How to beat: Ghoul
Against a group of ghouls, keep moving until one gets separated, then circle it and finish it off with occasional quick strikes while staying light on your feet. Coat your silver sword with Necrophage oil. If a wounded ghoul starts snarling loudly, it is becoming enraged and will regenerate most of its health unless you kill it first, so make it your priority. An enraged ghoul fights more aggressively and ignores its wounds, and Axii is a good way to stop the enrage.
About
Ghouls are the most common corpse-eaters, roaming in packs and told apart from alghouls by their sickly pale skin. They walk on all fours and have eerily human faces without a trace of reason, driven only by hunger for human flesh. They gather wherever fresh corpses can be found, such as cemeteries, crypts and battlefields, hunt the living when they have numbers, and are more dangerous at dusk and at night.
Loot
Possible drops – not every kill yields all of them.
