How to beat: Ekimma
Ekimmaras regenerate, so do not try to wear them down, and kill them as quickly as possible with a silver sword coated in Vampire oil. Their claws cannot be parried and cause heavy bleeding, so dodging is essential. Drink Black Blood to weaken them, since your blood then harms the ekimmara and knocks it back. Moon Dust stops them from teleporting, and the Cat potion lets you see them while they are invisible. Devil's Puffball combined with Igni poisons and burns them, and on higher difficulties you will likely spend much of your stamina on Quen to survive their attacks.
About
Ekimmaras are lower vampires found in Novigrad and Velen, vicious and animalistic, looking more like overgrown bats than pale aristocrats. Like other vampires they are post-Conjunction monsters, unbothered by garlic, holy water or religious symbols. Rather than biting delicately, they tear victims apart with long claws and lap up the spilled blood.
Loot
Possible drops – not every kill yields all of them.
