Patience Rewarded by Nature’s Own Grace: Mastering the Wait Emote in Diablo 4’s Secret of the Spring

Diablo IV offers various ways to engage in the main storyline and side missions while exploring the vast world of Sanctuary. One of these quests, the Secret of the Spring, is particularly intriguing and challenging. Although finding and completing this quest can be difficult, it is certainly not impossible. Fear not, as we have all the information you need to navigate through this quest and solve its riddle in Diablo 4.

Updated on June 23, 2023, by Madison Benson: This update includes additional details on how to use emotes and the rewards you’ll receive.

To initiate the Secret of the Spring quest, head north of Kyovashad until you reach Kylsik Plateau. On a mountain ledge just below the Forsaken Quarry dungeon, you’ll come across a Discarded note on the ground, marking the beginning of the quest. Reading the note reveals the following passage:

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

After reading the note, you’ll notice a small blue circle northeast of your location on the map. This indicates the presence of a water pool. Now, the key is to decipher what to do upon arriving at the pool. Don’t fret; I myself spent around 10 minutes here before realizing the solution.

However, the clue lies within the riddle itself – patience is the virtue you must embody.
