Initiating The Axe From the Lake Quest

You'll discover this intriguing mission by visiting Tachov's tavern and engaging with local gossip Zdenyek the Mouth. Simply request "something informative" from the chatty NPC, and he'll regale you with tales of a legendary weapon hidden beneath the waters. With this knowledge, your treasure hunt begins.

Locating the Sunken Artifact

Preparation is key for this expedition - don't set out without a spade in your inventory. While these digging tools commonly appear in burial grounds, visiting local merchants provides a reliable alternative if you're coming up empty-handed.

The search area appears daunting at first, but focus on the lakeside pier to start your investigation. Traveling north along the shoreline, watch for distinct landmarks like an unusually healthy tree and a prominent boulder - both trigger Henry's observant commentary.

Your efforts culminate at an unmarked gravesite nestled against a tree. Excavate this spot to uncover:

• A precious gemstone
• Silver ring
• Bundle of marigolds
• The broken legendary axe

Restoring the Broken Weapon

The shattered relic requires master craftsmanship to regain its former glory. Visit blacksmith Radovan in Tachov for restoration, though prepare both financially (699.5 groschen) and materially (Fastening Materials component). The blacksmith typically stocks these metalworking supplies if you need to purchase them.

Once transformed into the magnificent Adorned Axe, return to Zdenyek to complete your contract. The weapon becomes yours to wield - a fitting reward for your archaeological efforts.
