It is not in the books, they arent immortal in the books. The developers went with the fact of their godlike regenration, that no mere human can outdamage by conventional means.

An example: Vilge (a mage faar above the ordinary mages/sorceresses almost on pair with the Elven Sages) didnt bother to make it sure Regis died for real. Vilgefortz just molded Regis into glass,yet it was enough to stop him from "reforming". He just wanted to get rid of the annoyance to fight Regis and Geralt at the same time. I am sure even Regis can be killed if the magical attack is strong enough, like destroying every cell of his. So his ridicilous regeneration makes him immortal and nearly undestroyable...

My best bet is when a higher vampire "kills" them their cells invade the victims cells and the regeneration is slowed even broken down completely. They experienece a "mortal" state for the moment of the killing blow/move. So the most important factor is to deal a damage they cant heal/regenerate or prevent them.

Then at this point you can think about magical poison/sending mana invading their "sytstem" to weaken them, aka burning them like Vilge with a magical flame, but making sure all their cells get destroyed in the process. This is the tricky part, or must be all cell, can they regenerate from a hand for example. We are in the dark here, devs made a statement which makes no sense without further explanation
