Help! Wandering in the Dark on Level 5 [Spoilers]
I'm a bit over my head, I've been struggling with being 2-3 levels lower than the required for the main quests. I didn't realize if I didn't do any side quests that I'd be boned later on. I'm right before the boss fight "Chase the Wild Hunt's warriors" and my silver sword is at 20% repair, I have no potions or useful items and am just having an awful time trying to default this boss.
I'm not allowed to upload images or links, but I have screenshots of my inventory, stats and relevant screens in an Imgur album, you can access by going to imgur.com and appending /a/nUbJM to the end of the domain.
Does anyone have any suggestions with what to do?
Thanks!

I finally gave in and checked the Prima guide...
If anyone else is having trouble with this fight, meditate before you approach and during the battle:
1. Only approach the boss when your Quen shield is up
2. Land (1-2 max) strong attacks with your sword and immediately retreat (it's critical not to take damage)
3. Repeat until boss dies (he will recharge his health under a shield and a few ild dogs for you to attack)
I was one hit away from killing him before he was able to retreat and recharge his health once using this technique. I hope this helps anyone else having trouble.
