Midroll is viable if you use it conservatively, but fat rolling makes you a prime target for backstabbing, If you're gonna fat roll then consider equiping a piece of the armor of thorns set to hopefully cancel out their backstab or carry a fast weapon, preferably with wide horizontal attacks.
A good place to practice backstabs is on the Black Knights in Anor Londo. Lock on, circle their weapon side, and attempt to backstab. Once you practice on these guys, you'll notice the window for a backstab isn't really to be directly behind them, but kind of behind their shoulder. #2.

Here's a tactic to beat him early in the game, aka first time you encounter him with at or near minimum level. Get close, dodge/block an attack, then backstab. As he gets up (while using shield sword), stay behind him and begin to circle to the right as he's about to recover. Keep circling and then backstab him right as he's initiating the

Try paying attention to his backstabs to see how he moves around people and angles his character, and then try to emulate it. These things take lots of practice and failed attempts. •. watch project goof, he has tutorials on rolling bs and pivot bs, he is one of the best crit fishers in the game. there are also some vids from iamamish on

If you are going to use this method, make sure to use the most powerful one-handed weapon you have for the riposte. After the battle, light the bonfire for the ‘good’ ending. Leave the area
Unlike in DkS1. I've played long enough to confirm that you can backstab while holding the shield up. The button is the same as for the standard light attack btw. Probably a left mouse click, but I'm not familiar with K&M controls. Hmmm I tried it out now on the Tutorialbot but it did not work for me.
I began to wander if I shouldn't instakill people by backstabbing them in Darkroot Garden with Ring of Fog equipped. It would suck if it would be possible for players to be backstab immune. Unlike in DS2, there is no backstab immunity in DS1. Certain animations have bs immunity, like staggers or while waking-up after getting bsed, but there's
The extra dmg and range you get from uchi would be better off in compensation than the knife. Lightning Rapier +5 will do more damage than both of them. Priscilla's isn't as good as the bandit for backstab/parry because it doesn't have an extra crit multiplier.
