These actions, especially waiting, are necessary to learn if you decide to play Skyrim<\/a>. Most stores and houses on the map aren\u2019t open at certain times, and you\u2019ll get framed as an intruder or thief if you lockpick any of these buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, without further ado, here\u2019s a guide on how you can Backstab, Wait, and Sprint in Skyrim<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being sneaky in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim can be extremely tricky. Jumping, drawing your weapon, and knocking over things can alert nearby enemies and make them aggressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Staying invisible is almost impossible as interacting with your environment by opening doors wears off the spell and enemies can still hear your footsteps. Sometimes you\u2019ll have to take ridiculous measures to not get caught committing crimes such as placing a bucket over your target\u2019s head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another stealth action that can be quite hard to pull off is the Backstab. If you\u2019re starting out in Skyrim, you\u2019ll find that there is no way to sneak attack, someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attacking someone from behind doesn\u2019t kill them immediately (unless you\u2019ve increased your damage enough to eliminate lower-level enemies), and instead triggers everyone around you into combat mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you can perform sneak attacks. All you need is to invest in your Sneak skill tree, which can be found in the character menu.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n To get the Backstab perk, you\u2019ll have to reach level 30 Sneak. You can also backstab enemies using the Assassin\u2019s Blade perk, which deals 15x more damage with daggers, but it requires you to be at least level 50 on Sneak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To level up on Sneak, you can get training from NPCs who teach Sneak such as Khayla, Garvey, and Delvin Mallory. Reading these books can also increase your Sneak skill:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Completing these quests will also increase your Sneak skills:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other ways of leveling up on Sneak are crouching around NPCs, lockpicking, and pickpocketing while staying undetected, which are easy to do. This can also be achieved by being a stealth archer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people have tried to hack this by sneaking up behind a praying Greybeard, slashing them with a dagger, and hiding behind the pillar. They don\u2019t die and there are plenty of them to attack. Just don\u2019t get caught otherwise you\u2019ll get shouted to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve finally reached level 30 Sneak, it\u2019s time to teach you how to Backstab someone in Skyrim. It\u2019s simple \u2013 sneak behind an enemy and attack them with a one-handed weapon. Normally, a killcam animation will be triggered. Backstab attacks deal six times the damage of one-handed weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t have time to level up on Sneak, you can still equip these gloves with the Backstab enchantment to perform the action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind that you cannot disenchant these items to learn the enchantment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the good things about Skyrim is that you can time skip in the game. Some characters and areas can only be accessed during certain hours, and the main method of time skipping is by sleeping in a bed. Resting comes with perks, especially if you\u2019re playing in survival mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, sleeping at inns can be expensive if you don\u2019t own a house in that city. Luckily, waiting is free. Make sure you aren\u2019t surrounded by hostile enemies because you can only wait if you aren\u2019t in combat, If you\u2019re on PC, press T to wait (Back button on Xbox One or Xbox 360, Select button on the PS3, the touchpad on the PS4, and the – button on the left Joy-Con for Switch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can choose how many hours (up to 24 hours only) you wish to wait, and a timelapse animation will happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sprinting is pretty straightforward, all you need to do is press the sprint button. This is useful when you\u2019re trying to evade enemies or incoming attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you might find that your stamina bar (the green bar in the lower right corner of the screen) runs out pretty quickly. To increase your stamina bar, you\u2019ll have to level up by completing quests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you level up, you\u2019ll be given the option of upgrading your magicka, health, and stamina. The more you upgrade your stamina, the longer you can sprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To sprint faster, you can also wear light armor instead of heavy armor, which makes you 10% slower. You can also drink potions and consume food or beverages to restore your stamina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that\u2019s how you backstab, wait, and sprint in Skyrim! It wasn\u2019t so hard, was it? Now that you know about these actions, you can save even more time in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also unleash your inner assassin with the Backstab perk and eventually earn the Assassin\u2019s Blade perk to deal more damage and kill enemies instantly.
