Waltorious: I eventually managed to do it, but it took a lot of tries. I think I finally just went into an all-out attack on Azar so he couldn't spend time attacking Berengar. I don't remember having trouble with blinding, but it was a long time ago so I'm not sure.
Well I guess it's possible if you try hard enough. I found Berengar dying there a fitting end story-wise, considering what he had done in the past.
cjrgreen: My Geralt usually takes Resistance to Blinding on the next level-up after he learns about Noonwraiths the hard way. This does make the Azar Javed fight a bit easier.
My Geralt never got blinded by the Noonwraiths, since he found out very quickly that they are very susceptible to Aard-Stun-One-Hit-Kill, even with a low level Aard.
