Ring of Skullduggery Gameplay Effect
Damage Effects:
- Increases damage by 20% when attacking enemies from behind.
- Two rings of Skullduggery can be worn to increase the damage boost to 40%
Determining Back Attacks: In the game, whether you're behind an enemy is determined by an invisible plane (like a sheet of glass) that goes through their centre of mass. If you're behind this plane and hit the enemy, you get the damage bonus. However, some enemies have body parts that stick out in front of this plane, making it tricky to perform back attacks in certain situations. For example, with the Cyclops, if you try to attack its head from behind, you won't get the back attack bonus because the game forces you towards the front of the plane. But ranged attacks from behind the Cyclops can still count as back attacks.
Specific Cases: Four-legged Enemies (like Gryffins and Drakes): The axis is still centered on their midsection and vertically aligned. When standing on their back, melee back attacks are only possible from the tail to the lower back. Ranged attackers standing on the lower back can still perform back attacks on the rest of the monster.
Knocked Down Monsters: Even when a monster is knocked down, the plane remains in the same position and orientation. Standing on the shoulders of a knocked-down Cyclops won't allow for back attacks. The positioning follows the same rules as for four-legged monsters.
