just killed the one in the "Now or Never" quest with triss, on deaths march difficulty.

night time and not allowed to meditate so was forced to fight with it regenerating (which was almost the full amount of my sword dps).

first i tried with the tactics sugguested in here, but it all failed. this is how i ended up managing to kill it.

I used quen before the fight, when i engaged i started by charming it with axii to give me time to place a yrden trap (alternate cast upgrade) that would help me with extra damage, then changed to igni and drank thunderbolt and black blood.

with all the prep done, i just started the rotation 4 fast hits, igni, 4 fast hits, dodge, repeat till dead.

this staggered it most of the fight, with the constant damage of my sword, ignii and yrden + the damage and stagger from the times it managed to hit me due to black blood.

hope this might help anyone having trouble with a katakan in the future.
