Ludwig's second mouth is lined with eyes. He has eyes on the inside.
+Mr. Creazil And he is the one who said "Fuck the eyes we need blood"
+Philippe Duarte You meam Laurence?
Yeah... I forgot that.
+Mr. Creazil And that is super creepy and disgusting.
+Mr. Creazil I guess he has a lot of.......... IN-SIGHT.
Yeah!!!!!!!!!
The plague crept up the right leg. Gherman has no right leg. Did he amputate himself in a misguided attempt to keep from becoming a beast?
That or he tightened his belt so hard he lost bloodflow to his leg and the tissue died.
Remember, you heal by injecting blood into your right leg...
Also Ludwig's right side is the more beastly
Well he's pretty old and still not a beast, so maybe it worked?
Before more advanced healing strategies, yes Gerhman would've had no choice but too amputate his leg
Calling the blood starved beast the bloodletting beast, calling blood vials blood vessels, get some rest Vaati.
Cynical Weeaboo not rest, he needs less insight
@@jacobmedina9011 lmfao
The bloodletting beast is a different boss
He also called the Pizza Cutter a 'whirligig saw'. Like, what?
Holy crap can I just say that the voice acting in the soulsborne games are just so damn good. Everyone talks about the difficulty and level design while the voice acting is not really talked about. Talk about underrated.
Jon Ayuco Everything about Bloodborne is just incredible. Design, writing, gameplay, voice-acting, music... in my opinion it's just about perfect.
That's because every other character laughs like a maniac.
Valtr is a good example and Gehrman too
yeah definitely! the blacksmith in ds3 and ds1 has such good voice acting and Micolash is just spot on
AzureSymbiote
There's a difference between voice acting and dialogue writing
Ludwig has to be one of the best boss designs I've ever seen, the entire character is dripping with Bloodborne's lore.
He is majestic in his second form. I feel bad for killing him. he really reminded me of Artorias. A once proud and honorable warrior driven to madness.
What until you see orphan kos that fucker is creepy
And yet no "Prepare to Cry" on the character.
Totally reminds me of the Nuckelavee on steroids...and some bad acid XD
It's awesome! He sees his humanity, then hunters ultimately kill him.
Ludwig is one of the best video game characters in recent memory.
I feel I should point out you can also have on any of the church chest pieces, including the executioners chest piece, and talk to Ludwig's head. answer yes and he'll give you the weapon.
+Aknaught92 Really!? Awesome find!
+VaatiVidya I was lucky enough to get it for free too, I just worry about PvP now since I suspect everyone will use it rather than the regular holy blade (like that wasn't strong enough)
I'm a bit worried cos I read there's a new covenant that'll boost its power or something too, oh dear
+Aknaught92 Also if you don't kill Ludwig's head reload then the other npc would kill him
+koheikyouji spoilers
At the end of the nightmare you get a new rune, dun dun durrrr
-----
For quality I believe the LHB will be better this new blade doesn't scale so high with skill
+VaatiVidya yeah, it's like with the nun, Ludwig will be like 'oh you're from the church', and such.
Ludwig's Beast form looks like a man mixed with a horse, like he's a monstrous version of a Knight upon his steed; which is quite symbolic I find. That or he's a fucked up centaur.
yeah, like a rape horse
I'll tell my kids that this is Bojack Horseman
@@madafaka8784 oh
Also he IS a Reference for an Enemy Guts From Berserk Fight, who looks like a deformed Horse
Solaire: Praise the sun!
Ludwig: Praise the moonlight!
Praise the sun and the guiding moonlight
Alfred: Praise the good blood!
Good luck good hunter, may you find your worth in the waking world

Vile bloods: PRAISE THE BAD BLOOD!
I wish there was more bloodborne lore videos, sorry to all you dark souls fans but bloodbornes lore and story is so much more interesting to me
Agreed.
I agree with u
It is, Dark souls story was fun the first time around but i'm kind of hating on fromsoftware with all the cycle bullshit in most games.
Josh M bloodborne certainly has superior lore I just wish it wasn't ps4 exclusive
Reasons? I do not agree with you. I would like to know why you think that though.
Ludwig is ashamed of himself.
He acts like a beast for half of a combat, screaming and kicking.
For the other half, when the Holy Blade reveals itself, he tries to fix his acting...he's trying to be human again.
Obiviously, he can't.
