Dark Souls 2 Gestures Guide

In order to achieve 100% gameplay, you must earn the Dark Souls 2 Gesture Maestro achievement. Primarily used to communicate things like the gesture ‘Hurrah!’ to online players, gestures are collected through the game to eventually earn the Dark Souls 2 Gesture Maestro trophy. To use your collected gestures click the select button and open the gestures menu. Alternatively use the triangle or Y button to equip and sort gestures. Follow the shortcuts available in this Dark Souls 2 Gesture Maestro guide to master the gestures and rightly tell that online player....Whatever you like.

There are 20 gestures; lucky for you the first 8 are automatically assigned to you. You may feel the urge to gesture a Dark Souls 2 ‘No Way’ and seeing as it’s one of the automatically learned gestures, go right ahead. The Dark Souls 2 gestures that you already know include: Bow, I won’t bite, No Way, Point, Pumped Up, Righty-ho!, Warcry and Wave. The next 12 Dark Souls 2 gesture shortcuts are ones you will have to track down; follow these walkthroughs below to locate all available gestures.
