How to solve the Secret of the Spring riddle in Diablo 4

To solve the Secret of the Spring riddle in Diablo 4, you must follow the quest marker towards the spring and use the "Wait" emote.

To use emotes, simply tap the E key on PC or hit up on the D-Pad on consoles.

If you've heard people talking about the Secret of the Spring quest and have yet to find it yourself, this is a side quest that you'll find in the Frigid Expanse region of the Fractured Peaks (to the North of Kyovashad). You'll come across a letter that reads "Beacon of warmth in winter's embrace, patience rewarded by nature's own grace."

While the riddle might seem a bit confusing, it is simply a prompt meant to teach you how to use emotes in Diablo 4. There are a few of these quests early on - upon first arriving in Kyovashad, another side quest will prompt you to use the "Cheer" emote at some guards.

While Secret of the Spring might not have an in-depth mystery to solve, at least it'll net you some easy XP, Gold, and a chest full of loot.