The Holy Blade shows mercy on him and his condition, and as a reaction Ludwing wants to be worthy of it.
...release himself, for the last fight.
Great characterization...no descriptions... just a bossfight.
My feelings...i'm ready for another "Prepare to Cry", Vaati.
p.s. sorry for my bad english
Your English is actually just about perfect!
I wonder when people are gonna stop saying "sorry for my english"

@@andre_sw8114 nothing 🤦
I NEED a prepare to cry for Ludwig.
If you do NOT kill ludwig's head and come back later, you will find him dead with an arrow in the eye! D:
Nobody truly knows.
If you don't kill him and come back to see him dead can you still get the moonlight blade
Kwesi Assan
Probably
I killed simon tho lol
@Anna Margiotta do you mean you came back after a NG cycle? If so, and I'm sure you know this by now. But it resets all bosses. Including dlc
Welcome home Moonlight Blade, we missed you.
Also, one accomplishment for the Souls series that has gone largely unnoticed: When is the last time you heard anyone complain about Souls DLC? Nearly all the other games I play, people groan and moan and generally dislike the DLC, saying that it feels tacked on or annoying or should have been in the game to begin with. With Souls games? Their DLC feels like DLC should, an expansion, a new experience that adds more to the game and is something people look forward to.
+Jordan Smith The DLC is always spot on. Even in the largely hated DS2. In fact, in DS2, some felt that the DLC fixed the game.
My guess is that they just really know how to build together parts. DS1 is so interconnected, and the DLC always are satisfying tibits, it makes sense. It's like the take the doughnut holes and make jelly filled doughnuts, compared to the regular glazed that is the main game.
+Jordan Smith FROM's DLC fucking stinks, mate. What do they wanna sell to me? A new 15 hour experience with a lot of care and unique ideas thrown into it, feeling like a worthy expansion of the game? Shit, fuck that, I want they to cut stuff they already made for the game before release and sell it to me in 4 15$ expansion packs with a 50$ season pass. That's how it's done
+Bruno Gonzaga u obviously know nothing, but what the Internet makes up as standard practice
Willow4526 Bro, if you wanna pay for good new content instead of a chunk stripped off from the base game purely for profit, be an idiot about your purchases
I love that transition with Ludwig because for the first half of the fight, you're fighting a beast who's lost all reason, a monster of the Nightmare, a creature driven by bloodlust that will kill without mercy. Then once he falls and sees the green, cosmic glow of the Moonlight Sword beside him, he retains his humanity and fights you as a shadow of his former self. He's clinging on to that last sliver of light, the only thing that's pushing him on.
It's so sad, yet so noble at the same time.
can you believe less than 10% of the player base have beaten laurence?
Joseph Payne yeah
I actually can believe that. I'm part of the other 90%.
Joseph Payne 10%? I was expecting more since I defeated him solo and I believe more people are better at the game than me
Joseph Payne where did you get that information? just asking
@@maximilianwonschik1304 achievement statistics

@@prskt7584 never will i understand why soulslike fans get so angry at people who summon in their _own_ playthroughs
After playing this dlc i have decided that Bloodborne is my favorite game that Miyazaki has made, the bosses are just so god dam amazing i got chills every time i would fight a boss.
Don’t get me started on Ludwig… so clean
Aboood165 laurence seemed kinda lazy in design imo. They could’ve made him just as disgusting as ludwig
He was following the Cleric Beasty turn the Healing Church had
Aboood165 HAVE YOU FOUGHT ORPHAN OF KOS?!
N1GHTM4RE DR34M I liked Orphan of Kos, he made me feel like a badass while fighting him.
I love how you can clearly see how Ludwigs Holy Blade was inspired by the Holy Moonlight Sword. How the blade increases in size when imbued with magic showing where the workshop got the idea for Ludwigs Holy Blade.
My dik
I believe every game that the DS team works on has the moonlight great sword in it in some way. bloodbourne was the first to not have it..
until now at least
I suppose since the succeeding Church hunters didn't have shit in arcane, the workshop decided to just add a huge blade that the silver sword could fit it in order to transform the weapon into a greatsword...
+Sam Adams Which makes me wonder. There is a connection from Demon's Souls to Dark Souls 1 and 2, tho people don't like to put the games in the same world.
So maybe Bloodbourne is also in the same world as Dark Souls. Being much farther along tech wise, having guns and no shields, this could be way waaay WAY into the future.
