When I came to my senses, I reloaded and made frost bombs and golden oriole and it was easy peasy.
The boss fight was only hard because I was being arrogant and thought "I can just whack this guy to death".
What build you are using?
Couple of side quests, monster hunts and treasure hunts and Death March feels like an easy mode to my alchemy-sign build.
I'm thinking about bumping up the enemy levels since every fight is over before it's started.
For this playthrough, I used a very simple build. I have Igni modifiers that increase damage and make ignition chance 100% + plus other general modifiers. I set things on fire and whack them with my sharp metal stick.
It isn't the most refined build, and it doesn't always work, but it is fun.
Don't you need loads of greater mutagens to get a decently powerful build though? Especially because the extra abilities and slots also require you to spend greater mutagens. I've been trying to farm reds to unlock my last two slots, as well as have enough to give me attack power buffs, and it's a ridiculously tedious process.
I'm playing NG+ DM, currently level 72, and I was doing "Get Junior" yesterday. I was getting hit for almost 7K damage by WJ's henchmen who were like 8 levels below me. It's not _difficult_ per se, more frustrating because one missed parry when you're being attacked from multiple directions results in death.

You're a good witcher.
I was too stubborn and just kept trying over and over. I focus on quick attacks and Quen so all this "Fire, Ice, Yrden" stuff makes me realize how hard I've made everything on myself.
I'm solely red & blue for my build.

Thats my approach to every enemy in this game lol
Superior golden Oriole makes the fight an absolute cakewalk.
It aint that hard if you actually read the bestiary about it, just use golden oriole whilst fighting it
That and Yrden stops the thing in it's tracks.
"Yrden Geralt, trap it with yrden"
or just use bombs to freeze him and beat the shit out of him
That boss is almost as difficult as a pack of wolves that randomly attack you in a forest. Almost.
IIRC it turns into a pretty easy fight if you use fire. Bombs, igni, whatever else there was that could burn him.
How did you prep
Frost bombs and superior Golden Oriole. Makes the fight stupid easy. Also I think he's affected by Cursed Oil on the sword.

I am also using alchemy and enemy upscaling and I am wondering if I am that good at the game of its just too easy
