FromSoftwarealways has a traditional way of adding Gestures to their games. These gestures allow players to express their actions in front of other online players in a game that does not have other means of communication. However, there are some gestures inElden Ringthat have more importance than the rest purely because they can be used to advance questlines or obtain unique items.
Finger Snapis one of the gestures that is more than a way to express oneself. It can be acquired very early on in the game in Limgrave and is necessary to complete a questline of one of the game’s fan-favorite characters.
