Probably reaching but does anybody know if hitting a player whose not in combat does bonus damage? I one shot a phantom mage with a crouched sneak attack when he turned a blind corner. One handed grand mace 40 str, level 120. Of course he’s a a silly glass cannon mage but crouch attacks are still too weak to one shot unless there’s legitimately a stealth multiplier for melee. I know in pve there is

"MULTIPLAYER AND STEALTH ELEMENTS
It is unclear whether stealth and multiplayer are mutually exclusive.

SPECIAL STEALTH REWARDS OR EVENTS
Sekiro introducing "eavesdropping" which allowed players to gain valuable insight for their playthrough. We expect to see similar mechanics and rewards available for players who opt for stealth and sneak playthroughs."

Wow, this page is out of date.....

I was hoping to find out whether one can actually sneak or not during an invasion. Like, does the floating name give you away? I only did it for the White Faced guy's mission, so i was curious.

Did they nerf sneaking in a patch or something? I used to be able to pretty reliably get a sneak attack on at least my first target in overworld camps or on patrolling enemies in dungeons, but recently it seems like every enemy spins around at the very last second before can pull one off.

Nin nin nin!
*woosh*

Is there any information on whether "running" (holding B) while crouching makes you more noisy/visible in PvE? Or are you equally hard to detect as if you're not holding B? Just curious.

Shouldn't assasin's gambit be there ? or did i miss something ? Also on assassin's gambit page it say "The buff does not seem to be overwritten by any other buffs obtained from spells" so does it mean that we can stack it with unseen form ? and if so, is thit just a slight change or is it significantly noticeable ?

Why is there no mention of the bonus damage for normal hits on unaware enemies?

The image is unrelated.
