For gestures in Dark Souls, see Gestures.
For gestures in Dark Souls II, see Gestures (Dark Souls II).

Gestures are a gameplay mechanic in Dark Souls III.

Description

Gestures are special animations the player can perform and which usually describe either an emotion, an action, or an order. These gesticulations are generally used for communication between players online.

The player starts the game with several gestures already at their disposal. These can be consulted and managed by pressing the Xbox 360 - Button Back - 01 button, bringing up with this a quick list with seven gestures ready for use and from where the player can activate one by selecting it and then pressing the action button (PlayStation - Cross - 01 / Xbox 360 - Button A - 01).

The rest of the gestures available to the player can be selected and added to the quick list via a secondary menu called by pressing the PlayStation - Triangle - 01 / Xbox 360 - Button Y - 01 button.

Additional gestures can be learned throughout the course of the game. These are usually learned from other characters, after performing certain actions, or even after defeating certain enemies.

There are a total of 33 gestures to be obtained in the game.

Notes
