Games | ||
How to Perform | Sneak up behind an enemy | |
Effect | Dealing a large amount of damage | |
The Sneakstrike is a move performed by Link in Breath of the Wild. It can be performed by sneaking up behind an enemy, usually one who is asleep and lying on the floor. As Link draws near, the sneakstrike prompt will appear on the screen and when pressed, Link will hit the enemy with a melee weapon. The attack will do 8x the normal damage with whatever weapon Link has equipped.
If Link makes too much noise as he approaches the enemy, it may awake and turn its attention towards Link, preventing him from performing the sneakstrike. The best way to sneak up on enemies is to crouch down and slowly make your way over. Alternatively, if Link is wearing Sheik's Mask, or any of the items that are part of the Stealth Set, he will gain the Stealth Up ability, allowing Link to move more freely while making much less noise. This will allow Link to sneak up on enemies more easily, making it capable to perform sneakstrikes.
