Spirit of the Bleak Season is a Secondary Boss in Lords of the Fallen (LotF). The Spirit of the Bleak Season is a holiday event mini-boss in the game that can be accessed by doing the LotF Pumpkin Patch Event Questline. An interesting bonus questline in the game themed for the Halloween season. Aside from its distinct appearance, it behaves almost like the Bringer of Nullity and its clones. Note that this is an optional boss, as players do not need to defeat it to advance in Lords of the Fallen (LOTF). However, players can miss an exclusive Armour Tinct and a Headpiece if missed. Bosses are powerful enemies that add challenging experiences to the game. Defeating them grants players rare and/or unique armaments, armor, magic, and other items. In some cases, they are required to advance the story further.

The Best Tips for Spirit of the Bleak Season

The Spirit of the Bleak Season mini-boss is one of the basic fights in the game. Not only it is a limited and optional boss, but the developers seem to have used the same movesets and artificial intelligence of one of the regular enemies in the game which is the Bringer of Nullity. Later on, this entity can be fought as a mini-boss in Cistern. So players who managed to fight the said mini-boss previously will not have a hard time beating the Spirit of the Bleak Season boss. After successfully soulflaying all the required stigma, soulflay the last stigma located in the center of the area and the Spirit of the Bleak Season will spawn. As mentioned previously, it behaves almost exactly the same as Bringer of Nullity. This means this boss will also rely heavily on its twin blades to deal damage. The only difference is its appearance since it wears a pumpkin on its head.
Starting with its basic attack movesets, it can deal a melee combination attacks that can easily be dodged by rolls. It tends to deal with three strikes of melee attacks that have slow delays in between. Players can counter this move by dodging backward, avoiding each melee attack, and countering after the third attack. The third and final of this boss's melee combination attack usually gives you an opportunity to strike back since it has a long wind-up time. So it is safe to wait for its melee attack combination to finish before striking for starters. Probably its deadliest moves are its spinning strike attack and surprise attack. One can dodge the spinning attack by simply dodging to your left or right side. The surprise attack is not a new thing as the regular Bringer of Nullity loves to do this. It will remove itself from the arena by dissipating on the ground.
In a short period of time, players will not be able to deal damage to this boss while not in the arena. So it is best to wait for it and continue moving around the arena. Once it shows itself again, it will jump on you and do an overhead attack with both of its blades. Simply for the half-of-attack animation to finish and dodge accordingly. A backward dodge simply works. Note that both spinning attack and surprise attack have a long wind-up time so you can deal a decent amount of damage if the boss does these moves. When this boss does a spinning attack, it will form a stance where it spins and uses its blades, forming a vertical spinning slash that can be dangerous when not avoided. One can easily be avoided by rolling either to your left or right and countering afterward.
One thing to note is, that this boss has a tendency to close the gap on you by doing dual blade swipe attack which can be surprising at times. We tend to rely on i-frames to dodge this attack so simply roll or dash backward and counter. Do the same strategies and this boss will fall in no time.
