Gestures

Gestures can be used to communicate with other players or activate some in-game events.
The Gesture Menu can be accessed by pressing the Select / Back button.

Initially, only seven Gestures are available, but several more can be unlocked while progressing through the game, most of them by talking to various NPCs.

Acquiring all 33 Gestures unlocks the achievement/trophy "Master of Expressions".

Some gesture change suggestions

Valsagar 29 Feb 2020 01:49

1. Instead of saying the "Beckon" Gesture is received from Yoel of Londor, I suggest you mention that you gain it after using the "talk" option for him.
2. for "Call over" you can use many items, and not just a homeward bone. Some are:
a sacred chime, avelyn (triple-shot crossbow), coiled sword fragment, either blessing item, Eleonora (ax from profaned capital), Loretta's bone (not recommended, greirat is a very good merchant), mendicant's staff, shriving stone, undead bone shard (not recommended unless fully upgraded) and vertebra shackle.
3. for the "welcome" gesture, It should be mentioned that you gain the gesture after talking (not the option) with him after his initial "oh, you saved me, thanks" dialogue.
4. "Quiet Resolve" Is gained after talking to anri after gaining the ring of the evil eye.
5. "Hurrah" Is gained after using the talk option to Andre for the second time.
6. "Prayer" Is gained after touching Irina at her request in the Undead Settlement.
7. It should be mentioned that "Silent Ally" Is gained when using the talk option with him (it may take multiple tries, as he might give the young dragoncrest ring first if you haven't already obtained that from him). This is a package deal with Slumbering dragoncrest ring.
8. Prostration can also be gained if you don't forgive Patches in Firelink Shrine, though only if you did this encounter before the one in cathedral of the deep.

Great guide, though! just needs a little fine-pointing.
