Diablo 4 has multiple bounties and rewards hidden behind small puzzles. One way to get them is by solving riddles on Faded Plaques. These plaques are found on emote statues in Diablo 4 and can be found in different areas of the map, including the Dry Steppes region.
These emote statues present a puzzle to the players, rewarding different mysterious buffs in return. There are many of these Emote Statues in the Sanctuary map, but in this guide, we will only cover those in the Dry Steppes region of Diablo 4.
How to solve Emote Statues puzzle in Diablo 4
These statues, aka Faded Plaques, are available for interacting with the protagonist. Upon doing that, they present the player with an incomplete sentence in a pop-up menu. The speciality among these sentences is the keywords written in Capital alphabets.
Out of the whole sentence, the player has to focus on these capital letters and respond using the emotes in Diablo 4. An appropriate emote will solve the puzzle, rewarding the player with a special buff.
For example, if the sentence contains Give Aid in capital letters, then the correct emote will be Help.
