The Diablo 4 Traveler's Superstition side quest is one of many that is based around a riddle, which you need to solve by working out the correct emote then performing it at the designated location to collect the reward. By the time you reach this assignment you may already have found solutions for the similar Secret of the Spring, Keeping The Old Traditions, or Reject the Mother side quests, and become familiar with how this all works. The Traveler's Superstition is considerably simpler than those as everything you need for it is in one place, so ironically despite the name you won't need to travel far to tick this one off.

However, you can't access this side quest until you've made significant progress in Act 5 of the Diablo 4 campaign, so don't expect to encounter it until you've been kept busy for a while in the high level Hawezar region to the southeast of the map. Eventually, in the Bosun's Woe area on the east coast of Hawezar, near the series of ships you can leap between, you'll be able to interact with the Hastily Scrawled Note to start the Traveler's Superstition side quest in Diablo 4.

The Traveler's Superstition Diablo 4 side quest begins in Bosun's Woe, the area which is highlighted on the map above on the east side of Hawezar. As mentioned previously, you won't be able to officially start this assignment until you've progressed beyond a certain point in Act 5, but at any time you can interact with the Hastily Scrawled Note weighted down with a rock to find the following missive:

"Pay your respects to her, and she will see you safely on your way. Ignore her, and suffer the fate of these poor fools."

The poor fools in question are the corpses right next to you, surrounding the remains of a ship bow with a statue of a lady on board. It's this effigy that you need to approach, then tap Up on the D-Pad to select and perform the 'Hello' Diablo 4 emote to trigger the next step – this should be at the top of your main emote wheel by default, but if for some reason you've swapped it out then you'll need to use the Customize prompt to get it back.

With the "Hello" emote performed by the statue, a Hidden Chest will appear from the ground nearby. Open it up for a selection of rewards, as well as Gold, XP, and Renown for completing the Diablo 4 Traveler's Superstition side quest.
