I read your comment in the other thread too, very good stuff. I did have trouble with the frog my first time too and got stuff on the fight after washing ashore but tbh, the only fight I have actual trouble with in this game, aside from early stuff, is the three Witches when Ciri tags along. That's a bottle neck for me but I can take on pretty much everything else under leveled once I get my andrinline, quen build going. Using those passives is so OP.

Tbh, I can't remember fighting Olgeird... I'm drawing a blank and I've done Hearts of Stone three times. 

The trick to the Crones is patience. It is a longer fight. Keep your distance as much as possible, and stay moving. The goal is to try to get behind the crones for a strike or two (depending if you're using fast or strong attacks), but get out of there as soon as you can. If Ciri gets hit, back off and don't try to engage again until her HP recovers to about 80% or higher. As long as she's zooming around, they can't hit her. Focus on one (I take down the Brewess first, since she's the biggest and most dangerous) but don't shy away from hitting the others if you can. Even when the fight is coming to a close, don't compromise your strategy.

Also, if you are far enough away, and have the three in sight, use a blink attack (holding down the R2) and smash all three - but if you think you're about to get hit while charging, abort.

Once you get the hang of using Ciri, she feels overpowered against everything she fights - even on Death March.

Here's a video with a good approximation:

The witches are definitely the hardest fight imo
