It is possible to finish HOS without doing the main quest. I just beat it a few hours ago on my first playthough on Death March, started at level 23. one ofthe only fights I had a problem with is against the Redanian soldiers after getting kicked out of the auction house, because as soon as I regained control I got one shotted with a punch and just let it go. lol

I chose to save Olgierd because he's ultimately the lesser evil, and during that sequence I only had the time to kill the spectre near the sword.

With the right gear none of the fights are that hard, they don't take very long either. with just witcher gear and superior consumables you can clear most of the map before even going to skellige.

I thought I screwed up when I faced the mage at the start. I didn't know about axii and it seemed he had an answer for all my tactics, but once I beat him I dont think there was any other fight that I worried about.

If you're reading this, dont worry about levels too much. Use your build, their patterns and their weaknesses to your advantage, and you can do content at least 15 levels above, blind, with no problems!
