How to Begin "The Axe From the Lake" in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*

To unlock this quest, head to the Tachov tavern and chat with Zdenyek the Mouth. Ask him to share some interesting information; he'll reveal details about a legendary axe hidden within the lake, setting your adventure in motion.

Locating the Axe

Before venturing to the quest marker, grab a spade. You'll need it to unearth a crucial item. Spades are commonly found in graveyards on town outskirts or purchased from general traders.

With your spade in hand, proceed to the quest marker. While the area is large, focus on 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). Finally, you'll discover a gravesite near a tree. Dig it up to uncover a gemstone silver ring, five marigolds, and—most importantly—a broken axe.

Repairing the Axe

To restore the axe, visit blacksmith Radovan in Tachov. He'll repair it for you, but you'll need a fastening material and 699.5 groschen. You can usually purchase the fastening material from Radovan as well.

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.
