How to beat: Hym
Once the hym is exposed, a silver sword coated in specter oil speeds up the fight. Hyms move slowly but their claws reach far and drain life, so dodge or roll past them and strike before it reacts; after several hits it teleports to another corner. Igni deals solid damage and keeps it visible, and Yrden slows it further. If it retreats to the cellar, follow quickly before it regenerates, and light the candles there with Igni to keep it corporeal; you can also light them in advance. In Udalryk's case, use Axii on him when he begins to succumb to the madness.
About
A hym is a specter that latches onto people guilty of some terrible crime and stays invisible to everyone else. Instead of attacking directly, it feeds on its victim's guilt, whispering to them, weaving nightmares from their worst fears and driving them toward violence, madness or suicide. When it does show itself, it appears as a tall, shadowy figure with long claws.
Loot
Possible drops – not every kill yields all of them.
