Knight of the Blinding Dawn is a miniboss that uses spear to attack its opponent. It is also quick on its feet so try to match his movement to hit him and evade its attacks!
How to Beat Knight of the Blinding Dawn
Time your dodges and parry to create an opening for a clean counter and follow-up attacks. Rinse and repeat until you defeat him!
If you're having trouble dodging or parrying, you can try to do range attacks for a while until you get used to seeing his attack.
Try not to miss any of the Quick Time Events, as they will help you preserve your health or get a free hit. There should be enough time to execute them, so try not to panic and observe the scenario!

Just like you did in the game's intro, spam attack button against the second Eikon of Fire. However, you will need to do some aiming using the L stick to hit it.
The aim assist is still strong so you can just move the cursor close to the boss and it will automatically lock on it.
The Quick Time Events in this fight are mostly Cinematic Evasions, except when the second Eikon of Fire is about to launch a Hellfire. Don't let your guard down and chip away its HP as much as possible to get through this attack easily!
