With no native voice or text chat functions, communication in Elden Ring Nightreign is limited to frantic jumping, pinging, and the inventive use of emotes. The latter is as close as you’ll get to communicating anything other than ‘let’s go to this location’ so is likely to come in handy, if only to celebrate downing one the Nightlord bosses.
While much of the game is explained well in the tutorial, it does skip over the use of this useful communication tool. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to emote in Elden Ring Nightreign. For more help starting out, check out our tips and tricks gathered while reviewing FromSoft’s standalone co-op spin-off.

How to use emotes in Elden Ring Nightreign
To emote in Elden Ring Nightreign, bring up the Main Menu by tapping the Options button on PS5, the Menu button on Xbox, or the Esc key on PC, then tap triangle on PS5, Y on Xbox, or the 1 key on PC. You’ll then see a list of all available gestures and emotes. Hover over the one you want to perform and tap the confirm button prompt – X on PS5, A on Xbox, or F/right-click on PC. Your Nightfarer will then do the chosen emote. You can do this both out in Limveld during runs or at the Roundtable Hold.
