It is what Father Ariandel used to whip himself to draw blood for The Painter to use as a pigment, and as such appropriately offers bleed build-up when used on foes. However, it is probably better Backs have quite a big window. You can be slightly to their side and still backstab. Unlocked makes positioning easier. Latency also plays a part. You need to press R1 at their back, but if they stay in place (regardless of direction) you'll still pull them into a backstab. This makes 'face stabbing' a thing. How to install: 1.)

It was less of a big deal that bs had to be confirmed on both screens, because compared to Elden Ring the actual backstab “grab” animation was much faster, and you could backstab from more angles on Dark Souls 3 throws a lot of curveballs on the playing field, A class like a Thief has exactly one way to fight an enemy you can't sneak up on and backstab: getting up close and hacking away Make sure you have your shield lowered when you attempt a backstab. Shield down, and sometimes it seems to help to let go of the analogue stick right before hitting the button to backstab. Not really, it is still the same. Just get within a certain angle of the enemy's back and press R1. If the feet are staggered, put yourself behind the heel of the back foot. If the feet are square, then center yourself between the legs. Okay, I'll try that. Nope, no shield. Here 's a nice video-guide on how to back-stab and avoid being back-stabbed in PvP.
