I understand that I need to cut off the head of a Uruk captain to make sure they stay dead, but I don't know how to do this reliably. Once in a while I get lucky and a finishing move decapitates the enemy, but other times I simply run them through and they're up again and chasing after me the next day.
Is there any way to guarantee that a finishing move is a beheading?
When you die, there is a chance a "bounty" will be placed on your killer:
This is available for anyone in the game. Even randoms. So by default, if you ever see any of these, you will be avenging the deaths of friends by killing the target.
They have two weapons. From the wiki:
Berserkers - Similar to warriors, but wield two weapons instead of one. Deals much more damage and are capable of throwing their weapons. Cannot be attacked freely since they counter the attack, must be Wraith Stunned before any attacks can land on them.

There is a way where, when executed properly, you can ensure you a 100% decapitation.
You have to unlock the Wraith Finisher Skill, that garantees you a decapitation (well, a head explosion...) after the entire combo.
To do that, tap E (on PC) to stun your victim, and then spam Right Click (normal attack).
Note that the finisher will only activate if your commander is low health, while always works on normal Uruks.
Sadly using the normal finisher, there's nothing that can garantee you a 100% decapitation.
