Just as the fight starts, Hinako transforms into her beast form, which does additional damage. Rinko tends to perform an explosive attack when Hinako is near it. Try to dodge this attack to open a window of opportunity. This boss will summon a number of shadow puppets during the fight. Try to destroy these puppets first because the boss can light them on fire.
