How to Start Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

If you're yet to embark on this quest, head to the tavern in Tachov and strike up a conversation with Zdenyek the Mouth. When you ask him for something informative, he'll share the tale of a mythical axe hidden 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. Spades can be found in graveyards or purchased from general traders in settlements. Once equipped, follow your objective marker to a large area, and head to the pier facing the water. From there, follow the road north until you reach an undamaged tree, which Henry will comment on. Continue along the path until you encounter a large rock, prompting another remark from Henry.

Keep following the path until you reach a gravesite in front of a tree. Use your spade to dig up the grave, and you'll uncover the following items:

• Gemstone
• Silver Ring
• Marigold x5
• 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 fix the axe. You'll need to provide him with a Fastening Material and pay a substantial fee of 699.5 groschen. Fastening Materials can be bought from Radovan himself. 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 combat.
