For Dark Souls III on the PlayStation 4, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "hornet ring doesn't affect backstab".
Press Circle to do a backstep. That should make you leap over the "glitchy" terrain. jsavvy 12 years ago #9. YHWH posted jsavvy posted I am on my way back up the great hollow and am stuck, I went up all the ladders and now I am stuck going from a branch to a landing to get to another branch.

When I'm using Great Weapons they just wait for me to swinging for like two times. And dodging between my swings. Then they're easily going at my back and backstab me. But when I'm trying to do the same then I'm going too far away from them that I can't even reach them to backstab them until they turn. It's same with mobs most of the time.
Backstab's feature 2hit confirmations, which check for orientation + distance on the first confirm (when you press R1, but not in the 1/2 a second later). On the second confirm, it only looks for distance, and the attacker is even allowed to be hit during this phase and the BS will still go through.
Pumyralee (Topic Creator) 7 years ago #5. I'm not sure if I"m misunderstanding the "critical" stat on weapons, but it seems that the Estoc (I don't have one yet to test) has only 100 critical, and should therefore do less damage than the Uchigatana which also has 100 critical, but even higher base damage YoukaiSlayer 7 years ago #6.
Backstab just never works for me. I go behind the enemy, breathe down their spine press r1 while letting go of every other button on my controller…
