Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Axe From the Lake Quest Guide

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, taking on side quests like The Axe From the Lake can greatly enhance your gameplay experience, thanks to the valuable rewards they offer. Here's a detailed guide on how to successfully complete this engaging quest.

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. Look for Zdenyek the Mouth, an NPC who holds the key to unlocking this quest. Engage him in conversation and ask for something informative. He'll regale you with tales of a mythical axe resting in a lake, setting you off 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. Spades can often be found in graveyards or purchased from general trader NPCs in settlements.

Follow your objective marker to the designated area, which will lead you to a pier facing the water. From there, travel north along the road until you spot an undamaged tree, which Henry will comment on. Keep following the path until you reach a large rock, prompting another comment from Henry.

Continue along the path until you find a gravesite in front of a tree. Use your spade to dig up the grave, revealing a treasure trove of items including a Gemstone, a Silver Ring, five Marigolds, and the 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 complete the repair, you'll need to provide him with a Fastening Material and pay a substantial fee of 699.5 groschen. Fastening Materials can typically be bought from Radovan himself.

Once repaired, the Broken Axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. To wrap up the quest, return to Zdenyek the Mouth and inform him of your success. After completing the quest, you can keep the Adorned Axe, which can be a powerful addition to your arsenal in battles.

And that's how you complete The Axe From the Lake in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and in-depth guides on the game, including how to treat the wounded in Finger of God and a breakdown of all romance options, be sure to visit The Escapist.