+jirodyne Nope. From just like that sword.
Did you know that most beasts in the hunter's nightmare won't attack you, even if you don't have the torch equipped?
They'll actually follow you at a distance but if you turn to look at them, they start cowering
I like that Ludwig's human side awakens during the fight, as if his soul is being cleansed and redeemed by death.
Nice ending there. good content also
Exactly GREAT ending
+carter walters Gotta agree, that was a really GREAT way to end the video
also, the choice of weapon when delivering the final blow also PERFECT
cant wait to play this
He killed the cameraman!!
He's blood crazed!!! Oh NOOOO
How ironic would your comment be if you'd added an R to the end of both your names 😂
lol
I just now playing this game and wow it's awesome. Ludwig is such a tragic character. 😞
Can I add you on PlayStation so we can co-op the DLC
@@semi912 hell yea. Just got the ps4 I'm not online yet and I don't have the dlc. But add me xHurdyGurdyManx
@@xXHurdyGurdyManXx hell yeah
@@xXHurdyGurdyManXx I just add you
I have a bit of a question about the Hunter's Nightmare. Is it that, once a Hunter becomes blood-drunk they get physically drawn into the Hunter's Nightmare where they are subjected to an eternity of hunting, or is it more like once a blood-drunk Hunter dies, the Hunter's Nightmare is where their soul goes like an afterlife? Like the Hunter's Nightmare is like Hunter Hell?
Because depending on how it works then it also paints the Hunter of Hunters covenant in a new light. Example: if it's the former, where a wandering blood-drunk Hunter gets kidnapped into the Hunter's Nightmare, then the Hunter of Hunters are performing the ultimate mercy killing to save the poor corrupted Hunters from an eternity of torture. But if it's the latter where it's more of an afterlife, it's still essential to keep others safe from the blood-drunk Hunters, but it takes on a much more tragic light as they know that even though they put the poor bastards down that their suffering has only yet to begin.
Knowing Fromsoft thought, it's probably the latter.
I believe it's the latter. I gather that once a hunter has gone blood-drunk, they no longer return to the dream after death, rather they end up in the nightmare. I don't think any hunter is aware of this, including the hunter of hunters, as I think there has never been a return from the nightmare/insanity.
Well Hunters like Gascoigne, Henryk, and the Cainhurst Crow don’t show up at all so it’s probably the former.
It's actually both in a way the hunters physical form stays out yet when they die or beasthood Occurs it takes their mind into the nightmare we know as Laurence's skull is in the grand cathedral as a beast now hunters who are already die come there physical as there's nothing left of Ludwig in the waking world (fun fact Ludwig still Wares the garb of the healing church and had detractors as before fully transformed he still fought for the church)
Hello Bloodborne my old friend...I've come to play with you again
Because a nightmare softly creeping, left DLC while I was hunting.
And the eyes that were planted in my brain, still remain...
Within the school of Mensis.
TheScaleless I love this
I hate this
Does anyone else notice how Ludwig looks like the creepy rape horse from Berserk? Ik there is a lot of references to Berserk in the Souls series but this one looks the most obvious
+Minus T.H. oh man, not this fucking horse...
wheel skelotons, Artorias/Guts, certain armore looks. Yeah there is alot, and I love it. Berserk is one of the best mangas ever.
+Minus T.H. more than just that from the fight, there is two major references.
let the festival begin...
EzeTarget The moonlight sword is the moonlight child as well from berserk. IT WOKE HIM FROM HIS NIGHTMARE. Thats Just like the child when he woke gutts up from his berserk state after the demon alligator and whale fight.
I got off a call beyond underneath Ludwig it blew all the damagable limbs off and got him to half health. One in a million hit actually getting the majority of the hits to nail him just glorious.
To all the people complaining about this guy summoning someone, Ludwig on NG+ and higher is hard as fuck. 9 times out of 10, your NPC rarely ever makes it to the halfway point where Ludwig spams his Holy Moonlight Sword so you're basically wasting insight. I beat Ludwig on NG+ with a beast blood pellet and bolt paper with my +10 threaded cane and it was a nightmare. I'll probably co-op with someone from now on with Ludwig since i'm about to enter NG+2 and i'm one that is always fighting a boss solo lol.
