If you have an unpatched version of the game, this glitch still works. The engraved gauntlets give a chance for a normal hit to do the damage of a critical hit, like a backstab or riposte. Keep attacking until you trigger a critical hit from the gauntlets, then take off the gauntlets. Every hit will now become a critical, for a lot of damage. Will only work on PvE because you cannot play online without patching your game.
