Afaik undead "creatures" need at least one thing that can grasp.
So if you manage to cut of his hands, feet and head it should stay dead.

If thats not working, add the following to the creature youre playing:

   [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
      [CDI:ADV_NAME:Breath fire]
      [CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
      [CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:MOUTH]
      [CDI:FLOW:DRAGONFIRE]
      [CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
      [CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:15]
      [CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:1]
      [CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:50]

Bisection/decapitation.

Cutting it in half was the only thing that killed the last mummy I was fighting. Cut-off limbs just reanimated and kept fighting.

They don't mind if their brain gets torn and smashed a dozen times, but if you can cut the head clean off it stops. Bisection with strikes to the lower body works too, but it's difficult to do to a human-sized target.

Mummies wearing helmets and breastplates are extremely fun.

Never had a bat massacre people with an axe before.
EDIT2: Oh god, the bat has got a title now.

I more or less allways kill mumies by decapitation.
Sneak inn behind them, then go for the throat / head.

They sound hard to kill. I've yet to face one.

One on one, they're not much tougher than other undead. Just bring a slashing weapon and aim for the head.

Last time I fought a mummy, I was a super saiyan 3. It was kind of odd; despite being cursed and all of the parts saying "impossible strike", they still got punched off without fuss the instant I tried to punch them.

But when he only had a head, upper body, and lower body left, the bastard STILL WOULDN'T DIE.

most mummys i have fought were not good fighters but were hard to kill.
a good tip is to give then one or two weak things as back up that thay will get raiseing even if it dies next tick.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

I found an iron pick to be fairly effective. Aim for the head.

I giggled.  That mental image will remain with me for some time.

Guess you need to mod in kamehamehas to annihilate them.

Mummy limbs will fall off at the slightest touch, but only decapitation or bisection will kill them permanently.  It may take several tries of "tearing the muscle!" before it finally works, so keep at it. 

Also, mummies can't curse you if you're sneaking, which is handy.  Just don't get spotted, heh heh heh.
