In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, diving into the array of optional side quests and tasks can significantly enhance your gameplay, thanks to the rewarding outcomes they offer. One such engaging quest is The Axe From the Lake. Here's a detailed guide on how to successfully navigate through this quest and reap its benefits.
How to Start Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
If you're eager to embark on The Axe From the Lake quest, make your way to the tavern in Tachov. There, you'll meet an NPC named Zdenyek the Mouth. Engage him in conversation and choose to ask for something informative. He'll share intriguing details about a legendary axe hidden in a lake, setting you off on your quest.
How to Find the Axe From the Lake
Before you set out, ensure you have a spade in your inventory, as you'll need it to dig up a grave during the quest. Spades can typically be found in graveyards or purchased from general traders within settlements.
Follow your objective marker to a large area, and head towards the pier facing the water. From the pier, 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 path until you encounter a gravesite in front of a tree. Use your spade to dig up the grave, where you'll discover:
- Gemstone
- Silver Ring
- Marigold x5
- Broken Axe
Repairing the Axe
With the Broken Axe in hand, your next destination is the blacksmith Radovan in Tachov. Request his services to repair the axe, but be prepared to provide him with a Fastening Material and pay a hefty sum of 699.5 groschen. Fortunately, you can purchase the Fastening Material from Radovan himself if needed.
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. The Adorned Axe is now yours to keep and can be used in battle, adding a valuable asset to your arsenal.
