That's why you should check general level of the quest, before trying to do one. If it's in red, then you should avoid it, unless you really have good idea what you are doing.

Strategy is kinda simple, use Quen sign as protection, and go in. Chop, chop, chop. It's slow enemy, so you can predict when it will attack - jump away then. Quen shield will protect you once from even fatal blows - if you lost shield, hide for a while, cast again, and go for a chop again. Use oil against magic beings, if you have. If you have unlocked different mode for Yrden, use that too. But, yup. Quen shield and chop.
