"Until it stuns you"? but dude this mofo kills me in one shot xD

I'm lvl 23 in death march difficulty with upscaling on and sometimes the djinn destroys my quen AND kills me in one shot 0.01s after, so you could say it's kind of like a one shot even with quen on. And even when it just destroys the quen I can die just a few seconds later if I'm unlucky (I took a potion that speeds up stamina regen but sometimes I still before I'm able to cast quen again), each one of my blows deals about 1200 dmg (1950 if crit) and its health bar barely goes down after hitting it 3-4 times haha.

The game (and wiki) says that we should use dimeritium bombs but it doesn't do sh*t. The djinn either throws the bomb back at me (wtf???) or just ignores it and keeps attacking me like nothing happened.

Soooo I'm turning upscaling off. I'm all for difficult fights but this is just too much. Level above quest requirement, potions, oil, best possible witcher gear for this level and it's still nearly impossible. So I'll pass on that haha.

News : I turned off upscaling (but kept death march difficulty) and killed the djinn without much problem. It wasn't very challenging but still, the fight was decent. Not boring. I would've liked a little bit more challenge but since it's that or an impossible fight... But it's ok, the fight isn't the most interesting part of this quest anyway.

If anyone reads this : put your pride aside and just turn off upscaling. Fight the djinn naked and bare handed if you want challenge but don't spend hours trying to kill a nearly unbeatable enemy xD The main goal is still to have fun.
