The Diablo 4 Keeping The Old Traditions side quest features a riddle that isn't especially clear but you'll need an emote to solve it. This is just like several other quests in Diablo 4 that require specific emotes to be performed, so make sure you apply this logic elsewhere too! Start the Keeping The Old Traditions quest by heading to the Valley of the Strayed within the Dry Steppes region, then interact with the Lonely Offering item to begin the mysterious side quest. Here's exactly what you ned to do to solve the riddle of the Keeping the Old Traditions side quest in Diablo 4.

Now that you've begun the Keeping the Old Traditions Diablo 4 side quest in the Dry Steppes, head to the highlighted area on the map just to the west of the Lonely Offering to find a large stone altar, and it is here that you need to complete the quest. You'll find that the inscription features the following cryptic message:
"Though timeworn, you endure. Before your colorful kin, I say: Yes, I keep our traditions!"

To solve the riddle and complete the Keeping the Old Traditions side quest, you need to perform the 'Yes' Diablo 4 emote. However, you might need to assign this emote first as it isn't initially attached to your emote wheel. To get to it, tap D-Pad Up to bring up the emote wheel, then follow the Customize prompt to bring up the full list of emotes. Scroll down and select "Yes", then assign it to one of the emote wheel segments.

Finally, perform the "Yes" emote in front to the shrine and a Hidden Chest will emerge from the ground to the right. Open it to receive a couple of Elixirs, and more importantly complete the Diablo 4 Keeping The Old Traditions side quest.
