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.

Vulnerabilities[edit]
Compared to other bosses, the Servants have a much higher damage cap at 40%. This makes slow, hard-hitting weapons highly effective on them.
Primary attacks[edit]
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.
- After the cutscene ends and she starts aiming, break the wooden wall to interrupt her attack.
- When the player is quick enough they can reach the platform she is standing on before her cutscene plays.
- 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.
- She is able to turn while aiming but not after locking on.
- Don't pay attention to her body as it will always show her aiming straight forward.
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.
Weapons/Skills[edit]
- Items that benefit from stationary enemies like Fire Grenade work really well against Euterpe when she cycles between her strike and arrow shot attack due to the fact that she cannot move while in this phase. They also work fairly well in her arrow shot+arrow rain phase, just not as effective for longer duration items.
- For her arrow rain+arrow shot phase, weapons that have long windups like Toothpick do a lot of damage as her arrow rain's path is predictable and she cannot hurt you when you're on a platform. Weapons like Impaler (Weapon) also do a lot of damage when she lands as she cannot move and is next to a wall.
Kleio[edit]
Attacks[edit]
- Description: Does a front flip while slashing with one of her tonfas.
- Can be blocked, parried, and dodge rolled.
- Description: Does 2 slashes forwards and a third upwards.
- Can be blocked, parried, and dodge rolled.
- Description: starts on a platform or wall at one side of the room, charges up and spins across the room. The trajectory of the attack is shown by a yellow beam of light like the time keeper.

Strategy[edit]
Vulnerabilities[edit]
What is this boss vulnerable to? dying, of course
Primary attacks[edit]
Front flip slash
- Is a basic melee attack that van both be dodged and parried.
- During the chase constantly moving will prevent her from attacking.
Triple slash
- Is a basic melee attack that van both be dodged and parried.
- During the chase constantly moving will prevent her from attacking.
Frisbee
- The trajectory of the attack is clear.
- Jumping over or ducking under is an easy option as the trajectory is a straight line and does not change once the attack is initiated.
- Can be parried mid attack, cancelling it.
Weapons/Skills[edit]
Anything that has a long windup works well for her slash attacks, as it has low range and a long downtime, which offers the player a generous amount of time to charge weapons like flint.
Lore[edit]
Calliope, Euterpe and Kleio are the servants of the Queen, charged with protecting her. The description of one of the servant outfits hints at a fourth servant but of the king. This could mean there is a fourth servant but their whereabouts and identity are unknown. Alternatively, it may refer to The Hand of the King.
In the High Peak Castle, a lore room will have various instruments from the Lighthouse, as well as a weapon rack for a Wrecking Ball, a Gilded Yumi, and Bladed Tonfas, all of which are weapons used by the servants in their boss fight.
Calliope, Euterpe and Kleio are the names of three out of the nine muses of Literature, science and art in Greek Mythology.
