How to Find and Unlock All Gestures

There are 33 Gestures included in Dark Souls 3, some are given to you at the start of the game whilst others must be found and unlocked before you can use them. Gestures are like Emotes in other games, making your character perform an aesthetic action or manoeuvre. A classic example is the bow gesture which as you can probably guess makes your character bow down.

As mentioned above, you start with 7 gestures in the game and must find the remaining 26 gestures. One particular gesture will help you reach a secret area of the game (Archdragon Peak, see other guide) whilst other gestures are mostly used for co-op play when you need to signal to other human players or taunt opposing enemies during an invasion.

As an interesting easter egg, you can use gestures in front of the Fire Keeper in the Firelink Shrineroom to receive a response from the NPC.

Ok, here is the complete list of gestures and how to unlock them…

Gesture List and Locations

Beckon
Near the Foot of the High Wall bonfire just talk to Yoel of Londor and he will move to Firelink, then talk to him again there.

Call Over
Exchange a homeward bone with the Crows up above the Firelink Shrine bonfire.

Welcome
Speak with Cornyx in the Undead Settlement and he will move to Firelink Shrine, then talk to him again there.

Applause
Speak with Leonhard when he appears in Firelink Shrine (leaning against the large throne) - he gives you Cracked Red Eye Orbs. Repeat the process again and talk to him - this time he gives you a key to a locked door under the the Tower on the Wall bonfire in High Wall of Lothric. This locked pathway leads to an imprisoned Darkwraith. Kill the Darkwraith to collect the Red Eye Orb and then talk to Leonhard to receive the gesture as a reward.

My Thanks!
Collected from a red phantom invader that is near the bridge to High Lord Wolnir in the Catacombs of Carthus.
