How To Backstab
- Hit that crouch button to go into stealth mode. Sure, it’s slow, but it keeps those enemies clueless.
- Find an enemy with their back to you, preferably one that looks like they won’t be turning around anytime soon.
- That red skull icon above their head? That’s your signal to strike!
Sounds like easy bonus damage, right? Well…Here’s the thing: backstabs in No Rest for the Wicked are trickier than they seem.
One wrong step, and they’ll turn around faster than you can say “Whoops!”. Some enemies are just too twitchy. Look for the lazy ones who seem lost in thought. You gotta have a sword (or something similar) equipped. Bows don’t trigger backstab.
Look, I’m not gonna lie – perfecting the backstab has me wanting to pull my hair out sometimes. But stick with it, and you’ll be a sneaky pro in no time. Backstabs are rad, but if an enemy looks tricky, sometimes a regular fight is smarter. Find a spot with some dumber enemies and experiment. You’ll get the timing down eventually.
Final Words
Taking out an enemy silently is super satisfying, and that extra damage can save your life in a pinch. Plus, it just feels cool to pull off a sneaky takedown!
