What Are Gestures?

Used as Animated Expressions

Elden Ring - Golden Order Totality Gesture
Gestures are used as simple expressions in-game, acting as an in-game method of communication between players during multiplayer play or as simple animations a player can use at any time in the game. The use of gestures has little to no effect on gameplay, although some "special" gestures may possibly have some effect in-game.

Used to Unlock Hidden Content

Elden Ring - Erudition Gesture Hint at the Converted Tower
On rare occasions, performing a gesture in the right conditions can prompt events that can lead you to new quests or entire areas that contain or reward items.

Make sure to watch out for anything that could be a clue to trigger such events to happen during your exploration.
