Grabbed from another thread:
Even this couldn't help me and I had to drop the difficulty on easy. And then I've won, but again not that easy.
I'm not sure why they made this fight so tough.
Why did I go to it in the first place?
In any case I got… um… kinda stuck:
I didn't give the necromantic scroll to the mage in chapter 2. Talked about it with the smith in chapter 3 and he told me how to open a secret portal - it's near Roche's spot, in fact just go through the door near Numa's spot (armwrestler). I get teleported to an area with a puzzle and then an entity called Operator. This entity can reset my skills but I don't want that - I want to kill it (yea, saw on google it drops something veeeery nice).
I cannot kill it. I really really really cannot kill it. Maybe I'll drop the difficulty from normal to easy later, but this is the hardest fight I've had in the game so far. I use my standard magic path combo: level 3 Quen, then level 3 Aard, hit, hit and hit as much as possible and then cast 4th sign when available. Drinking swallow and tawny owl prior to the fight doesn't make it easier, seriously. Block doesn't help against this magician, I do endure for a minute or two, and then he summons gargoyles and I'm history.
If you really want to know…
His health and shield are connected to the gargoyles. You have to kill both, and then you can damage him… until he summons two more.
It's one of the most ridiculously hard battles I've ever seen in a crpg. I played the entire game on hard, but I finally gave up and put the difficulty down to easy just for that fight, and it was still a bitch.
I'll be honest though.. it's not really worth it. In fact, after I finally beat him, I decided to reload and chose not to fight him. That just felt like the more proper decision to me.

Operator drops dragonscale needed to craft the special silver sword and although his staff is not the best ingame weapon, it's fancy looking during the fight.
There is something more to that staff - it says it's a quest item? What quest?
And in my case it just didn't sound right to hide from him that I'm not the one he expects.
