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.
Most 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. The only gestures not reacted to are the 3 different point gestures (requires confirmation).

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.

ds3 players on their way to complain about ****ing gestures
- Anonymous
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.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.
