Discover how to unlock and use gestures in Elden Ring: Nightreign. Learn where to find them, how they enhance multiplayer communication, and how to express yourself mid-expedition.
Gestures are a staple in every FromSoftware game, and Elden Ring: Nightreign is no different. Whether youโre celebrating a hard-earned boss victory or just finished wading through another poison swamp, gestures let you express yourself without saying a word.
Theyโre especially handy in multiplayer, where you canโt chat with random players. Instead, a quick wave or a well-timed bow can say everything from โletโs goโ to โmaybe letโs not fight that thing right now.โ
Here’s a breakdown of how to get gestures and use them effectively in Nightreign.
How to Get Gestures in Elden Ring: Nightreign
Once youโre through the tutorial, youโll unlock access to the Roundtable Hold, your home base and central hub for starting expeditionsโwhether solo or in co-op.
As you explore the Hold and get to know the various NPCs, youโll eventually stumble upon the Small Jar Bazaar.
This place is where youโll spend a good chunk of your Murk (the gameโs main currency) on Relic Rites and, of course, Gestures.
- Buy Gestures from the Bazaar using Murk.
- If you’re low on Murk, you can sell extra Relic Rites back to the Bazaar to earn more.
- Some gestures are already unlocked by defaultโso you donโt have to spend a single Murk if you donโt want to.
So, even if you’re saving up for that next big relic, you can still use some basic gestures to communicate with your fellow Nightfarers.
How to Use Gestures in Elden Ring: Nightreign
Using gestures is simple, but easy to overlook in the middle of all the chaos. Hereโs how to access and use them on each platform:
- PlayStation: Press the Options button to open the menu, then Triangle to access gestures.
- Xbox: Press the Options/Menu button, then Y.
- PC: Open the menu and click the Gestures icon on the right-hand side.
Want quick access? On PC, you can favorite a gesture by pressing the โ2โ key while itโs selected.
Using a gesture mid-run can be a cool way to show emotion, celebrate, or coordinate with your teamโespecially since random multiplayer has no built-in voice or text chat. So whether you’re hyping up your crew before a boss or saying thanks after a revive, gestures add a bit of fun flair to your journey.
Wrap-Up
Gestures in Elden Ring: Nightreign may seem like a small feature, but they go a long way in making the game feel more aliveโespecially when youโre exploring with others. Theyโre easy to get, easy to use, and they might just save your life when words arenโt an option.
