to share something insightful. He'll then reveal details about a legendary axe hidden within the lake, setting your quest in motion.
How to Find the Axe From the Lake
Before venturing to the quest marker, gather a spade. These are commonly found in graveyards on town outskirts or can be purchased from general traders. The objective marker spans a wide area; begin at the pier overlooking the water. Follow the path north, past an undamaged tree (Henry will comment on it), then to a large rock (another comment from Henry will follow).
Continue along the path until you reach a gravesite near a tree. Dig it up to unearth a gemstone silver ring, five marigolds, and—crucially—a broken axe.
Repairing the Axe
Take the broken axe to blacksmith Radovan in Tachov. He'll repair it for you, but you'll need a fastening material and 699.5 groschen. You can usually purchase the fastening material from Radovan as well. Once repaired, the broken axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. Return to Zdenyek to complete the quest and claim your reward—the Adorned Axe, ready for use in battle.
