Vârcolac (East Old Town)

Chapter: 8 · Moreau's Reservoir
Where: East Old Town, once you go through the Altar's south gate with the Four-Winged Unborn Key. A cutscene throws Ethan into the East Old Town Stable.

Weak point

The whole body: ×2.0 from almost everything, magnum ×2.6, M1851 Wolfsbane ×5.2, explosives ×2.4. Game8: shotgun, explosives and magnum.

The first Vârcolac, a giant Lycan. It patrols a path and, once it sees you or you shoot it, charges to grab you. It is too big to get into buildings: it claws through doors and windows, gets stuck and loses interest, and that is when it is vulnerable. Stand right at the doorway and it grabs you and throws you out. It can climb onto roofs; its grab can be blocked with no damage and a shotgun blast breaks up its long-range attacks.

It is optional: you can sneak past and grab the GM 79 in the Water Mill while it has lost you.

Reward

Crystal Beast (20,000 Lei).

7,000 HP. Rough estimate at Standard's starting rank: 2 M1851 Wolfsbane shots (you don't have it yet here), about 4 Mines or about 13 M1897 shells.

Village of Shadows: a second Vârcolac appears near the East Old Town Barn (another Crystal Beast).

Step by step

Stay in the stable from the cutscene. Put Mines outside the door and outside the window on the parallel wall.
Climb the ladder to the roof, shoot it with the rifle or handgun to draw it, then climb back down: it can reach the roof too.
When it gets stuck in the door or window, it steps on the Mines. Blast its face with the shotgun from a step back: it still has reach.
Repeat until it falls. Its grab can be blocked (L) with no damage.
