How to Destroy a Vampire
The following is a list of common methods used to destroy a
vampire. This list is taken from The Vampire
Encyclopedia by Matthew Bunson.
Staking the most commonly used method in the world
Beheading avoid splattering of blood
Sunlight some aged and powerful vampires are immune
Cremation found throughout the world; scatter the
ashes
Piercing with a sword a blessed sword should be
used
Immersing in water a bathtub can be used, but body
disposal may prove a problem
Drenching in Garlic and Holy Water large amounts
have to be hauled to the gravesite to assure a clean kill;
oil, wine, or vinegar can also be used
Touching with a crucifix destroys a young vampire
but is normally used only as a repellent
Trapping in the grave iron bits, red peas, rice
(for Chinese species), roses, garlic, stones, and holy water
can be used
Extracting the heart can be very messy
