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.

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

          re: 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

              I 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.

                NIGHTREIGN: 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

                    What 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

                    • 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.

                        I 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.

                          I'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

                            it'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

                              I'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

                                I 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

                                  How 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?

                                    "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?

                                      I'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.

                                        Are 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?

                                          Why 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??

                                            If you defeated DLC final boss without dying to their grab at all, you still receive Let Us Go Together gesture when the boss dies

                                                                Since 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

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

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.

                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                        "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

                                                                            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...

                                                                              • Anonymous

                                                                                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

                                                                                • Anonymous