Ludwig is extremely hard also in NG. In NG npcs don't EVER make it to the midpoint of the battle.
i beat ludwig after facing him for the first time on ng+4 he was pretty tough but it actually didnt take me too many tries
Slow Mobius r/imverybadass
Hint: Summon valtr, makes the fight wayyyyy more doable in ng+
Paul N. I had no idea how effective beast blood pellets were. They made the fight
so much easier (but not by much lol)
Love how Ludwig's beastly figure actually morphs into the face of a tormented old man during the transition of the fight.
God damn it. They had to do it. They just HAD to put the Moonlight Great sword in the game.
+Mr Darkwraith well considering the importance of the moon in this game, it seems kind of fitting
+The wolf King Plus the fact that it has been in every game they make, since the very first one.
Exactly it kind of shocked me that it wasn't in the game from the beginning
+Mr Darkwraith I know! Isn't it wonderful?! >;8]'
+Mr Darkwraith Am I missing something? Do you guys know this sword from somewhere else besides Bloodborne? Plz, enlinght me!
VaatiVidya: "For the Night of the Hunt is -"
Me: "Dark, and full of Terrors!"
10:16 I'm pretty sure everyone said yes because they paid for the dlc.
Weird, he never said that to me.
(Spoilers)
Ludwig asked if his hunters were "Spartans of the healing church" like he wanted, he never asked me if I saw that 'thread of light'.
+Brandon Salomone Yeah, the dialogue changes based on whether or not you are wearing healing church garb when you talk to him.
DLC is 10/10
+Campbell Louden DLC is 100/10 it breaks the fucking meter!!!
+Azure Flame King its over 9000!

2/10 IGN, needs more Cod
2 years later and i stand by this
1:09
Wow! How did I never notice that shadow on the wall before!? That's such a dead give away!
Ik it's 6 years old but can you explain pls
@@Darkempire-ef6zc If you look on the wall as he runs by, you can see the shadow of the old hunter with the Beast Cutter who's perched up above.
this video is pretty fun to watch having beaten the DLC, and knowing what happens and when. No spoilers, but the last 2 boss fights are some of the best in the entire game in my opinion, the 2nd to last probably being on par with Gerhman
M would obliterate German though.
+Mr.Satan Not as long as he is "first hunter"
+Ale DG If you could put the two against one another I do believe M would win. But that's just because I like her better all around.
+Mr.Satan So what your saying is that she would win based on your personal preference? Ok then lol.
Love all but 1 of the DLC bosses (sees OoK in the distance crying)
Hey, so I'm guessing you haven't gotten the helm from the League yet? I noticed an awesome little detail...if you have stomped 5 Vermin and return to where Valtr is in the Forbidden Wood, he'll be gone, and leave his helm behind for you. If you summon him after this has happened, he won't have his helmet on...he's kind of a blonde prettyboy under there. He also isn't "Valtr, Master of the League" anymore, but "Valtr, the Beast Eater" as referenced in the description of the Constable's Set (which he wears.)
I've yet to get my hands on the DLC yet, so I really wanna know whether or not Valtr really has only one eye, the item description of his helmet says it it has only one hole for one eye, and that it was perhaps what its original owner had, does he look like he lost his left eye or something? does it have a scar on it?
+Razor After i saw this video, i also think that Valtr, the Beast Eater is a younger version of Valtr, Master of the League. For me it looked like he deals more damage and has more HP. I didn´t heal him once, but he stand the fight till the near end.
So he eats beasts? Gross
Maybe he wears the helm to stop himself from eating beasts
Luiz Nanini Or, he probably felt shame for falling into the temptation of eating beasts, so he decided to leave the helmet for you as the new master of the league
Finally the expansion is out , so i can watch new videos from you!
But I am not going to watch this one until i beat the expansion first , man , you already played it AND made a video about it! That is really impressive !
That's impressive, in 10h I barely got the time to dl it.
Maybe he got a press copy cause that's really an impressive amount of work to put in right after finishing the DLC.
+MrQuelquDeux I started playing about 24 hours before the game was officially released, still had to pull an all-nighter to get this video out. I still haven't beaten Ludwig!
VaatiVidya Oh then ,thanks very much for your work , are the new bosses any hard ?
+VaatiVidya How many nostalgia bombs just hit you when you say that moonlit sword?
+VaatiVidya I just noticed that the mouth on the side of ludwig's head, which can clearly be seen at 13:32 is full of eyes, maybe he went completely mad/beast insane, because he had so much insight, because he literally has such eyes inside/on the side of his head.
