How to Start Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
If you're yet to embark on this adventure, head to the tavern in Tachov and engage with the NPC, Zdenyek the Mouth. During your conversation, prompt him for some informative tales, and he'll share the legend of the mythical axe submerged in a lake, setting you on your quest.
How to Find the Axe From the Lake
Before setting out, ensure you have a spade in your inventory, as you'll need it to dig up a grave. You can find spades in graveyards or purchase one from a general trader in any settlement. Once equipped, follow the objective marker to a pier overlooking the water. From there, proceed north along the road 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, and you'll soon discover a gravesite in front of a tree. Dig it up to uncover a Gemstone, a Silver Ring, five Marigolds, and the crucial Broken Axe.
Repairing the Axe
With the Broken Axe in hand, your next stop is the blacksmith Radovan in Tachov. Request his services to repair the axe, but be prepared to provide a Fastening Material and pay 699.5 groschen. You can purchase the Fastening Material from Radovan if needed.
Once repaired, the Broken Axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. To wrap up the quest, revisit Zdenyek the Mouth and share your success. You can then keep the Adorned Axe for use in combat, adding a valuable weapon to your arsenal.
