In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, engaging in the optional side quests can significantly enrich your gaming experience, thanks to the rewarding outcomes they offer. One such intriguing quest is The Axe From the Lake, and here's a detailed guide on how to successfully complete it.
How to Start Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
If you're yet to embark on this quest, the journey begins in the bustling tavern of Tachov. Here, you'll meet an NPC named Zdenyek the Mouth. Strike up a conversation with him and steer the chat towards something informative. Zdenyek will then share tales of a mythical axe submerged in a lake, setting you on your quest.
How to Find the Axe From the Lake
Before setting out, ensure you're equipped with a spade, as you'll need it to dig up a grave during the quest. Spades are commonly found in graveyards or can be purchased from general trader NPCs within settlements.
Follow your objective marker, which will lead you to a vast area. Start at the pier facing the water, then head north along the road until you spot an undamaged tree, prompting a remark from Henry. Continue along the path until you reach a large rock, where Henry will comment again.
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: a Gemstone, a Silver Ring, five Marigold flowers, and the crucial 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 699.5 groschen. Fortunately, Radovan also sells Fastening Materials, making it convenient to acquire what you need.
Once repaired, the Broken Axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. To wrap up the quest, return to Zdenyek the Mouth and share the news of your success. Upon completion, you'll have the option to keep the Adorned Axe, which can be a valuable asset in combat.
