Starting The Axe From the Lake Quest

To begin this intriguing quest, travel to the tavern in Tachov and seek out an NPC called Zdenyek the Mouth. When conversing with him, select the dialogue option requesting informative stories - this will trigger his tale about a legendary axe submerged in a nearby lake, officially starting your adventure.

Locating the Hidden Axe

Preparation is key before setting out - ensure you acquire a spade as you'll need to excavate a burial site. These digging tools are commonly found in graveyards or available for purchase from local merchants.

Spade required for the quest

With your spade secured, follow your quest marker to the lake's pier area. Travel north along the shoreline until you spot an intact tree triggering Henry's observation. Continue until encountering a distinctive boulder that prompts another comment. The trail will ultimately lead you to an unmarked grave beneath a tree where excavation yields:

  • Gemstone
  • Silver Ring
  • Marigold x5
  • Broken Axe

Restoring the Ancient Weapon

Return to Tachov's blacksmith Radovan to commission repairs for your discovery. The restoration requires a Fastening Material component and 699.5 groschen - both obtainable from Radovan's shop. Once restored as the Adorned Axe, complete your mission by reporting back to Zdenyek. The weapon becomes a permanent addition to your arsenal.