Fantastic video. Really enjoyed it :)
Thanks bro
Your videos are brilliant, cant wait for you to do a lore run through of this new dlc, keep up the awesome work
The beast cutter...

THE WOMANS VOICE IS THE EMERALD HERALD GODDAMNIT
Love how Ludwig moves change. First phase he attacks like a beast thrashing around, but in the second he stands up right and wields the sword like a man
i love that calming tone in your voice because it fits the ambiance of these games with more of story than meets the eye.
Ludwig sounds like a Jockey from LFD 2 before you deliver the final blow. Surely I can't be the only one who heard it.
You are not alone there sir
Im now imagining a Ludwig mod for L4D2. It terrifies me.
+OhMan ThatGuy Both are trying to emulate a horse sound, I think - which makes sense given the name "Jockey" and what Ludwing looks like.
+OhMan ThatGuy He sounded like a horse being raped by a bone ashed cannon to me.....seriously, dafuq were those noises? lmao.
They're horse noises he does kinda look like one with the long face and all
Fuck man, I want to get this DLC so bad, but Fallout 4 has my life by the balls right now.
+JimJamBanx I got bored of it after like 70 hours, but played fallout 3 and new vegas for hundreds more *shrug*
ayyy fellow hikki fan
+JimJamBanx Phhhh Fallout is nothing compared to Bloodborne.
Gold Tager which is why fallout sold 12 million in a few days and bloodborne sold 2 in months?
Gold Tager
Not really. Both are good.
"If your NG+ character is below level 60." That sounds so funny to me since almost all my characters are near level 70 when I am just getting to the Nightmare of Mensis, on normal NG, before even heading to the DLC. :D 65-70 anyhow.
yeah how do you finish the game without being over level 70 is beyond me. I was level 100 when I finished.
@@amemename im lvl 230 before celestial emissary and nightmare of mensis,
@@amemename I don't know wtf I did, but in one of my files, I cleared the game at level 56
You know Vaati, I've been watching a lot of people vs Ludwig lately, and I've noticed something. The music is perfectly done, and it fit's the fight to an absolute T...
Call me crazy, but I think Miyazaki implemented some sort of system wherein Ludwig will either attack faster, or hold his attack for a few seconds, to be in tune with the peaks in the music. Especially when the choir hits the high notes, that seems to be when Ludwig does his big swings, plunges his sword into the ground, or fires off his Moonlight blasts. I've seen it a little too often for it to feel like just a coincidence. Your thoughts?
Ludwig is
Beethoven's first name.
I just realized something. Ludwig has the "moonlight" greatsword. Ludwig V. Beethoven wrote "moonlight" sonata. Ludwig's boss fight moves with the music. Beethoven is actually the boss in this game.
Are you still curious two years later? Because you're not the only one to have noticed that. He definitely moves with the beat. For that reason, he's one of the best-designed boss fights ever.
@@alec6583 Lots of bosses, almost all of them, will do that. It's pretty subtle, but an amazing work of game design.
Same goes for bosses in dark souls
I am currently on the last area of the DLC, the fishing hamlet, and because im a sap whos so attached to his character, I'm doing it on NG+5...Brutal. That said, this DLC is a 10//10 for me. The best bossfights in the game, the best atmosphere, the coolest weapons, absolutely in love. Fromsoft did it again. Great video vaati.
Ludwig has the greatest soundtrack in the entire game. Of course the other tracks are great too.
Finished Bloodborne for the first time not that long ago (maybe a couple of months ago) and your videos are truly incredible. Thank you.
Beautiful as always, I recently picked up old hunter and really enjoyed this run
Ludwig was a NIGHTMARE to deal with.
The DLC has been great so far. I just beat Ludwig. Damn what a way for them to introduce him. I also love the dynamic of fighting hunters. It feels so gritty and brutal. Can't wait to play more.
I just started playing Bloodborne about a month ago and your videos have been invaluable to me. Probably my favorite lore features on RUclips. :)
I download your videos and archive them, your vids are never boring and i can watch them over and over again. Awesome job man!
I don't know if it's just me but I've noticed that its non magical form resembles artorias' sword
I love the unbuffed form. So cool looking.
+Asher Cruz (Nero) Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I love the look this time, I always like slimmer greatswords.
+Asher Cruz (Nero) That was my thought. I use Maria's set now, which obscures your left arm perfectly from behind. With how you carry the sword, it really makes my character feel like Artorias. And I love it.
