Mistress of the Night will shroud herself in ice and vanish, reappearing near the player to execute a series of kicks. Continuously dodge to the side, with about a second between each kick.
Punishing Kick
Mistress of the Night will light her cigar and then deal a strong spinning kick. Dodge behind her and attempt to attack her back.

Corruption Blast
Sometimes, when you get too close to the boss, she will slam her lantern and create a Corruption blast. This does a ton of damage, so to avoid it, dodge backwards.
Ice Breathe
Mistress of the Night will breathe Ice towards the player. This is the perfect time to run behind the boss and deal damage to her back.

The boss will execute a string of kicks, back to back. There are four kicks in total here, so dodge four times.

How to Beat Mistress of the Night
As previously stated, it’s prettyeasy to get behind Mistress of the Night and attack her back. Remember, dealing high damage to an enemy’s back is aquick way to stagger them,leaving them open for anObliterate Strike.
So, our main goal here is to continuously aim to get behind the Mistress of the Night. This can be done bydodging diagonally toward her, through her Corruption orbs and kick attacks.
Remember, if you end up getting hit by her Corruption attacks, it’s important touse Purple Camellia to remove buildup.
Once you are near the boss,use your charge heavy attack to attack her backsideand knock her down for an Obliterate Strike. Repeat this as much as possible throughout the fight.
When Mistress of the Night goes into hersecond form and turns into a dragon, don’t worry about attacking at all. Instead,keep dodging the dragon(a total of 5 times)until she turns back into her human form.
If you manage to beat the Mistress of the Night fast enough, she won’t turn into the dragon again.
Remember touse Temperance before entering the bossarena and Divine Might before executing an Obliterate Strike. Both significantly increase your damage output.
