In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the side quests and tasks offer rewarding experiences that enrich your gameplay. One such engaging quest is "The Axe From the Lake." Here's a detailed guide on how to complete this intriguing mission.
How to Start Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To embark on "The Axe From the Lake," make your way to the bustling tavern in Tachov. There, you'll meet Zdenyek the Mouth, an NPC who holds the key to starting this quest. Engage in conversation with him and choose the option to ask for something informative. Zdenyek will then share the tale of the mythical axe hidden in the lake, setting you off on your adventure.
How to Find the Axe From the Lake
Before setting out, ensure you have a spade, as you'll need it to dig up a grave during the quest. You can find spades in graveyards or purchase them from general traders in settlements. Once equipped, follow your objective marker to a large area. Start at the pier facing the water and proceed north along the road. You'll encounter an undamaged tree, prompting a remark from Henry. Continue following the path until you reach a large rock, which will elicit another comment from Henry.
Keep moving forward until you find a gravesite in front of a tree. Use your spade to dig up the grave and uncover the following items:
- Gemstone
- Silver Ring
- Marigold x5
- Broken Axe
Repairing the Axe
With the Broken Axe in hand, your next task is to repair it. Head to Tachov and find blacksmith Radovan. Request his services to fix the axe, but be prepared to provide him with a Fastening Material and pay a substantial fee of 699.5 groschen. You can also purchase the Fastening Material from Radovan 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. You can then keep the Adorned Axe for use in battle, adding a powerful weapon to your arsenal.
