Apologies in advance if this is a silly question. But I’ve never played these Souls games, and I’m curious if we can crouch and sneak around and do stealth kills.

Yes. You can click L3 to touch grass.

Yup. Full Sekiro stealth. You can crouch with L3. Stealth kills are only from behind. If alerted Kill enemies before they can call their friends. Sleep arrows and killing sleeping enemies also available.

Pretty sure you will have more stealth related stuff like skills in game.

That’s fantastic. I love stealth options.

Do we have stealth kill animations, or is it just a regular slash for a bonus on damage?

Creepy is my favorite type of Pasta.

stealth is actually very OP. Like no one notices you even if you are breathing into their ears.

Serious? Aggro is 100% visual?

Yep, the AI isn't particularly sophisticated.

If you kill an enemy in the vicinity of another, it does aggro them. But you can kill someone and a patrolling enemy can walk past the body without being alerted. I also killed a horseman and his horse went darting around the other soldiers, and they carried on as usual.

Just like when we met up that one time. I was breathing into your ear for an hour before you knew I was there.

You were too busy with my meatballs to be breathing. I enjoyed it.

The fact that elf girls don't exist in real life is an absolute catastrophe.

  3. Is there any form of stealth in the game?

This is the subreddit for the Elden Ring gaming community. Elden Ring is an action RPG which takes place in the Lands Between, sometime after the Shattering of the titular Elden Ring. Players must explore and fight their way through the vast open-world to unite all the shards, restore the Elden Ring, and become Elden Lord. Elden Ring was directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and made in collaboration with George R. R. Martin. It was developed by FromSoft and published by Bandai Namco.

How do you do stealth attacks in Elden Ring?

It's best to use the Stealth system in Elden Ring for Backstabs, though, as it's a very effective means of initiating combat without being noticed. Once behind your target, press the Light Attack button for the hand holding your weapon – usually, this will be the right shoulder button (or R1).

How do you backstab in Elden Ring?

As with the majority of "Soulsborne" games, the basic way to backstab in "Elden Ring" is to press the light attack button while standing behind an enemy — this is the right shoulder button on controllers and the left mouse click on PC.

Does stealth work in Elden Ring PvP?

Stealth is pretty barebones in Elden Ring when playing against the AI, but it can be helpful in similar PvP scenarios. One Elden Ring invader makes excellent use of stealth to kill the host, almost as if they were playing an Assassin's Creed game.
