Defeating the Undead Beastmen

The undead beastmen patrolling around Crumbling Farum Azula will need to be killed twice like any other undead in the game. Once to get them down, and then their glowing remains will need to be hit to stop them from respawning.

However, there are a couple of weapons and Ashes of War that can take these undead down in one go, without having to strike the remains.

The notable weapons are the Inseparable Sword, Golden Order Greatsword, and the Golden Epitaph.

The Ashes of War that can be used to take down the undead are Sacred Blade, Sacred Order, and Shared Order.
