In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, diving into the myriad of side quests not only enriches your gameplay but also rewards you handsomely. One such intriguing quest is "The Axe From the Lake." Here's your detailed guide on how to complete it.
How to Start Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
If you're yet to embark on this quest, head over to the tavern in Tachov. There, you'll meet an NPC named Zdenyek the Mouth. Engage him in conversation and prompt him for some informative tales. He'll share the legend of the mythical axe submerged in a lake, setting you off on your adventure.
How to Find the Axe From the Lake
Before setting out, ensure you have a spade in your inventory; you'll need it to dig up a grave. Spades can be found at graveyards or purchased from general traders in settlements. Once equipped, follow your objective marker to a vast area. Begin your search at the pier facing the water, then move north along the road until you spot an undamaged tree, which Henry will comment on. Continue on this path until you reach a large rock, prompting another remark from Henry.
Keep following the path, and you'll soon encounter a gravesite in front of a tree. Dig up the grave with your spade to uncover:
- Gemstone
- Silver Ring
- Marigold x5
- Broken Axe
Repairing the Axe
With the Broken Axe in hand, your next stop is the blacksmith Radovan in Tachov. Ask him to repair the axe, but be prepared to provide a Fastening Material and a sum of 699.5 groschen. You can purchase the Fastening Material from Radovan himself if needed. Once repaired, the Broken Axe transforms into the Adorned Axe.
To wrap up the quest, return to Zdenyek the Mouth and share your success. Upon completion, you'll have the option to keep the Adorned Axe and wield it in battle, adding a unique weapon to your arsenal.
And that's how you complete "The Axe From the Lake" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and tricks, including how to treat the wounded in the Finger of God quest and a breakdown of all romance options, be sure to check out resources like The Escapist.
