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. Here's a complete guide to completing this intriguing quest.

How to Start "The Axe From the Lake"

To begin, head to the Tachov tavern and speak with Zdenyek the Mouth. Ask him to share something informative, and he'll reveal details about a legendary axe hidden within the lake, setting your adventure in motion.

How to Find the Axe

Before venturing to the quest marker, gather a spade. These are commonly found in graveyards or can be purchased from general traders. The quest marker covers a large area; begin at the pier facing the lake. 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 locate a gravesite near a tree. Dig it up to unearth a gemstone 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 699.5 groschen. You can also purchase the fastening material from him. Once repaired, the "Adorned Axe" is yours. Return to Zdenyek to complete the quest and enjoy your new weapon.
