Calliope, Euterpe and Kleio are a trio of bosses fought in the Lighthouse.^TQatS They are the Servants of the Queen and each one fights using a weapon that represents one of the 3 stats in the game: Survival, Tactics, and Brutality. This boss is unique, as the player must survive a chase with the Servants and an ever rising fire, before fighting them in specialized arenas. They are exclusive to the Queen and the Sea DLC.

When entering the Lighthouse,^TQatS a fire starts to spread through the building. The player must climb upwards to escape the fire while being chased and attacked by Calliope. A third of the way through the level, Calliope stops you to fight one on one. When her health is reduced to zero, the fight stops and she drinks a health potion and moves upwards.

Partway through, Euterpe joins the chase. Two thirds through the level there is another fight, this time with Calliope and Euterpe. When their health is reduced to zero the chase starts again, and partially through the last section Kleio joins the fight, the third and final one of the Servants. When reaching the top the final fight starts with all three Servants at the same time. During the fight against all three, if one dies, the other two become faster and stronger, when a second one dies, the last one becomes even faster, stronger and attacks faster. Who ever is killed last will drop their respective weapon.

Primary attacks[]

How to defend against attacks.

Aimed shot

Upon first encounter she will start with this attack before starting her chase.
- When the player is quick enough they can reach the platform she is standing on before her cutscene plays.
  - After the cutscene ends and she starts aiming, break the wooden wall to interrupt her attack.
    - As she is standing close to a ledge it is possible to push her off to deal more damage.
The trajectory of the shot is shown by a blue line while she is still aiming the shot.
- Don't pay attention to her body as it will always show her aiming straight forward.
  - She is able to turn while aiming but not after locking on.
    - The moment it locks on it the marks will turn white. From this moment the trajectory will no longer change. Jump or move away from the trajectory.

Triple shot

The arrows fired are actual projectiles and thus can be parried.

Rain of arrows

Rolling to dodge the arrows into the opposite direction Euterpe jumps will minimize the amount of arrows you need to dodge.
Underneath the platform on the left is a safe space where this attack cannot hit the player, as the platform is the starting point of the attack.

Strike from the heavens

Moving away from beneath her is the best option.
- Area beneath her lights up red showing the area where the player will take damage.
Parrying is possible but the timing is a bit unreliable.
