How to Solve the Secret of the Spring Quest’s Emote Note Riddle in Diablo 4

To start the Secret of the Spring quest, travel north of Kyovashad until you reach Kylsik Plateau. On a mountain ledge, just below the Forsaken Quarry dungeon, you will find a Discarded note on the ground indicating the start of the mission. Reading it reveals the following passage:

“Beacon of warmth in winter’s embrace, patience rewarded by nature’s own grace.”

After you read the note, you will see a small blue circle northeast of this spot on your map. Go here to find a pool of water. The tricky part here is figuring out what to do once you arrive at the pool of water. Don’t worry; I stood around here for about 10 minutes before cluing in on what I had to do.

However, the secret is in the riddle. You will have to be patient.

More specifically, you must use the Wait emote to show patience. By doing this, you’ll find a hidden chest with some upgrade materials as rewards, ending the quest and giving you a small amount of Renown.

The exact steps to equip the emote and finish the Secret of the Spring quest are as follows:

  1. Press E on your keyboard or the up arrow on your controller. You will see an emote wheel and customize button appear.
  2. Enter the customization menu and scroll through until you see the Wait emote.
  3. Equip Wait onto the wheel, save your changes and use it while standing next to the pool of water to reveal a treasure chest.
