Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Axe From the Lake Quest Guide

Uncover the Secrets of "The Axe From the Lake" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offers a wealth of optional quests, and "The Axe From the Lake" is definitely worth pursuing. This guide will walk you through completing this rewarding side quest.

Initiating the Quest:

To begin, visit the Tachov tavern and speak with Zdenyek the Mouth. Ask him for some "informative" gossip; he'll reveal details about a legendary axe hidden in the lake, setting the quest in motion.

Locating the Axe:

Before heading to the quest marker, gather a spade. These can be found in graveyards on town outskirts or purchased from general traders. The quest marker covers a large area; begin at the pier. Follow the path north, noting Henry's comments about an undamaged tree and a large rock along the way. You'll eventually discover a gravesite near a tree. Dig it up to unearth a gemstone ring, five marigolds, and—crucially—a broken axe.

Repairing the Axe:

Take the broken axe to blacksmith Radovan in Tachov. He'll repair it for you, but you'll need a fastening material and 699.5 groschen. Radovan likely sells the fastening material. Once repaired, you'll receive the Adorned Axe.

Quest Completion:

Return to Zdenyek to complete the quest. You'll get to keep the Adorned Axe for use in combat.
