The best way to deal with Forktails is to force them to the ground and attack them from behind. You can force them down to the ground by hitting them with a crossbow bolt, casting the Aard Sign, or throwing a Grapeshot Bomb. You can also roll away from its tail attack which can put you behind it immediately.
You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Draconid oil to deal bonus damage to them. Prepare some Grapeshot Bombs and your crossbow to force them down to the ground incase they are flying. Cast the Quen Sign to protect yourself from their attacks.
