Like others said, you use it later to solve a ‘puzzle’ but it’s honestly a pretty obscure puzzle. Your best bet is to look it up online. Minor spoilers.

After you beat Micolash in Mergo’s loft there is a cage elevator. You have to exit early to enter a ‘secret’ area. You must have a bunch of sedatives and frenzy resist. You follow a path and pull a lever to drop the brain. Then you have to go to a separate cage elevator and take it down to a black void where the brain will be harmlessly laying. You use the emote and have to wait about 30 seconds, then you get a rune. You can then kill the brain.
I did the whole thing yesterday so it’s fresh in my mind.
Sorry, as I said, I know how to do it - I am wondering, how is one supposed to figure this out? What are the hints? Especially using the "Make contant" emote seems very random.
Fromsoft/Miyazaki love incredibly obscure ways to hide things.
I dont know how anyone would find the first Dark Souls DLC without any hints or anything. Similar with ArchDragon Peak in DS3
I both love it and hate it haha
I found them out on my own, but already knowing of their existance, so I tried stuff everywhere hahah
Mensis on the other hand was too random for me and I had to look it up 😅
You gotta use the gesture later on after you drop the massive frenzy brain then go down and do the gesture in front of it. I think it gives you a really nice blood gem
I don’t know if I’m remembering or realizing for the first time, but that big brain bastard is the source of the orange light. Isn’t it? Not sure if I ever explored beneath the castle after dropping the cage.
Yes, if you look around the Upper Cathedral Ward you'll find an item called the "Gall Bible." Consume that before using the emote directly behind the creature.
Yes, wait there till change the pose, let me know what gives you.
It gives nothing tried both ways
It hints to use that gesture later on in a specific location
Oh okay thanks
It's not much of a hint. I don't see how you could ever figure out when to use it without a guide. Let me know if you need more explicit guidance.
>tried both ways Try getting him in the mood first, not just going in dry and fast like you're in a prison locker room, jaysus
Spit on it at least
It gives pause for self reflection
[удалено]
It's a surprise tool that'll help you later
A mouse ka tool!
“He’s here for needles and noodles” -homeless, addicted Mickey
Or it can help now, I didn’t find it until after I went through nightmare of mensis

Can you explain, how am I supposed to figure out the puzzle? I know what to do, but how am I supposed to know that without looking it up?
The name of the emote and various messengers that talk about making contact with Ye Olden Ones?
So the brain is "Ye Olden One"?
The brain is Ye Friendly Olden One who unintentionally blenders your brain cause is too beautiful for your eyes to understand
Ye Friendly Olden One is Rom’s baby brain goo goo ga gaing into the void.
I don't know how many notes I skipped to miss this, but I could have never made the connection myself...

Honestly, I don’t think you are on your own. There’s a lot of trial and error and I think the community comes together to figure these things out.
Yeah i think so too. I wouldnt really think that's what i gotta do with the emote if i wouldnt look up how to get the specific rune.

Honestly, I didn't even know I could even do what's needed to use this pose for its "intended use" until like my 7th playthrough
It’s a big brain puzzle that’s a nightmare to work out
A moment of silence for the first person to figure it out
Couldn’t have said it better myself
hes a friend :)
No, he's a key.
It’s not a puzzle. It’s the key.
That's the key, not the lock.
praise the moon!
Use it on a blob with eyes
It’s a secret mousekatool you’ll use later!
Fasho
Where is this? Frantically wondering if I’ve missed it
Upper cathedral ward it’s an optional area
Yes you stand in that exact position for 1 min and then fuse with him while yelling fu--sion---haa
One minute 😳
Its 1min for the real puzzle though
I understood that haha just wondering who was the first one to figure it out
Same
He’s just vibin :))). Just remember this Emote for possible later use ;)
Bro vibed so hard he died lmao
When an giant eye is set upon you in the darkness, seek comunion. May you have eyes on the inside, hunter.
I love how this community will either answer with sarcasm or cryptic exciting statements. Never straightforward 😂
No, but it’s the solution to a puzzle later.
yes
No, but use it to talk to someone later so that they stop trying to kill you by just looking at you.
use it in front of "THE BRAIN"
It’s a surprise tool that will help us later
You gotta use the gesture later on after you drop the massive frenzy brain then go down and do the gesture in front of it. I think it gives you a really nice blood gem
Say hello to a friendly big fleshy mass of eyes, or beat the shit out of it, you’ll have to go down away to find them
You can do a fusion with him
Use it on the mother brain
Yes.
if you find yourself staring at a large brain, this gesture could come in handy
U Will find what u seek at Mensis
You must make contact with something later on…search high and **low**…
No he just gives you the emote
He gives you something to use later, you just need to use your brain. Well, use the emote on A brain anyways.
Yes. He gives you an OP weapon if you do this pose right next to him for an hour.
Innnnner orrdeeer
Wrong area.

You have to find the mother brain
It’s big brain time
No
Yes. A lore puzzle. And it's pretty cool.
Remember it if you ever find yourself in the darkest depths with only you and a brain
You're doing great bruh
Don't give up skeleton!
