How to beat: Alghoul
Kill the alghoul first, since the rest of the pack loses its coordination once the leader is gone. Coat your silver sword with Necrophage oil. An alghoul can let out a piercing scream that stuns nearby enemies and drives other ghouls into a frenzy. When enraged it grows spines on its back, and hitting it in melee while they are out will hurt you. Cast Axii to make the spines retract after a few seconds, which also briefly stuns the creature and gives you a safe window to attack.
About
Alghouls are larger, darker and stronger relatives of ghouls, and above all much more intelligent. They often lead ghoul packs, which makes such a group far more coordinated and dangerous, and they gather wherever corpses are plentiful, such as battlefields and shallow graves. They grow stronger at dusk and during the night.
Loot
Possible drops – not every kill yields all of them.
