Explosive tanks +red hot F5/F8 buttons will get rid of the whole hellspawn band.
BTW - wasn't there talk about the Everblade being given some TLC as it is bugged, i.e. the only weapon NOT carried on back (which would be logical, as it is on fire) although the character bearing it can be seen putting it there for a fleeting moment, and which disappears during dialogue cutscenes?
