From Witcher Wiki
The list of misfortunes that can befall the inhabitants of a village includes plague, war, and taxes. The worst misfortune, however, entails the appearance of a ghostly hellhound known simply as "The Beast". Many bad things can be said about this creature, but they all come down to two things: blood and pain. Lots of blood. And lots of pain.

| "The hellhound, referred to also as the Beast, is a creature of the underworld, a specter that assumes the form of a terrifying hound and tirelessly stalks its victims once it finds their trail. Peasants believe that the hellhound embodies the vengeance of the gods, who send the Beast to punish humans for their wickedness."

- You can run to the spot between the house and that little building beside it. That area is small enough to rest in without being attacked while your vitality is restored.
- If you take the "Stun" hero ability on your Aard there's a chance to stun the beast and kill him in one blow.
- Specter Oil might work, too.
- If you kill the Barghests, the Beast simply summons more of them, so that's a fight you can't win. BUT when you kill the Beast, the Barghests extinguish like a blown-out candle. So concentrate all your attention on the Beast.
