In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, side quests like The Axe From the Lake offer rewarding challenges that enrich your gameplay experience. 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

To embark on The Axe From the Lake quest, head to the tavern in Tachov. There, you'll meet an NPC named Zdenyek the Mouth. Engage him in conversation and prompt him to share something informative. He'll enlighten you about a legendary axe hidden in a lake, setting you on your adventure.

How to Find the Axe From the Lake

Before setting out, equip yourself with a spade; you'll need it to dig up a grave during the quest. You can find spades in graveyards or cemeteries on the outskirts of towns, or purchase one from a general trader in a settlement.

Once prepared, follow your objective marker. It spans a large area, so proceed to the pier facing the water to begin. Follow the road north until you spot an undamaged tree; Henry will comment on it. Continue along the path until you reach a large rock, prompting another remark from Henry.

Keep following the path until you encounter a gravesite in front of a tree. Use your spade to dig it up, uncovering:

• Gemstone
• Silver Ring
• Marigold x5
• Broken Axe

Repairing the Axe

Next, take the Broken Axe to blacksmith Radovan in Tachov. Request that he repairs it, providing him with a Fastening Material and 699.5 groschen. You can also purchase the Fastening Material from Radovan if needed.

Once repaired, the Broken Axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. Complete the quest by returning to Zdenyek the Mouth and informing him of your success. You can then keep the Adorned Axe for use in combat.
