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

If you're yet to embark on this quest, head over to the tavern in Tachov. There, you'll meet an NPC named Zdenyek the Mouth. Engage him in conversation and ask for something informative. He'll share tales of a mythical axe submerged in a lake, setting you off on your adventure.

How to Find the Axe From the Lake

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

Follow your objective marker to a large area, and head to the pier facing the water. From there, follow the road north until you reach an undamaged tree, which Henry will comment on. Continue along the path until you see a large rock, prompting another remark from Henry.

Keep following the path until you come across 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

With the Broken Axe in hand, your next step is to repair it. Visit blacksmith Radovan in Tachov and request his services to fix the axe. You'll need to provide him with a Fastening Material and pay a hefty sum of 699.5 groschen. Fastening Materials can also be purchased from Radovan.

Once repaired, the Broken Axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. To complete the quest, return to Zdenyek the Mouth and inform him of your success. You can then keep the Adorned Axe for use in battle, adding a powerful weapon to your arsenal.
