Starting Warding Off Evil Task¶
Head to 
The Emperor Charles Tavern which is located in the northwest of Kuttenbergand speak with Johann Parlar to learn that he is worried about something happening to the Church of Saint Barbara and has a job for you. He would like you to craft a Protective Axe which is forged out of talismans that are scattered around Kuttenberg.

The Holy Nail can be found by heading to the city’s northernmost entrance to find a row of houses and you’ll want to enter the fifth one along.
