Diablo 4: How To Solve Traveler's Prayer - Give Thanks At Shrine

To start the Traveler's Prayer side quest in Diablo 4, head to The Hog's Head in the southern part of the Fractured Peaks zone of Sanctuary. This quest is a level 7+ quest, annotated by the description "a note bearing a pilgrim's wisdom." You can find the note inside the pub on the floor. Once you've picked up the letter, a message will display, reading, "from Yelesna, I set out on my pilgrimage. I offered thanks at a roadside and received a blessing for my journey..." A new objective will appear, instructing you to "give thanks at the shrine."
After leaving The Hog's Head, follow the quest marker to get to the shrine: turn right and run north into the Zeleny Lowlands. Continue running north through the Murmuring Mill, but be cautious as you must take out a mob of Ghouls located there. Once you reach the shrine, open the Emote wheel by pressing E on the keyboard or the up D-pad on your controller, and select "Customize." Assign the "Thanks" emote to the Emote wheel, and then use the emote in front of the shrine to complete the quest. A chest containing Weak Elixir of Poison Resistance and Weak Third Eye Elixir will appear. In addition, you will receive 4896 XP and 1040 gold coins as a reward.

And that's all! That concludes our guide on how to complete the Traveler's Prayer side quest in Diablo 4. Remember, giving thanks at the shrine is just the beginning of the many side quests you can complete using the Emote wheel. Other quests like the Raising Spirits and the Secret of the Spring side quests also utilize this feature.
