Bloodborne Gestures and How to Unlock Some
Bloodborne features a multiplayer component and as part of Co-op play you will be able to communicate with your teammates via Gestures. These are Bloodborne’s version of emotes your character will perform on command.
In this guide we’ll try and explain how to equip and use gestures as well as how to unlock some of them.
You can evoke the Gestures menu by pressing the left side of your controller’s touch pad
. You can preview each of the currently equipped gestures there, as well as test them and slot different emotes. You can perform gestures by pressing the 
button and moving your controller in a certain way. Icons explaining each motion you have to perform are shown in the menu.
Gosu tip: When you leave notifications for other people (with your notebook) you can attach gestures to your messages! All you have to do is press L1 when you compose your message and a ghost version of you, performing the emote, will show up for the person reading your note.

Shake Off Cape
You get this from Eileen the Crow. She is located in Central Yharnam in the Sewers area. At the entrance to sewers there is a large staircase with a lot of boxes and coffins at the top of it. Break the boxes to find the hidden entrance then do the same thing in the next room. You can find our guide about her here.
