Gestures | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

I use point down BEFORE fights, as a way of saying "this spot is either my grave or your grave,choose"

Submit

One of the many things that I find absolutely irritating are how so many tutorials online for ds3, Elden Ring, etc are thow they don't actually explain what the hell something is. WHAT DOES THIS DO??? Is it just a gestue? Does it have any value? Jesus.

Submit

Forgot to grab proper bow AGAIN! I'm going to get the damned rings achievement before I get the one for gestures.

Submit

Well, what is it?

Submit

PRAISE THE SUN !!!
First time i get it, i do the gesture in real life, and i feel like my health is better than ever, my shoulder and eldbow "crack", and i feel much better.
Then... I do it 100 times per days since then.
Thanks ds3

Submit

Rested at all the bonfires in the game and still somehow missing the Rest gesture.... this is the last thing I need to get all achievements fml

Submit

stretch out right under the fire keeper's dress

Submit

call over gesture isnt from any first trade, it has to be a homeward bone

Submit

Why do you need to fail Sirris’s quest line just to get the achievement? Really weird design choice

Submit

'By my sword' when equipping fist-type weapons (or simply bare hands) looks like the standing 'Toast' gesture

Submit

Me on my to jump into oncoming traffic because someone pointed down at my virtual corpse.

Submit

"applause" claps too quickly for the moments it is usually used for.

Submit

And now I am only missing proper bow….

Submit

Prayer is vibing to some gud musik i guess

ds3 players on their way to complain about ****ing gestures

Submit

Hello DS3 player, I am come to you for a little favour, and I will carry this message to everywhere in DS3 community.
There is a glitch that allows you to summon white sign mad phantom in Gael’s Arena (Credit to Dashingsaint), if you keep Shira alived while she invade you (you can escape her simply sprint out her aggro range), you won’t trigger gael boss cutscene, and then you could put down you purple summon white sign or summon other white purple.
Thus, a new fight club is founded, an arena in a long lost dessert under the sunset sky which sprinkle with fainted galaxy.
If you’re watching this, kindly please help me share this and invite any ds3 enthusiast you known to this new fight club, your little effort would be much appreciated.
SL25+2, SL40+4, SL60+6, SL72+8, SL90+10, SL125 Meta, SL 351++, all SL range are acceptable.
Welcome to the Gael’s Sunset Arena, the most beautiful map in the entire series, the last arena at the End of World.
I will await you there, in the End of the World, and we shall fight eternal, shiny and incandescence.
LONG MAY THE DARK SOULS COMMUNITY LIVE

You won't get "Call over" if you just trade with Pump-a-rum. It's either both Pump-a-rum and Pickle Pee or only the latter.

Submit

On the off chance that someone sees this comment and finally answers my question for certain, since it's technically in the game files, if I enable Unmannered Bow will other players be able to see it if I use it online?

Submit

DS2 has better animations

Submit

**** zodiac signs, what's your favorite bow emote?

Submit

Since stealth is going to be a thing in the Elden Ring I feel like we are going to see teabagging as the ultimate disrespect.

Submit

quite literally not a gesture but couldn't find any better page so:

what's the reason some players kick after killing you in a duel? does it happen accidentally, do they think of it as a form of disrespect, or what? lol

Submit

Gestures
is it 'g' as in 'jest' , or
is it 'g' as in 'guest' ?

Submit

the lack of the "no way" gesture from DS2 is big disappointment, we don't have any emote that expresses negation in DS3 and it's sorely lacking

Submit

Is there a way to signal "come on man, I'm just trying to get to the boss, can you just not right now?" I don't expect it to work, but I'm a noob and all invaders seem to very much not be, and I'd love to at least attempt to communicate that I don't want to waste a precious ember getting my ass kicked by an invader.

