How to Start Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

If you're yet to embark on "The Axe From the Lake," your journey begins at the tavern in Tachov. There, you'll meet an NPC named Zdenyek the Mouth. Engage him in conversation and request something informative. He'll share intriguing tales about a mythical axe hidden in a lake, sparking the beginning of your quest.

How to Find the Axe From the Lake

Before setting out, ensure you have a spade; you'll need it to dig up a grave during the quest. Spades can typically be found in graveyards or purchased from general traders in settlements.

Once equipped, follow your objective marker to a large area, and head towards the pier facing the water. From there, follow the road north 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 reach a gravesite in front of a tree. Dig up the grave to uncover the following treasures:

• 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. Be prepared to provide him with a Fastening Material and pay a sum of 699.5 groschen. Radovan should have Fastening Materials available for purchase if you don't already have one.

Once repaired, the Broken Axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. To complete the quest, return to Zdenyek the Mouth and share your success. You can then keep the Adorned Axe, which can be a formidable weapon in battle.