Wait, does the Ludwig fight insinuate that the Moonlight Greatsword in the BB universe can corrupt minds like the "knowledge" you obtain from the Great Ones ?
That would make the weapon so much more interesting to make it now seemingly "evil".
+Chips Light What means now? Its a completly different weapon then the MLG in Dark Souls. (In a lore perspective atleast)
+Chips Light Uh...not really. If you're wondering whether the sword is what made Ludwig turn into a beast, then no. He became a beast for the same reason everyone else does, too much exposure to the addictive blood. In fact, you could say that the MLGS does the exact opposite, because as soon as Ludwig saw it he started to regain his sanity and was able to actually speak instead of just doing creepy horse noises and crap. I mean it is the Moonlight "Holy" Blade afterall, so I doubt a holy blade is evil y'know?
xXDarkxIdealsXx
Well, by itself, it was never stated that the Eldritch being were evil, just too powerful to understand, which drove the people of church mad and turns them into beasts due to the blood. I also like the idea that there's actually eldritch stuff (cause the blade is probably of eldritch origin due to having a "moonlight blade") that actually soothe the mind of people, that would insinuate that the world could have taken a better turn with item more similiar than the MGS.
+Chips Light The sword's description kind of hints at it, too:
"An arcane sword discovered long ago by Ludwig.
When blue moonlight dances around the sword, and it channels the abyssal cosmos, its great blade will hurl a shadowy lightwave.
The Holy Moonlight Sword is synonymous with Ludwig, the Holy Blade,
but few have ever set eyes on the great blade, and whatever guidance it
has to offer, it seems to be of a very private, elusive sort."
+Chips Light An Eldritch power that soothes the mind... that sounds like something that could be used to manipulate you. It'd make sense I guess. The Moon Presence seems to put your character in a trance when it comes out of the moon, with your Hunter needing to have eaten all three parts of the Umbilical Chord to snap out of it. Maybe the Moonlight Greatsword functions in a similar way, it's alluring and soothing to the mind, but it's not exactly that positive. (Ludwig is still trying to cut the crap out of you even after regaining his sanity)
You're incredible! Not only you understand the story lore etc. You're great at the game and you are so intresting to listen to with the soothing clear voice! Never stop doing videos mate!
Hunters: Trying to get into the Research Hall.
Ludwig: haha glowy sword go brrrrrr
Go RAAAAAHHHHHHHHH !!!!
The L2 on the moonlight blade is my favorite, knocks back almost everything.
I hear Boomhammer, I think Nora.
+MrSuperUrahara I imagine people may start doing Nora builds.
+MrSuperUrahara That was the first thing that came to mind when I got the Boomhammer as well, but I'm too lazy to start a fresh character for that reason. xD
Boop! :D
So I've been paying Bloodborne for quite some time, first time I beat it was over 5 years ago. I now have come back to it to FINALLY do the DLC and of course I knew to come here for the story and overall layout of what the DLC is. So far I have made it to the Orphan and when I got there... I finally had a realization that I was doing NG+2 on my first time. But now I am determined to complete the DLC in NG+2 Solo! Thankyou for amazing Videos as always!
Thank your for yet another great video,as an artist myself I really appreciate all the work you do, helping out the artists and players. Keep em common please 🤠
Love how Ludwig looks. From continues to have the best monster design.
"Aah, you were at my side, all along..."
That ending shot of the sword coming forward was so good! Fantastic video!!
can listen to your videos the whole day. Awesome job.
Did anyone else feel like the guy at 8:05 was mocking/imitating gilbert? Its at his window and the guy fighting is a beast
Ugh that ending was SUCH A TEASE! C'mon I actually wanted to the full moveset and stuff not just 3 swings... Besides that great video, as usual.
Amazing video: and that showcase of the Moonlight weapon at the end was perfect 😁
I know I've come ranting at you in the past but this video was very well made. I started my DLC run in NG++ so I had quite a hard time with this area in particular.
