Gesture Towards the Shrine (Dark Souls III)
2016 saw the end of From Software’s iconic Dark Souls franchise, at least in terms of official retail releases (there’s still one DLC left to go!). Players are used to dying again and again in these games, along with meeting NPCs that offer vague advice or gloomy “jokes” when you walk towards them, and that continues with the Shrine Handmaid.
The inhabitant of the Firelink Shrine is the primary NPC that you’ll go to the game for when you need to buy or sell something in your quest to save the dying world. You can give her Umbral Ash and buy her merchandise, but you can also get reactions from her just by doing gestures. Whether you wave, sit, or just pick your nose, she’ll respond in kind. Good to know that not everyone in that world is dead, or wanting to make you dead.
