Fast travel back to the Manor Upper-Level site of grace, then retrace your steps through the Troll and sorcerer fight on the stairs. All of those enemies will have respawned, so you should run straight through them. You have a boss fight ahead, so you’ll want to preserve your resources.

If you're having too much trouble with him, you should try keeping your distance and let him come to you.
