Where to Find the Woodsman’s Axe in Diablo 4

After you begin your journey through Sanctuary, arrive at Nevesk and make your way to Kyovashad, there are two routes: either keep moving forward and progress through the main story or backtrack to the first town and see what’s going on.

If you choose the latter and accept the quest to search for the Woodsman’s axe, you’re greeted with a rather large quest circle. It helps narrow down its location, but where do you go from here? That’s the question we’re answering today. If you want to learn more, continue reading to discover where to find the Woodsman’s axe during the Woodsman of Nevesk quest in Diablo 4.

Woodsman’s Axe Location in Diablo 4 – The Woodsman of Nevesk Guide

The Woodsman’s Axe is at the quest circle’s northern point. As you enter Boulder Ridge, go directly north until the circle shrinks, pinpointing its location to a stump with the axe inside. When you do this, you’ll have to defeat a miniboss known as The Woodsman, so be prepared for combat!

Just be careful; you’ll also find monsters everywhere from Nevesk to this point, waiting to defend the axe and wreak havoc on the land. Defeat any enemies you encounter along the way before arriving at this point and picking up the axe from the stump. The Woodsman will appear, and you’ll have to fight this enemy to receive the Woodsman’s Axe as a quest item drop.
