Skyrim's Sneak skill allows your Dragonborn to
slip past enemies undetected, pickpocket to loot valuables, and sneak attack enemies with melee and ranged attacks. This guide to Sneaking will teach you about leveling the skill, choosing your Perks, and becoming a master in stealth or assassination by backstabbing your enemies. Sneaking Explained Wearing boots with the Muffle effect, which can also be learned as an Enchantment, will reduce the effective weight of your armor. This is also a spell in the Illusion school of magic. Another Illusion spell, Invisibility, acts like Sneaking, though with no visual component - you can still be heard, meaning it's best to move slowly and avoid getting to close to anyone. Using sneak in this situation will
further help you avoid detection, while raising the skill. Fortify Sneak can be put on boots, gauntlets, rings, and amulets, and will help reduce the chance of detection by raising your Sneak skill. Raising Sneak & Skill
Trainers Delvin Mallory of the Thieves' Guild in Riften is Skyrim's Master Sneak Trainer, though you must join up to use him. An Expert Trainer that anyone can access is Garvey in the Warrens of Markarth. Neither of these guys is particularly necessary, given how easy it is to level Sneak. Coin is best spent on training more challenging Skills like One-handed or Destruction Magic. Sneak Attacks In order to pull off a Backstab or use the Assassin's Blade perk with a Dagger, you should move slowly as you get close to your target, and try to stay behind them, or keep something between you to obscure their field of vision. Shadows always help - you're less likely to be detected there. When you are behind your target (or even in front of them if you're that good), unleash a power attack to deal huge damage. This always works, so long as you haven't yet been detected. Taking Perks can help with this - reducing detection, movement noise, and giving you Silent Roll to let you move into position for your killing blow. Sneak attacking with a bow is a simple affair. You're already at range, so the enemy has a disadvantage in detecting you. You also don't have to move for quite some time if you pick a good spot. Fire on closer enemies first, as they charge toward you. If you're sneaky, you can fire a shot then relocate so that they search your original position, only to take an arrow in the back.
