Useful Info

Greater mummies have all the brutal spell options of mummy priests but with much greater durability. They're resistant to electricity and cold, immune to Hexes, poison, and negative energy, and have the most powerful death curse in the game. They are found in the Tomb.

Greater mummies are extremely dangerous opponents, tormenting and smiting you from a safe distance while their summons and mummy allies slow you down. Don't let them live any longer than you have to.
Catching them with Silence will shut down all of their spells, making them much more manageable.
Avoiding their death curse is advisable. It can savage your stats, deal tremendous amounts of negative energy or torment damage, or summon powerful demons against you. The Haunt spell, Tukima's Dance on holy wrath weapons, or any powerful Summonings spell is recommended.
If you do end up killing them yourself, a ring of sustain abilities or two and being undead through Necromutation or just by nature will take much of the sting out of their death curse. Abjuration is also useful for getting rid of any demonic reinforcements.