Submit

Hey, is point up considered a offensive gesture?
I use this more as a joke since my character is a Cleric but I never considered what the opponents thought of it

Submit

Using stretch out gesture inside certain places in road of sacrifices can potentially hide you

Submit

My fav gesture is when you spam the block button, bonus points if you are 2 handing a weapon, especially a staff. :P

Submit

Where are the comments

Submit

Point down at me all you like but nothing gets me more than the players who refuse to gesture at all in the arena and just stand there until their opponent finishes gesturing. How insecure do you have to be to act like this? Maybe they find it dumb or even cringe? I don’t know man but even players who try attack you during a gesture don’t phase me as much because you know they’re trying to get people salty even if it’s in a lame lazy way.

Submit

Whenever I see an enemy or player get backstabbed/riposted I always quickly run over to do the point down gesture. Doesn't matter if you're friend or foe you're gettin pointed at

Submit

My thanks! should play a screech

Submit

i forgot to talk to yole and now i don't have the beckon gesture. big sad, it's the best one to use against a cowardly gank squad.

Submit

Elden Ring better have the point down

Submit

Stretch out gesture is OP.

Not even joking, for trolling invasions and invaders this is the best. Hide under water and kill line of sight. Gesture persists until cancelled manually.

When being invaded- pair this with rapport and make the red phantom soil their pants when a Corvian knight or cathedral knight reduces them to dust unexpectedly.

Submit

You can get the toast gesture from lapp

Submit

I wish more of the DS2 gestures were in the game. Would allow for so much more communication. But we still have cringey “welcome”.

Submit

Quiet resolve is so ****ing cringe lmao

Submit

"Lol let's put 43848234820 different bows instead of doing cool and new stuff yeah that's a great idea" - the braindead DS3 team

Submit

bowing to tryhards and metamancers is the more disrespectful thing to do because it implies that they didn't even piss you off enough for you to give a point down

Submit

to obtain silent ally you don't need to buy hidden body

Submit

The emote is miss most is well what is it but atleast welcome is basicly the same but you dont walk forward

Submit

Best gesture is Proper Bow while wearing Fire Witch Armor and Dancer's Leggings. :3

Submit

Why so many unnecessary gestures? The only one that I need is the point down cuz I'm OP. Plus, they should make "dropping dung pie" a gesture as I also used it alot with my pkcs.

Submit

What there's other gestures than point down? huhhhh???

Submit

They went from giving us gestures like well what is it and look skyward to removing ones like unmannered bow before release. I’m not sure why they would want DS3 to be so much softer and friendlier than the others but it is a real shame.

Submit

How do you spin while gesturing

Submit

Point down is the meta XD

Submit

Patches Squat is the best gesture in this game and you can't convince me otherwise

Submit

I wish they put the roar gesture from bloodborne in here

Submit

Why the **** does the "prayer" emote bob around like that?

Submit

wait how does fire keeper know what emotes you do If she is blind.

Submit

people who point down have smoll pp

Submit

For the 'By My Sword' gesture, you receive it as soon as you summon Black Hand Gotthard for either Pontiff or Watchers, no need to take them into the fight or win the boss fight with them

Submit

ahh yes the point down gesture only time I use it is when a player decides to be a **** and straight attack after being summoned for a duel hello friend we bow or gesture before we duel lol or when they heal at pontif arena knowing the have a huge estus advantage

Submit

This is the last achievement I need and the only one I don’t have is the proper bow from yellowfinger because I always do the deacons before the watchers. Fml

Submit

Point down is definitely the most toxic emote in the game, I personally only do it if my combatant does something that genuinely pisses me off, like attack while we're toasting. It's pretty aggravating when someone points down on you after getting ganked.

Submit

Collapse is hands down, the second best gesture after praising the sun. I just love it when people does it in pvp if they kill me.

Submit

Trolls all over the wiki, you’ll be one of them sooner or later.

Submit

You receive 'Call Over' not from the first trade. You have to trade a specific item, one would be a Homeward Bone.

Submit

Them: pointing down is for people with no skill

Also them : this guy couldn’t kill my gank squad I’m going to point down at him now

Submit

I’m trash at this game

Submit

I cringe internally when I bow and people reply with legion etiquette or silent resolve.

Submit

Make you help the opponents you defeat by using point down

You gotta let them know where their bloodstain is cause even the brightest of us forget sometimes

Submit

I played 1,000+ hrs of DS3 and never had any idea about the "Hurrah!" gesture until now. XD

Submit

Is call over only given with the crow on the top of the roof?

