Elden Ring: How To Get The Erudition Gesture

Gestures in , such as the Erudition Gesture, may seem to only be useful as a form of communication with other players in PvP mode. However, they serve much more functionality while exploring the landscape and even the DLC region, the Land of Shadow.

Erudition, in particular, can be obtained by completing a questline for an NPC and can also be used to solve two secret puzzles in the Lands Between. By obtaining the Erudition Gesture, which requires traversing the many rooftops of Raya Lucaria Academy in Liurnia of the Lakes, players will later have access to some great rewards if they use this Gesture in two locations in .

Players looking to solve Elden Ring's mysteries should try to acquire as many gestures as possible, as these can be vital to unlocking new content.

The Erudition Gesture can only be acquired as a reward for completing a questline for Sorcerer Thops, in which players must retrieve an item for him in exchange for the Gesture. You can find Sorcerer Thops gloomily sitting on a stone bench in the Church of Irith in Limgrave. The church can be found just outside Stormveil Castle in , located near the 'Lakeside-Facing Cliffs' Site of Grace.

DiamondLobby demonstrates that upon speaking to Sorcerer Thops, he reveals his desperation to get back into Raya Lucaria Academy, but requires an Academy Glintstone Key. Players may have already picked up a Glintstone Key, west of the south-facing Academy Gates, and used it to enter the Academy, but Thops will not accept your offering of this key.

Fortunately, another identical key is located in Raya Lucaria Academy, hidden at the end of a tower puzzle. Players must go there to retrieve it and return it to Thops.

After fast-traveling to Raya Lucaria Academy, you can get to the Second Glintstone Key's location by confronting and fighting the Red Wolf of Radagon, in the Debate Parlor.
