The new morphic tool really helps on the part where you have to get a dramen branch from entrana. You can sneak the clay onto the island and turn it into an axe once you get there. It's a lot easier than killing tons of zombies with your fists to get a bronze axe.

 

 

 

P.S.

 

If any mods are reading this, it might be helpful to put this info in the quest guide...

Wow, that's an epic idea! Can you wield it as a weapon too?

You sure can \

Tons? No, bronze axe is a really common drop.

 

 

 

Maging works better anyways.
