How to Gesture in Elden Ring?
Gestures are as important as Dodge Rolls and the Message System in FromSoftware RPGs. What would the Dark Souls community look like now if the Praise The Sun emote didn't exist? Gestures were thankfully brought back for Elden Ring, coupled with a robust new multiplayer system and a streamlined method of doing them. Although gestures are mostly used to communicate with players, some can elicit a response from NPCs in Elden Ring and even access secret locations.
What are Gestures in Elden Ring?
Gestures are the message system's main feature, and they are the primary method of communication if players opt to play multiplayer. Gestures are referred to as 'Emotes' in common game terminology, which implies they are specific animations or motions that run for a few seconds and convey a message to other players.
They may be made anywhere, at any time, and you can even utilize them to leave notes for other players. Players begin with a large number of Gestures, more than in any preceding FromSoftware game, that can be slotted and executed at their leisure. Essentially, a ghostly replica of your character is created to perform the Gesture.
How to perform a Gesture in Elden Ring?
Open the player menu by hitting Start to execute a Gesture. There are two sections on the right side of the screen, one for your bag items and one for Gestures. By navigating to this section using the D-pad, users will be able to perform one of six Gestures. Then, hit A (or X) to execute the specified Gesture.
Select a Gesture and hit Y (or Triangle) to bring up the customizing options. Users may see a visual list of all the Gestures you've unlocked on your character here. Once you've found the Gesture you want to substitute the original with, simply press A to select it and you'll be returned to the menu.
How to unlock Gestures in Elden Ring?
Gamers start with quite a few gestures by default, and can unlock even more gestures by just exploring, as there are a total of 46 gestures in Elden Ring. To obtain more Gestures, simply continue playing the game, as they can be found lying around the world as shining white spheres, that frequently signify objects, or resources, and also receive them for beating opponents or chatting with NPCs. A few that can be found across the world in Elden Ring are:
Calm Down! : Obtained after seeing Patches in Murkwater Cave.
Casual Greeting: Acquired by summoning Great Horned Tragoth prior to the boss encounter Magma Wyrm Makar or within the Starscourge Radahn arena.
Bravo! : Achieved by interacting with the message beneath White Mask Varre's initial location.
Strength! : A ledge in the Stranded Graveyard can be found.
Triumphant Delight: Obtained after you help Iron Fist Alexander get unstuck from the ground in Stormhill.
Fancy Spin: Unlocked by calling the Spirit Jellyfish Ashes next to another Spirit Jellyfish within the Stargazer's Ruins.
Nod in Thought: Given by Sorceress Sellen if you consent to become her apprentice.
Finger Snap: Provided by Merchant Kale when asked about the howling at Mistwood Ruins.
Heartwarming Cry: Given to the player upon conversing with Witch-Hunter Jerren at Redmane Castle.
Erudition: Deliver Thops the Academy Glintstone Key (Used to gain access to Converted Towers)
Unlocking new content using Gestures in Elden Ring
Although gestures are mostly used to communicate between players, some can elicit a response from NPCs in Elden Ring and even access secret locations. Currently, the Elden Ring community has discovered two spots that may be unlocked with a gesture; both require the Erudition gesture and are located in Liurnia of the Lakes.
Blaidd's questline
Blaid may be found by tracking the wolf howls to the Mistwood Ruins. Initially, he will be very high off the ground atop the ruins and can't be interacted with until players learn the Finger Snap gesture from merchant Kale, one of Elden Ring's wandering merchants, at the Church of Elleh. Following that, players can approach Blaidd and make that motion, causing him to jump down and speak with them.
Grovel for mercy to Patches
Patches can be discovered near the Murkwater River in Murkwater Cave, and players will eventually confront Patches as a boss fight inside the cave. He will surrender after losing around 75% of his HP, and if players cease attacking him, they will earn the Grovel for Mercy gesture.
After befriending him, if players attack him again, he will tell them to surrender when they are low on health, at which point gamers can use the Grovel for Mercy gesture to induce him to stop attacking. This will provide players the Extreme Repentance gesture.
Converted Tower and the Converted Fringe Tower
The Converted Tower is located in the southwest section of the map, and it is as simple as doing the Erudition gesture in front of the statue in the center of the tower to spawn a magical staircase that leads to one of Elden Ring's Memory Stones.
The Inverted Converted Tower, in contrast, has a magically locked door that must be released by performing the Erudition gesture while wearing one of the numerous Glintstone Crowns.
