This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough of "The Axe from the Lake" quest, tips for easily locating the axe, and ensures you're properly equipped to make the most of this adventure.
Starting the Quest: The Tale of the Axe
To begin "The Axe from the Lake," visit the Tachov Inn. Speak with Zdenyek, a local who will share a fascinating legend. This tale is the key to unlocking the quest. After hearing the legend, Zdenyek tasks you with finding the legendary axe, said to be hidden in a nearby lake.
Finding the Axe: Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Once you've accepted the quest, head to the northern edge of the lake. A small wooden pier marks your starting point. While the quest marker will guide you, these detailed steps and landmarks will help you stay on track:
-
Starting at the Wooden Pier (you need to zoom the map to find this location, which is near the quest objective marked with an A) You'll find yourself at the beginning of the search.
-
Follow the Path to the Road: From the pier, take the path leading to the main road, then follow the upward path.
-
The Massive Oak Tree: You'll soon spot a large oak tree. This tree is a significant landmark mentioned in the legend.
-
Look for the Large Rock: Continue down the path until you reach a large rock. This marker confirms you're on the right track. After crossing the small stream, the large rock is on the left side of the path, just before a patch of wildflowers.
-
The Grave and the Axe Head: As you proceed, you'll encounter another tree. Look left, and you'll find a grave. This grave is located slightly off the main path, nestled among some smaller trees. This is where the axe head is buried. Use your shovel to dig it up. Remember, you'll need a shovel in your inventory for this step!
Repairing the Axe: The Forge and Sharpening
The axe head you find is broken and requires restoration. Return to Tachov and find the forge to repair it.
-
Use the Forge to Repair the Axe: The forge is located in the western part of Tachov, near the blacksmith's shop. Use the forge to attach a handle to the axe head. Once repaired, you'll have an Axe with a Quality of 3.
-
Sharpen the Axe for Maximum Efficiency: The sharpening wheel is located next to the forge. Use it to sharpen the axe, maximizing its effectiveness to 100%.
Completing the Quest: Returning to Zdenyek
With your axe repaired and sharpened, return to Zdenyek at the Tachov Inn. Speak with him to complete the quest. He will thank you for retrieving the axe and reward you for your efforts.
