Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Axe From the Lake Quest Guide

Embark on a rewarding side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: "The Axe From the Lake." These optional tasks often yield valuable rewards, making them well worth your time. Here's a complete guide.

How to Begin "The Axe From the Lake"

To start this quest, head to the Tachov tavern and speak with Zdenyek the Mouth. Ask him to share something interesting, and he'll reveal details about a legendary axe hidden in the lake, setting you on your adventure.

Locating the Axe

Before you set off, grab a spade. You'll need it later. Spades are commonly found in graveyards around towns, or you can purchase one from a general trader.

Follow the objective marker, remembering it covers a wide area. Start at the pier, heading north along the path. You'll pass an undamaged tree and a large rock—Henry will comment on both. Continue until you find a gravesite near a tree. Dig it up to uncover a gemstone silver ring, five marigolds, and—most importantly—a broken axe.

Repairing the Axe

To repair the axe, visit blacksmith Radovan in Tachov. He'll need a fastening material and 699.5 groschen to restore it. You can usually purchase the fastening material from Radovan himself. Once repaired, the broken axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. Return to Zdenyek to complete the quest and keep your newly repaired weapon.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully completed "The Axe From the Lake." The Adorned Axe is yours to use in battle. For more Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 guides and tips, including help with other quests and gameplay mechanics, be sure to check out The Escapist.
