In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the side quests offer rewarding experiences, and one such quest is The Axe From the Lake. Here's a detailed guide on how to complete it successfully.
How to Start Axe From the Lake in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To kick off The Axe From the Lake quest, make your way to the tavern in Tachov. There, you'll meet an NPC named Zdenyek the Mouth. Engage in conversation with him and prompt him to share something informative. He'll then tell you about a legendary axe submerged in a lake, setting you on your quest.
How to Find the Axe From the Lake
Before embarking on your journey, ensure you have a spade. These can be found at graveyards or purchased from general traders in settlements. With your spade in hand, follow the objective marker to a pier facing the water. From there, head north along the road until you spot an undamaged tree; Henry will comment on it. Continue along the path until you reach a large rock, prompting another remark from Henry.
Keep following the path, and you'll soon arrive at a gravesite near a tree. Dig up the grave using your spade, and you'll uncover the following items:
- Gemstone
- Silver Ring
- Marigold x5
- Broken Axe


Repairing the Axe
With the Broken Axe in your possession, your next task is to repair it. Visit blacksmith Radovan in Tachov and request his services to fix the axe. Be prepared to provide him with a Fastening Material and pay 699.5 groschen. You can buy the Fastening Material from Radovan if needed.
Once repaired, the Broken Axe transforms into the Adorned Axe. Conclude the quest by returning to Zdenyek the Mouth and informing him of your success. You can then choose to keep the Adorned Axe and wield it in battle.
