Potions: Mongoose, Tawny Owl and Swallow.

Signs: Quen and Aard are preferable, but you can venture between Igni and Yrden. Zoltan will be distracting the beast most of the time, so, Quen and Aard should do the trick.

Tactics: It's not an actually difficult fight. You just have to stun the monster with Aard or a Samum bomb and jum right at it to slash and hack. After a few blows it'll counter attack you - in Dark mode the attack consumes almost all of Geralt's health, so be prepared to dodge at the proper time. You can also try to throw a few "superb-well-balanced throwing knives" by it's side (avoid ranged weapons frontally, it's shell will repel the daggers, so attack from behind or from the sides).

Keep Quen on, when you need a little Vigor, take a good distance and let Zoltan distract it for a while. Repeat this process and you'll kill it in no time.
