Gestures are a game mechanic that allows players to express emotion or direction. There are a total of thirty-three gestures in Dark Souls 3. Collection of all gestures rewards the player with the Master of Expression trophy.
Certain gestures performed towards the Fire Keeper will result in different reactions from her, such as 'Dignified bow' responding with a bow, 'Legion Etiquette' with a look of consternation, 'Stretch out' with a small laugh, or 'Path of the Dragon' with a twirl.

Trivia
- The 'Quiet Resolve' gesture was originally from the first Dark Souls trailer, where the character who uses the gesture in the trailer is wearing the Elite Knight Set. The same set is worn by Anri of Astora, who teaches you this gesture.
- There are several gestures that are performed by NPCs that can not be obtained by the player, most notably the majority of sitting and standing idle poses, the gestures the Fire Keeper does in response to gestures done towards her, and the standing 'Toast' gesture performed by Lapp.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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.

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

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

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

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
