The Secret of the Spring riddle in Diablo 4 is one of the trickiest side quests in the game, so here’s how you can solve it.

Diablo 4 has a lot of quests for you to solve, especially if you’re venturing into the Seasonal Realm. While most of the quests are straightforward, some of them can be downright tricky to figure out.

More often than not, the solutions to these tricky side quests are very simple, because they involve using a simple emote or very basic interactions with a specific item.

The Secret of the Spring quest can be tricky to solve since it will ask players about their knowledge of some PvP interactions. Here’s how to complete the Diablo 4 Secret of the Spring quest, including the answer to the riddle.

Diablo 4 Secret of the Spring riddle solution

The solution to the Diablo 4 Secret of the Spring riddle is the “Wait” emote. Here’s how you can assign and use the emote:

Open the Emote Wheel by hitting ‘E’ on PC or ‘Up’ on console.
Select ‘Customize’ underneath the wheel.
Scroll down to ‘Wait.’
Assign the emote to your preferred spot on the wheel.
Launch the wheel once again, and navigate to the ‘Wait’ emote.
Click on it to use it.

By performing this emote in front of the spring marked on your map, you’ll complete the quest and be rewarded with a treasure chest that provides a random piece of loot.

Diablo 4’s Secret of the Spring riddle says: “Beacon of warmth in winter’s embrace, patience rewarded by nature’s own grace.” The “beacon of warmth” in this case is the hot spring surrounded by snow, while “patience” is represented by the Wait emote.
