- [] will backstab humanoid enemies while will garotte/decapitate them. Monsters get dismembered instead, regardless of fast or strong attack. A list of valid monster targets can be found at the bottom of the mod description.

[]You can drag the bodies of human NPCs knocked out or killed by headshots or backstabs by selecting Quen and pressing or Indicated by a YELLOW PULSATING ICON
When sneaking up on an enemy a RED PULSATING ICON will appear. It indicates that you are within backstabbing distance of a valid target.
This is based on camera angle (60 degrees) and will not show unless your camera is facing your target.
