How to emote in Elden Ring Nightreign

Elden Ring Nightreign offers a unique multiplayer experience, but unlike many co-op games, it lacks traditional voice or text chat. Instead, players can communicate through emotes (also known as gestures), adding fun and personality to their expeditions. Whether you're celebrating a hard-fought victory or taunting enemies, emotes bring life to your adventures.
In this guide, we’ll explain how to use emotes in Elden Ring Nightreign, how to unlock more, and the best times to use them for maximum impact.

How to Use Emotes in Elden Ring Nightreign


Unlike the base game, Nightreign provides players with a wide variety of emotes from the start, allowing for instant expression during gameplay. Here’s how to access and use them:

On PC:


  • Press Esc to open the Equipment menu.
  • Look for the waving man icon on the right side.
  • Press 1 to expand the emote menu.
  • Select your desired emote and confirm to perform it.

    • On Xbox:


  • Press the Start button to open the Equipment menu.
  • Locate the waving man icon on the right.
  • Press Y to open the emote wheel.
  • Choose an emote and confirm to execute it.

    • Quick Access Tip:


    You can pin your favorite emotes for faster use:
    • PC: Press 2 to save an emote to the quick-select bar.
    • Xbox: Press X to favorite an emote.

    This makes it easier to use gestures in the heat of battle or during tense moments in Nightreign.

    How to Unlock More Emotes in Elden Ring Nightreign


    While the game starts you off with a solid selection, you can purchase additional emotes from an in-game vendor. Here’s how:


  • Travel to the Small Jar Bazaar:

    • Open your map while in the Roundtable Hold.
    • Select Small Jar Bazaar to teleport to the merchant.
  • Buy New Emotes:

    • The vendor offers over 15 additional emotes.
    • Each emote costs 200 Murks (the in-game currency).
  • Earning Murks:

    • Murks are earned by completing expedition runs.
    • The deeper you go, the more Murks you collect.


    • Since emotes are relatively cheap, you can quickly expand your collection and express yourself in new ways.

    Best Times to Use Emotes in Nightreign


    While emotes are fun, timing matters—especially in a challenging game like Elden Ring Nightreign. Here are the optimal moments to use them:


    ✅ Roundtable Hold: The safest place to experiment with emotes without consequences.
    ✅ After Surviving the First Night: A brief window to celebrate before the next challenge.
    ✅ Before Facing the Nightlord: Unlimited time to taunt or hype up your team.

    ⚠️ Avoid Using Emotes Mid-Expedition:

    • Time management is crucial in Nightreign.
    • Wasting seconds on an emote could lead to failure.

    Final Thoughts: Mastering Emotes in Nightreign
