Welcome to the board!!!

1. Flesh golems - you need magical weapons. Clay golems - you need magical blunt weapons. Stone golems - magical weapons that are at least +2. Also, in my experience some of the smaller weapons, like daggers and arrows, won't work. Iron and adamantite golems - magical weapons that are at least +3.

2. Have your thief hide in shadows. Place him directly behind whatever he is going to backstab. Make sure he is using a melee weapon that a single class thief can use, such as a longsword or a club. Have him attack. The message screen will say he is leaving shadows but then it will also say "backstab". Note that there are a few creatures that cannot be backstabbed. The number of weapons you have equipped shouldn't matter. If you still can't backstab, maybe you aren't hitting your target in the first place; thieves aren't exactly well known for their fighting abilities. [img]smile.gif[/img]
