In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, engaging in side quests like The Axe From the Lake can significantly enhance your gameplay experience with valuable rewards. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to complete this intriguing quest.
How to Start Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
If you're yet to stumble upon this quest, fret not. To kickstart The Axe From the Lake, make your way to the tavern in Tachov and strike up a conversation with Zdenyek the Mouth. During your chat, prompt him to share some informative tidbits, and he'll spill the beans about a legendary axe submerged in a lake. With this clue in hand, you're ready to embark on your quest.
How to Find the Axe From the Lake
Before setting off, equip yourself with a spade; you'll need it to unearth a grave as part of the quest. Spades can often be found in graveyards and cemeteries on the outskirts of towns, or you can procure one from general trader NPCs within settlements.
With your spade in tow, follow the objective marker. Although the marker spans a large area, your journey begins at the pier facing the water. From there, take 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 trail until you encounter 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 your possession, your next mission is to restore it to its former glory. Head over to Tachov and find blacksmith Radovan. Request his services to repair the axe, but be prepared to provide a Fastening Material and cough up 699.5 groschen. Fortunately, you can purchase the necessary Fastening Material from Radovan himself.
Once repaired, the Broken Axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. To wrap up the quest, return to Zdenyek and inform him of your success. After completing the quest, you can wield the Adorned Axe in combat, adding a powerful new weapon to your arsenal.
