A intriguing puzzle known as The Secret of the Spring leads Diablo 4 Beta players to a chest full of decent stuff and lots of experience.

The frozen meadows of the Fractured Peaks in Diablo IV's Beta contain several mysteries, including The Secret of Spring puzzles that players may figure out how to answer. A cryptic turn of phrase with a far from apparent answer, this puzzle and side mission rewards players with treasure and XP when finished. However, while reading The Secret of Spring for the first time, players may struggle to discern precisely what the game wants since, unlike many other missions, it does not provide a clear guidance.

To find this side mission, players must go to the Kylslik Plateau, which is located west of the Frigid Expanse. Traveling north from Kyovashad's eastern exit puts players on the correct track, heading to a region of the map marked with two ascending symbols pointing to a higher height. Players that are attempting to achieve level 25 as quickly as possible in Diablo IV may come upon this place by chance. The quest begins when players collect the Discarded Note item on a platform above the dungeon accessible through a nearby ladder.

Diablo IV's Secret of Spring Riddle Solution

The quest marker that emerges after taking the Discarded Note leads to a magical spring of water deep beneath the mountains. "Beacon of warmth in winter's embrace, patience rewarded by nature's own grace," the riddle states. Many readers may be perplexed by this. The solution to this conundrum, however, is the word "patience," which relates to the wait emote from the Action Wheel. Players may bring up many alternatives by pressing "E" on PC or similar input for controllers, which they may have used to rapidly depart dungeons throughout their adventures.

Opening the wheel and picking wait causes the player's character to remain motionless for a few seconds, which may not have been feasible during the game's typical actions. Waiting near the spring for this amount of time allows a chest to emerge from the water, which players may open for money, treasure, and earned XP. Although the goods obtained by solving The Secret of Spring riddle are wonderful additions to the Beta, players will not be able to bring these awards into Diablo 4's commercial release.

Finally, it seems that WoW players will get a 50% experience and 8% reputation benefit for the length of the event, however the reputation buff will not apply to WoW's soon-to-be-added new Renown faction, the mole-like niffin.

It wouldn't be the first time a crossover between WoW and Diablo occurred. Blizzard previously ran a special Diablo event in World of Warcraft in 2017 to commemorate Diablo's 20th anniversary, which included references to iconic Diablo items like the Horadric Cube and Stone of Jordan, and those who preorder Diablo IV on PC will also receive a demonic mount to use in Blizzard's long-running MMORPG.
