Get your Relict oil on, but forget most signs - Aard just staggers him a bit, and he's not susceptible to Yrden, Igni or Axii. Using dodge instead of rolling prevents delays of landing hits on him. They aren't interruptable and will knock you back, so move away when he starts them, but then quickly attack once his spade is in the ground - that's when he's most vulnerable. In addition to his regular swings, he has an easily dodgeable charge (it looks scary, but you can safely attack him after just a single sidestep) and two area of effect attacks, which will be noticeably outlined on the ground.

However, don't use your best consumables right away, lest you run out of them, as it's almost inevitable that he'll heal from half health to full at least twice before you get the hang of it. Northern Wind is very effective to immobilize The Caretaker in that situation, but it might be better to target the spirits themselves with other bombs. If that's not bad enough, he will also summon large groups of dark spirits, for the sole purpose of healing himself, so you have to be very aggressive and kill them before he gets the chance. Most importantly, he heals large amounts with every hit, so you have to avoid getting hit even once if possible, although Quen can absorb a hit without him healing.

His attacks are fairly slow and predictable, but it takes time to notice the patterns. The horrifying looks alone should be warning enough to not underestimate him, so prepare for a tough fight. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine Review

Regardless though, simply following the dragged body trail will lead you to the dead thief and his murderer - an eyeless monster, only known as The Caretaker. Open the gate to it for another small cutscene, and shortly ahead you may examine the missing thief's lockpick. What you need to do is go to the front door, and when you interact with it a cutscene will trigger, drawing your attention to trails of a dragged body, and then some footsteps, both leading to the back area. You can examine quite a few spots in the front area, but they will only lead to comments about the surprisingly well-maintained garden and Geralt will conclude that, of course, he won't just find the flower laying there. After seeing a hulking figure in the distance, the thief runs off and it's time for Geralt to start his search. Once there, you'll find a scared thief looking for his partner, who's gone missing while they were trying to 'explore' the manor. It's a very good idea to get a few weapon repair kits, then head for the von Everec Estate.
