How to Backstab in Elden Ring

If you want to backstab in Elden Ring, then your first order of business is to go straight after an enemy who is human and roughly your size. Ideally, you want to do this by sneaking up behind them and unknowingly catching them. It is absolutely possible to pull off when already engaged in a toe fight through skillful maneuvering. However, the Stealth option has a much lower risk of having a blade embedded in your own skull. This is why the backstab is a great tool for fending off individual enemies. You can attack one enemy in a group, but chances are good that one of them will sound the alarm.

So let's now assume you've positioned yourself behind the enemy, then press R1 to attack (can’t do it with the left hand). If you’ve done everything properly, you’ll see an animation of the attack play out, dealing a devastating blow to the opponent’s health bar. Plus, more often than not, they’ll be staggered for a moment, giving you a second to breathe and decide what’s next. And that’s how you backstab in Elden Ring. If you’re familiar with Souls games, none of this should come as much of a surprise. Well, aside from one thing.

For information, let us tell you that the veterans of the series will have no problem getting stabbed in the back in PvE. However, when it reaches PvP, you will notice a huge change. Namely, when you try to stab another player in the back, they can escape before your weapon actually engages. Now they are not helplessly locked in animations. Of course, the same is true for you. However, if the weapon does connect, well, sucks to be on the receiving end.
