Gestures | Dark Souls 2 Wiki


Gestures in Dark Souls II are an in-game way to communicate with other players. You are given a few at the start of the game as your default Gestures, but you gain more as you progress through the game. All gestures can be canceled by backstepping or rolling during the gesture. Obtaining all gestures will grant you the "Gesture Maestro" Trophy/Achievement. 

Gesture Communication in Dark Souls 2

In the unforgiving world of Dark Souls 2, where danger lurks in every shadow, communication often transcends mere words. Gestures become a silent language, a vital tool for players to express emotions, convey strategies, or engage in the unique form of camaraderie that exists in this dark and perilous realm.

These gestures, more than mere animations, are an integral part of the game's culture. From the respectful bow to the jubilant 'Praise the Sun,' each gesture carries its own significance. Players can use gestures to greet fellow adventurers, express gratitude for assistance, or mock defeated foes. The silent exchange of gestures creates a communal experience, binding players together in a shared understanding of the challenges they face.

However, gestures extend beyond mere social interaction. In the heat of battle, a well-timed gesture can convey strategies and intentions without uttering a word. A nod of acknowledgment before a cooperative boss battle or a defiant taunt preceding a duel adds an immersive layer to player-versus-player interactions.

Mastering the art of gestures is not just a form of etiquette; it's a strategic advantage. A well-timed 'No Way' or 'This one's me' can communicate more than words ever could. In a game where cooperation is fleeting, and betrayal is always a possibility, gestures become a unique means of expressing intent and navigating the treacherous landscape of Dark Souls 2.
