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 the effort. This guide will walk you through completing this specific quest.

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 for some informative gossip; he'll reveal details about a legendary axe hidden within the lake, setting you on your quest.

Locating the Axe

Before heading to the quest marker, gather a spade. These can be found in graveyards or purchased from general traders. You'll need it to unearth a crucial item.

Your objective marker covers a wide area; start at the pier. Follow the path north, past an undamaged tree (Henry will comment on it), then to a large rock (another comment from Henry). Continue along the path until you find a gravesite near a tree. Dig it up to uncover a gemstone silver ring, five marigolds, and 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. You can also purchase the fastening material from him. Once repaired, the "Broken Axe" transforms into the "Adorned Axe." Return to Zdenyek to complete the quest and keep your newly repaired axe.