Submit

cum

Submit

anyone want to trade gestures from some fortnite v-bucks?

Submit

Ah yes, applause. Perhaps the only gesture that can rival the disrespect of pointing down.

Submit

I have to point down, those peasants need to learn their place.

Submit

I just discovered this, and dont think ive seen it ever mentioned or shown. If you use the sleep gesture next to the fire keeper she will not react, but when you end the gesture it will surprise her and she jolts slightly. Small details

Submit

I know pointing down is largely hated upon but I just do it cause its funny lol

Submit

Opponent: *exists*
Fighter P.L: p o i n t d o w n

Submit

I don't like how gestures work in this game because I can no longer kick people out of bows, they just roll away.

Submit

Would be nice if some of these gestures had an explanation to them, for example the silent ally pose

Submit

best Giantdad cosplay i've seen is the welcome gesture, exile mask, Gundyr's chestpiece, gauntlets, and leggings, zweihander, grass crest shield, havel's ring, ring of favor, chloranthy ring ( for the fourth ring do what you want but i recommend either ring of steel protection or life ring for extra tankiness).

Submit

I feel like there need to be more varied gestures and fewer bows; I mean, isn't one bow good enough?

I'd like some sort of gesture to communicate "yes" or "no" concepts, as well as some more of the friendly gestures, like the toast.

Submit

Unforgivable sin: Legion Etiquette with Farron Greatsword equip removes the dagger from going over the wrist like the boss cutscene

Submit

An eternal curse upon FROMSoftware I declare, for not letting us get the standing toast gesture.

Submit

I miss the shrug and looking skyward gestures from ds1, there are many online encounters I had that those gestures would useful for. Seriously

Submit

Nothing quite like spending 7+ hours trying to make a gif for a wiki page

Submit

I know point downs are frowned upon, but if i spank 3 gonkers at once, they deserve it.

Submit

Remember how you have to buy gestures now in other games

Submit

The way you get some of these is so convoluted and ridiculous. I'm looking at you, Pale Shade.

Submit

I know this place may not be the best question to ask this but I have a specific question in mind. I'm trying to get the platinum trophy for DARK SOULS 3, on two of the trophies are "Master of Expression" and "Master of Rings". Here is what I wanted to ask.
-Is the best solution to first complete gathering all gestures? If I do so, I wound be able to receive the Silver Cat ring from Sirris since I would have to join the Rosaria covenant to receive the "Proper bow" gesture from Yellowfinger Heysel. Is it a possibility to gather the remaining Silver Cat ring NG?+ Is if then;
-Is it best to first gather all the Rings and then in NG+ all the gestures?

To however will help me with my question, you will have my greatest gratitude. And of course I would like to thank you all for reading my long message.

Submit

Point down is acceptable, cause you kids couldn’t handle the taste of my sack on your dead body When I destroy you.

Submit

HOW DO I GET UNMANNERED BOW PLEASE TELL.

Submit

I like wiener

Submit

Maan, the firekeeper is just too gorgeous when you toast to her ^_^

Submit

I decided to kill patches for revenge and now jokes on me, the patches squat is the last gesture I have to get (○-○)

Submit

When I point someone down I’m just simply showing where their bloodstain will be, why is that so bad. You don’t have to call me a scrub with no skill because your gank couldn’t kill me.

Submit

Hi! Canot get all gestures combining my characters? Do i really have to make all gestures with one??? Like sorceries, miracles, pyromancies or rings?????

Submit

The "by my sword" gesture with no weapon equipped looks like a standing toast.

Submit

Point down is the only important gesture.

Submit

Why is "Well, What is it?" Only in one game?

Submit

So what if you don't have an option foe gestures at all?

Submit

Where is the yelling emote, NOT the call over one, the one where you actually lean over and scream lol?

Submit

I forgot beckon, I am so ashamed of myself.

Submit

Is there a "Well, what is it" gesture?

Submit

Does anyone what gesture fighter pl ist using where he flexes his biceps?
