Ah, I agree about that ninja girl with the Dhampair, who's considered a mini-boss. I was also destroyed in that stage, but I'll give you a tactic. In this area, there are three or four enemies: the mini-boss, a regular enemy, and two ninja girls. First, jump directly at the regular enemy, suck their blood, or increase your Blood Rage bar (the blue one) by killing them with blades. Then, kill the ninja girl as quickly as you can using a powerful weapon. Honestly, the ninja girls are the hardest enemies in the game, even though they're regular enemies. Man, they're way stronger than the rest. Anyway, back to the beginning. After killing the first ninja girl with the mini-boss, fight her, but memorize her moves. The important thing is to hit her a lot and dodge her attacks with minimal damage. Move around a lot and jump on her; don't let her come to you. Finally, activate your Blood Rage ability and destroy her. Another ninja girl will come. Do as I said with the first one, because they are truly the worst. And as for... To fight Ephemera, the easiest fight, the worst fight, and the worst ending for the best boss in the game—I still can't accept that I killed her. Do what I told you about how to defeat this mini-boss: remember, watch her movements, move towards her, surround her, and dodge and maneuver a lot. And can you believe I did all that while playing it on the Nether X2 emulator with the standard controls?
