Nioh 3 doesn't have the simplest control scheme, and the game doesn't explain every nuance. For example, gestures are needed not only to communicate with other players or pose in photo mode, but also to fight some monsters. Portal pcgamer.com speakHow to use gestures.
In Nioh 3, gestures can be used, by holding the right bumper and the Start button on the controller or G on the keyboard. Pressing these keys opens a gesture window where you can choose one of nine available keys (there are several pages in the menu). Select the desired gesture and the character will perform it.
Why are gestures coded in one color or another? Because they are needed to deal with some demons. Nurikabe – a demon pretending to be a wall; they often guard treasure chests or hot springs. Get close enough and they will open their eyes, which will glow red, yellow or blue. If you use the same color gesture, the nurikabe will bow and step aside, allowing the player to pass.
And the second monster, sensitive to gestures, is the mujina; Evil raccoons sometimes pretend to be chests. Open such a chest and the mujin will jump out of it. He will copy the player's appearance and make gestures. Repeat that and the monster will give up its treasure without a fight.
