Secret of the Spring Walkthrough reveals that the red star marks the location of an Altar of Lilith, which is a welcome addition along the way. Interact with the Note That Was Thrown Away (Step 1)On the ground, you will find a note that has been crumpled up. Read by interacting with the device. You will receive the following message, which is very cryptic:Beacon of warmth in the embrace of winter, patience rewarded by grace bestowed by nature itself.

This is another Action Wheel or Emote quest similar to "Raising Spirits" or "Traveler's Prayer," but there is a key distinction between the three. When you completed those two quests, the necessary emote was already on one of the game's default wheels. The emote that you require for the part of the puzzle that rewards you for your patience — Wait — is not given to you when you play Secret of the Spring. To access your Action Wheel or Emotes, press the E button. To customize the wheel, click the button located below it. Check out the tab labeled Emotes. Wait will appear to have the status of Not Assigned by default. Choose Wait, and then click and drag the circle down until it fits into one of the open spots on your wheel (you can choose a different wheel by using the scroll button on your mouse). Simply assign it by clicking on the blank space. You can also replace it by dragging it over an emote that you don't use and dropping it there. Simply clicking the Save Changes button will bring you out of the Customize interface. Repeat pressing E to unlock the wheel.

Click the Wait button that you have been given while you are still standing next to the spring. This video walks you through the complete procedure for utilizing the Action Wheel, including:

Step 3: Open the Buried Chest When you have successfully completed the part of the quest that requires patience, a Buried Chest will appear nearby for you to open. You must crack open the chest in order to finish the quest and claim your rewards.
