Gestures | Dark Souls
Gestures are emotes in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered. Performing these actions allows players to convey their feelings to other players or NPCs. Some gestures are available from the start of the game, while others must be unlocked by learning them from Characters. Use Triangle / Y to equip and arrange gestures at the menu.
On the Playstation 3 version of the game, you can hold the X button and use the Six-Axis controller to perform gestures. Also you can press SELECT and the gesture menu will pop up, then highlight the gesture you want and press X or A for PlayStation and Xbox respectively.
- WARNING: When you are using a gesture you cannot move/attack until the gesture is finished, use at your own peril.
