Diablo 4, the popular hack-and-slash action RPG, is renowned for its action-packed quests that send out players to dangerous dungeons and vicious terrains. However, several quests require players to take a different approach instead of the regular rushing and killing, with the Secret of the Spring side quest being one of the most notable.

The tricky side quest provides a weird task to interact with a hot spring. Moreover, you need to solve a cryptic riddle to complete the side quest. Let’s explore how to start the Secret of the Spring side quest, its location, and how to solve the riddle at the end to successfully complete the quest.

The quest takes place in Fractured Peaks, north of Kyovashad, near the Forsaken Quarry dungeon. Once you reach the area, look for a blue exclamation mark at the location to find a discarded note. Interact with the note to begin the side quest.

This pops up a parchment with the note “Beacon of warmth in winter’s embrace, patience rewarded by nature’s own grace”. Follow the quest marker, which leads you to a small hot spring. Once you reach the quest area, clear out the enemies to proceed further with the quest.

How to Solve the Riddle in Secret of the Spring Side Quest in Diablo 4

At the quest marker location, examine the note again and carefully read the riddle. The phrase “patience rewarded by nature’s grace” hints that you must be patient. However, standing still patiently will not solve the puzzle, instead, you need to use an emote to interact with the hot spring. 

The Wait emote is the key to solving this riddle, as it is the closest to representing ‘Patience’. However, it is not assigned by default. To use it, open the emote wheel, and customization menu, assign the ‘Wait’ emote to your emote wheel, and save the changes. 

Now, stand before the hot spring and perform the Wait emote. A buried chest will pop up near the hot spring. Interacting with the chest rewards you with 20 Fractured Peaks Renown, XP points, and completes the side quest.
