How to solve the Diablo 4 Secret of the Spring quest?

Here’s how to complete the Diablo 4 Secret of the Spring quest and solve the note’s riddle, a puzzling quest step in Kyovashad that'll no doubt catch you out.

Diablo 4 Secret of the Spring quest: A Sorcerer dressed in red robes and a large helmet with horns.

The Secret of the Spring quest in Diablo 4 is perhaps the most confusing quest you’ll encounter early on in the game, though the solution is surprisingly simple. You’ll find a note directing you to a small spring with no further guidance on what to do next. Luckily, here’s how to complete the Diablo 4 Secret of the Spring quest and solve the note’s riddle.

Secret of the Spring is one of many Diablo 4 quests you’ll be able to dig into as you explore the Diablo 4 map. If you’re struggling at the start, don’t forget to pick the right Diablo 4 World Tier for you or recruit the aid of others in Diablo 4 multiplayer if you’re having a hard time.

How to solve the Diablo 4 Secret of the Spring quest riddle?

To solve the Diablo 4 Secret of the Spring quest riddle, use the Wait emote next to the spring. To do this, open the emote menu by pressing E or up on the D-pad.

It’s worth noting that this emote is not in your emote menu by default, so you’ll have to customise this menu to use the Wait emote.

You can start this quest by heading to the abandoned mine near the Forsaken Quarry dungeon northeast of Kyovashad. Here you’ll find a note that will begin the quest, giving you a riddle to solve:

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

When you track the quest from your quest log, it will point you towards a small spring and task you with solving the note’s riddle. No further objectives or information is given beside the riddle so you’re left on your own. Use the above method to solve the riddle and progress this objective. Doing so will reward you with a buried chest containing loot and complete the Secret of the Spring quest.
