Update, February 8, 2025: The article has been revised and updated.

How do I get the quest “Preserving ancient traditions“? To receive the side quest, you need to go to the area “The Untamed Heights” in the Dry Steppes. The waypoint in that area is called “Jirandai”. You will see the quest marker to the east as soon as you enter the area.

After fighting past the skeleton archers, spiders, and spider hosts, you will find a book at the quest marker. When you interact with the note, a text will appear. Once you close it, you will receive the task “Show the ancient statue that you preserve traditions.”

You will find the quest in the area “The Untamed Heights” in the Dry Steppes – our interactive map is happy to help.

Preserving ancient traditions: Solution

How do I solve the quest “Preserving ancient traditions”? North-west of the point where you accepted the quest, a circle will appear marking the location – a statue carved into the rock.

Use the “Yes” emote in front of the statue to complete the quest. However, the emote is not available in your emote wheel by default. Below, you will find out how to customize your wheel.

Upon arriving at the statue, you use the “Yes” emote.

How to use and switch emotes? Here are the buttons for mouse and keyboard as well as controller:

  • Keyboard: Open the emote menu with “E”
    • Use the mouse wheel to switch the emote tab
  • Controller: Open the emote menu with “D-Pad Up”
    • Use L1/R1 or LB/RB to switch the emote tab

Once you are in the emote menu, press “Triangle” or “Y” on the controller, or select “Customize” with the mouse. In this menu, you can swap out your emotes:

On an empty emote slot, you can equip new emotes of your choice if necessary.

What do emotes bring? In Diablo 4, actions are not only meant for communication among players. You can interact with certain shrines or leave dungeons with the emote wheel.

Some shrines provide you with different and sometimes crazy bonuses. Interact with the shrines for a hint on the sought emote. The shrines do not improve your gameplay but provide gold bonuses and the like:

The “Hello” emote makes you invisible for a short time in this case. The shrine is located in the “Grasslands of Kotama” (Dry Steppes).

Quests and shrines often obscure which specific emote you need for the solution. However, the puzzles are usually not particularly difficult.
