Gestures in Elden Ring are a useful tool to express yourself to other players, some including a vocal performance or making sound. Up to six can be bound to a shortcut menu just below the pouch.
Certain Gestures are involved in unlocking secret areas or equipment. These secrets often come with prompts which allude to, or directly reference, specific gestures. See the Miscellaneous tab of the Secrets page for more information.

Anonymouslove dropping a minor erdtree in front of the summoning pool or on a invanders corpse then using the o' mother gesture. blessings on blessings

Anonymouswow they literally put a T-pose gesture in the game. Are the developers Gen-Z?

Anonymousif you start wordle with 'adieu' youre actually a chop chud

AnonymousAlways point up against one who points down. WE GO UP. NEVER DOWN.

Anonymous"Outer Order" ? Just give me the "Outie Order" gesture instead.

Anonymousre: balled up — you don't need to actually go through rebirth to receive the gesture; either just talking to her or, more likely, specifically *selecting* the 'rebirth' option in her menu gives it to you. whether or not you click/press YES in the pop-up dialog, you already have the gesture, i believe. so literally just leaving the menu (or at least saying NO and leaving) will let the notification appear, of course after rennala talks about this hypothetical fair-and-fine sweeting you could be.
i have the gesture and i have not as of yet 'rebirthed' myself

i like using polite bow after being summoned to a boss fight and literally demolishing the boss, then just make a polite bow… it feels funny

AnonymousI don't know if this is common knowledge but if you receive the pre-order gestures from co-op they don't transfer to your other characters, only the character you receive them on.

AnonymousNIGHTREIGN: Where is "secret" emote for executor? I cant fin't it but I had it couple of days before? Now it's gone. I don't know where it went. I think you get it after completing 8th story line for him

Anonymouslet us go together > obtained after being grabbed by THIS BOSS WHATTHEHELLDUDE I WANT TO SEE HOW CAN I GET THIS PRETTY GESTURE AND THERE IS A ****IBG SPOILER DUDE

Anonymous
AnonymousWhat y'all think if they gave us Rings for buying deluxe edition? A way with coop would still work, but I don't wanna do this every time I create new character

Anonymousthere is no gesture like the one gideon used. literally unplayable

AnonymousCan someone who preordered the base game help me get the "Ring" gesture.

Best Gestures:
1. Spinning rats with mimic veil.
2.Spamming guard button with a heavy weapon.
3. Rapid crouching.
4. Casting a spell without meeting the stats.
5. Using an item on your quickslot that is zero now.
AnonymousI f*cking love dejection with all my heart, it's so stupidly dramatic.
When you do this gesture, your tarnished isn't sad, or downcast, or gloomy. They are INCONSOLABLE. They have watched their parents die in a fire, they have gotten rejected by the love of their live, they have been turned down by their dream job.
There is more emotion in these 3 seconds of animation than there are in entire games. Every time I see it or get to use it I chuckle. I want hosts who summoned me to die so I can use this gesture in front of their corpse. I cannot overstate how much I love this. That is all.
AnonymousI'd love to help someone out and get The Ring, but i'm suspended for 180 days unfortunately. No excuses from me btw xD But if anyone pre-ordered and is also suspended i'd love to help you out and get it. Discord: jrjr72

Anonymousit's been an honor to be a fan of these games since the early 2010s so i can witness firsthand the degradation of good gestures since ds2

AnonymousHold on... is point up a compliment?? I need to test this...

AnonymousI'm not entirely sure how it works but I was able to get Bravo! after talking to Varre at rose church
his message was still at the first step and I just interacted with the message and got the gesture
AnonymousI was so confused when I got the Ring of Miquella gesture after killing Ancient Dragon-Man with a host lol. Never knew you could get it without pre-ordering

AnonymousHow exactly do I get extreme repentance? Do I have to get beaten up by Patches after he returns to Murkwater, meaning I have to do his entire quest from start to finish?

Anonymouslet us go together?? there goes my 100% all collectible items deathless run :/

AnonymousLet us go together is the mark of the Miquellested. Yes it also counts even if you pick it on the ground.

Anonymous"Casual Greeting" being blocked by Mr Horned Man is such a weird thing. I just saw that gesture for the first time in my life today and was like "Huh? That didn't look like a "Wave"."
Low and behold: you must summon the big man for 1 of 2 bossfights, and somehow i managed to NEVER summon him on my 3 characters.
They could at least make sure that he drops it as well upon being murdered for Vulcano Manor, just as a fail safe. I find the default wave so cringe. Who the hell waves like that right in your face?
AnonymousMay the Best Win blocks damage from certain spells/items, just found that out in arena.

AnonymousI'd like to use gestures to manipulate enrmies. You could show yourself sayng "hey"; you could enrage an enemy while you performs the point down gestore before him; you could have 75% chance of being spared by racional enemies if asking for mercy; racional enemies could calm down in 20% of times you used the calm down gesture; starting a fight with some respectful gesture could make the racional enemie 50% likely to don't attack you while you are knocked down or guardbroke since you do the same. My dream.

AnonymousAre there hidden effects to gestures in mp? I was playing recently and someone did erudition at me while we were both wearing glintstone crowns and i got a small aura buff of some kind?

AnonymousWhy does 'Let Us Go Together' say it can be picked up inside the arena after the fight? WHERE? Is this just fake info someone made up??

AnonymousIf you defeated DLC final boss without dying to their grab at all, you still receive Let Us Go Together gesture when the boss dies
Good job I guess
Anonymousif i see an invader or host use the ring or ring of miqela preorder emote i open up the engine and spawn items in their inventorys get banned nerds

AnonymousAlmost got charmed. Managed to open task manager and force close the application. Not risking my main toon getting miquella'd.