Bloodborne is the first souls game I’ve played, and I did have trouble here and there in the bossfights but made sure I solo’d every boss. I finally met my match against Ludwig. Took me 8 hours to finally beat him lol When I got that second visceral I was screaming in euphoria 😂
Love the ending with that sword. Like the cliffhanger once the villain obtains the all powerful threat to humanity 😎 👌
My experience with the dlc was so hard and difficult but after a few times I got to enjoy it I especially liked the weapons you get in the dlc areas so awesome
Of all the information you provide, and even your accent (2 me), absolutely makes your videos so fantastic. There's so much about the lore I didn't know and thanks to you, the game isn't as mysterious as it used to be, but now is more fun! Keep up the great work, man, #oneofmyfavoriteyoutubers
My god, I'm at new game+ 7. The boss that took me longest to beat in the entire From Software series was ornstien and smough. Then this dlc arrived.. oh dear god. From my experience so far , there is 5 bosses in the dlc and 3 of them aboslutly wrecked me for a while. They made Ornstien and Smough look like tutorial. I don't know if it was because I was at new game+ 7 or I had lost some skills sins it was a while ago I played bloodborne but oh man what a feeling it was when they were finaly beaten.
Conclusion: Great dlc, alot of new weapons and amors. Challening bosses and cool new areas. Also, this dlc has answers to our questions about the lore, so prepare for Vaati Videos!
Has anyone ever told you, you have a very soothing voice?
Put all the pieces of the lore together with this game and you come to the understanding that Laurence was the one who started the outrage of the beasts
Your voice is amazing. Just perfect for lore and just presenting ideas in general.
I just want to point out that u dont get the old hunter bell just because of the dlc, it was added in a patch seperate to the dlc
So I've thought about this for a long time and I want to share my opinion. It really starts with a question. How does Ludwig have the moonlight greatword? It's indeed the same sword but aged, given it's primary form. Idk how he obtains it, but the fact that he does have it connects the universe of dark souls to bloodborne. Here's my theory. He finds it in the chalice dungeons. The timeline of bloodborne happens after the events of dark souls. We can clearly see characters in dark souls like slave knight Gael act like the beasts in bloodborne. Magic dissappears for the most part and guns start to appear. But in chalice dungeons again there is magic used by the guys wearing some armor that is similar to the abyss guys and using pyromancy. There's lamps instead of a bonfire. Seath oddly looks similar to Kin in bloodborne too as with that crazy king that starts to turn into something reminsent of seath in dark souls 3 and is crazy searching out knowledge as with everyone in bloodborne. Bloodborne could even possibly be a painting by that girl in dark souls. BUT one thing is certain, they are 100% connected bc of the sword.
I had no idea that it was pretty much the exact same sword. Considering we do find armour of knights in the Chalice dungeons, I now wonder if the great ones are what arose after the fires died out. Oh, this is very interesting!
Dude, that sword is in almost every Fromsoft game, e.g. King's Field or Ninja Gaiden. Doesn't mean they're all connected man, it's just a gimmick.
Everything about the DLC was just great. The weapons especially, I think my favorite addition was the Amygdalan Arm.
knowing bloodborne lore and hearing stuff that hints at it is amazing
I like how the serrated buff against Ludwig disappears in his second phase, because in the phase you're not fighting a beast anymore
Quality content my friend
I come to these videos for two reason amazing lore about super cool games and his amazing voice
Love these videos even years later! Still waiting for a new hunt! From softs biggest mistake is not taking another trip through yarnem
He reminds me of Grendel from Beowulf
Ludwig that is
He reminds people of rapehorse.

im getting reckt on this DLC, getting one shotted at 20 feet by chain wielding psychos
Your voice makes me really calm, perfect for a lore narrator👍
I LOVE Ludwigs battle of everything in it with the amazing cutscenes and music.
i was waiting for this video to come out ! i jumped on my notification ! haha
so did I lol
+Lahkesis Nyx As did I xD
sigh I did 2
I swear that transition at the end was crispppp. Better than the boss XD
Man, you have such great voice, it's so comfy and nice to listen, keep with up with your great work!
Really cool video, and what a nice edit at the end, very slick.
As an Xbox player, I am now debating whether to build myself a gaming PC for around 800$ or buy a PS4 solely for this game... I guess I'll wait on FromSofts next releases to decide :( I cri evri tim
well considering the game inst on PC id say the ps4 if you want to play
Marin Chapuis "gaming pc ". "$800" better of getting a ps4 if that's the cost restraint
Ps4, more exclusive games
Ludwig's beast form is inspired by the rapehorse from berserk.
Rapehorse? Cannibal the Musical reference?
Your channel is seriously amazing man. Keep up the great work.
I cant wait for your lore video on the dlc i think alot of stuff was answered in the dlc and really want to hear your thoughts!
