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 intriguing quest.

How to Begin "The Axe From the Lake"

To unlock this quest, head to the Tachov tavern and speak with 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 large area; begin at the pier overlooking the water. Follow the path north to an undamaged tree (Henry will comment on it). Continue along the path until you reach a large rock (another comment from Henry). Following the path further will lead you to 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 require a fastening material and a substantial sum of 699.5 groschen. Fastening materials are typically available for purchase from Radovan himself. 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.