AnonymousStill no Shake Off Cape to complement all the caped armor sets.
I'mma turn into Edna Mode at this point.

AnonymousAlways acknowledge summoned phantoms with a gesture. So they know you’re watching them.

AnonymousWe've had the game for two and a half years and still we don't sit at the grave in the same way as the last "sitting" gesture we used, like dozing cross-legged, or sitting sideways, or patches' gopnik squat, and i feel like the only person who cares

AnonymousIf someone could help me out get The Ring gesture that'd be fantastic! Steam is Bossu72.

Anonymous
Anonymousnever played this game on PS5 but it seems like a terrible idea to put gestures on motion controls idk whose idea that was

AnonymousI went afk whilst i left the resting emote on and when i came back it had the icon in the top left as though i had eaten a golden or silver pickled fowl. Anyone know anything about that?

AnonymousUs not getting the pose that Freyja does when she stands by the second bonfire (she holds her hands on top of her swords hilt while balancing the blade upright from the ground) is a serious offense.

Anonymous
Anonymoussuccessfully avoided acquiring Let Us Go Together. miss me with that ga-

AnonymousGolden order totallity inner order and outer order are some real ginyu force type ****

AnonymousCan I get the controversial emote Queelign makes when you summon him?

AnonymousYou can be the catgirl you always wanted to be with the Two Fingers gesture.

AnonymousI got ring of miquella randomly while i was summoned online as i didn't preorder the dlc, i bought it after it came out.

AnonymousGesture bros we got truly Michael Zaki’d this DLC. 5 gestures and 1 of them locked to preorder, most aren’t even that good. No additions to the text messages either. It’s so Joever we never even started

AnonymousAn invader confuse so much, he throw fetid pot and then bow, WHAT IS GOING ON???!!!

AnonymousWhat if there is gonna be another dlc to complete the elden ring circles? we have the top circle and left circle all we need now is the right circle

AnonymousThe Two Fingers gesture is actually Bao's gesture that you get from Blaidde

Anonymousthe two fingers Gesture can be found in the ER map at -111.765 : 150.250

AnonymousSince the statue that has the O mother gesture (which I think is actually Marika's mother) is headless might have been the result of the same execution done to Midra. Since this method was mainly on the 'damned', reinforces the idea that Marika people were the "condemned" that became "saints" by being stuffed in jars. These "saints" may have been what was referenced in the DLC trailer "they were never saints. they just happened to be on the other side of the war".

Anonymous
AnonymousThe Two Fingers gesture can be found directly west of the headless coffin at the Finger Ruins of Dheo

Anonymousanyone else not get Ring of Miquella gesture after pre-ordering ?

Anonymous
AnonymousI pre-ordered the game, usually i invade people but, these days i keep spamming co-op so everyone will have Elden Ring and Ring of Miquella gesture, one day this game will die out and i'm not gonna let you miss this 2 funny gesture!

AnonymousThe Two Fingers gesture is obtained from a corpse assuming the position, located northeast of the Fingerstone Hill grace behind a stone finger laid on its side. If you are having trouble finding it, look slightly East of the Fallingstar Beast in the same area, at the base of the cliff.

Anonymous
AnonymousIf you T pose, Imma break out the whip cause the gesture gives me “punish me” DBMS vibes

AnonymousThe Bravo gesture is messed up, so easy to miss, who decides to go back to the start after killing Godrick for no reason instead of exploring the new area? At least it doesn't have any utility unlike the Bull-Goat set which you can miss by just exploring the Manor and running into Rykard too soon.

AnonymousMan, I gotta say I get really pissed with the gestures you can easily miss because you gotta do something completely out of your way at an specific time in order to get it.
"Bravo" is the biggest offender on this. Going back to the very beginning of the game to get it is fine by me. But you MUST do it after seeing the Two Fingers and BEFORE exploring too much of Liurnia, or it's gone forever! Ffs man... Had to go to NG+ with my first char just because of that.
There's also the "Calm down" from patches that is gone forever if you don't come back after being teleported.
Also the "Hoslow Oath" that my level 10 coop character missed. If that NPC sniffed near me I'd die on that level, so I went so aggressive on him on every try that I actually never allowed him to do the emote, and didn't even remember there was one until I got him...
Anonymous
AnonymousTriumphant Delight can also be obtained from helping Alexander get unstuck when he is in Liurnia

Anonymousgetting softlocked out of stuff like this is so annoying. I did the Patches quest but forgot to return to him after the chest it seems, now cant get the calm down emoji until NG+ on a base lvl onlineplay character...

This might be a long shot, but if anyone still has a code for "The Ring" gesture on Xbox I'd be willing to buy it.

Anonymous
AnonymousThe Ring from pre-order main game.
Ring of Miquella from pre-order dlc1.
there should be another one emote that go opposite way from Ring of Miquella to make full Elden Ring.
you know what that mean...
AnonymousYou can get casual greeting from summoning Great Horned Tragoth for the Draconic Tree Sentinel too

Anonymousoh I was wondering where did I get "The Ring" gesture from, I see now, it'll be the same for the DLC gesture I assume

AnonymousMissing requirement to get My Lord from Boc: You must have one alterable piece of armor before you can give him the needle.
Just tried it prior to posting april 23, 2024.
Went to Boc with Golden Needle in Altus Plateau, but did not have demigod chest equipment. Wasn't given the dialogue choice to give it to him. I had beaten Radahn by that point so I bought the chest armor and went back to Boc, was able to give the needle to him
AnonymousNeed a gesture that conveys "confusion" for times when I don't understand what the **** is the Host actually trying to do.
