In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, engaging in the numerous side quests and tasks can significantly enhance your gameplay experience, thanks to the rewarding outcomes they offer. One such intriguing quest is "The Axe From the Lake." Here's a detailed guide on how to successfully complete this quest.

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

If you're yet to embark on this quest, you can initiate it by visiting 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 regale you with tales of a mythical axe submerged 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 during the quest. Spades can typically be found in graveyards or purchased from general traders in settlements.

Follow your objective marker to a large area, and head towards the pier facing the water. From there, proceed north along the road until you spot an undamaged tree, which Henry will comment on. 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 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. Head to the blacksmith Radovan in Tachov and request his services to fix the axe. Be prepared to provide him with a Fastening Material and pay a substantial fee of 699.5 groschen. You can also purchase the Fastening Material from Radovan if needed.

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, adding a powerful weapon to your arsenal.
