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. This guide details how to complete this intriguing quest.

How to Begin "The Axe From the Lake" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To initiate this quest, head to the Tachov tavern and seek out Zdenyek the Mouth. Engage him in conversation, prompting him to share something insightful. He'll then reveal details about a legendary axe hidden within the lake, setting your adventure in motion.

Locating the Axe

Before venturing to the quest marker, gather a spade. These are commonly found in graveyards on the outskirts of towns, or can be purchased from general traders. The quest marker covers a wide area; begin at the pier overlooking the water.

Follow the path north from the pier, past an undamaged tree (Henry will comment on it), then to a large rock (another comment from Henry). Continue along the path until you reach a gravesite near a tree. Dig it up to unearth a gemstone silver ring, five marigolds, and a broken axe.

Repairing the Axe

To repair the axe, visit blacksmith Radovan in Tachov. He'll require a fastening material and a substantial 699.5 groschen. You can usually purchase the fastening material from Radovan as well. Once repaired, the broken axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. Return to Zdenyek to complete the quest and claim your reward—the Adorned Axe, ready for use in battle.
