Beethoven It's really not, there's a difference between personal preference and actual complex perfection in composition. Ludwig's theme is just so, powerful, every instrument and vocal is placed just where it needs to.
King Barney I'm not even talking about personal opinion. Yes, the Opening and the reprise (recapitulation) of Ludwig, the Holy Blade is really good. But everything between is poorly executed. It's the same melody with slight variations looping 5 times. And the strings in that point are screeching too loudly. It just gets noisy after the theme loops for the 2nd time.
The way he covers the deranged part of his face with the sword is so cool. Only showing the calm and composed side of himself after finding his strength.
Out of hundreds of comments!! Finally someone else have noticed!! He covers the eye that is infected with the beastly scourge and shows the human eye, further emphasizing his return to his senses.
In this moment, Ludwig stands as a man once more, and not a beast. In fact - Ludwig takes less damage from weapons that are effective against beasts in his second phase. He has remembered that he was once a man, and in standing upright to wield his blade - is allowed to capture some semblance of his humanity before his death.
But in the background you can still see the parsitic head of eyeballs representing the church he served as their watchful eye And the (potentially) corrupting power of the magical moonlight greatsword at the forefront of the picture All of these things corrupting the image of the heroic face he barely has
I prefer when people have played previous Dark Souls games and react to this fight. It makes it so much more enjoyable to me when they know what the Moonlight Greatsword is.
Probably not, King's Field is pretty old and a bit overshadowed by Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. Hell, the Moonlight Greatsword even appeared in their mech series, Armored Core.
Ludwig: my guiding moonlight Hunter: ....hold that thought please *on the phone to seath* Seath: hello Hunter: did you lose your tail again? Seath: .....how did y- Hunter: yeah......im fighting a deformed human monster horse is that the guy? Seath: ........yes Hunter: *cocks gun* im on it
Lobos's reaction is almost my reaction when I first fought Ludwig. When I got to his second phase, I was in awe because of Ludwig's transformation of recovering his sanity and when he revealed the Holy Moonlight Sword and the music. When I died to his huge AOE, I wasn't even mad. Ludwig is definitely one of the best video game bosses of all time.
Yeah, we know what the tragedy of Ludwig was. Died to him twice and wasn't even mad .. Orphan of Kos though......yeah that made me quit this DLC ... that one is broken and unbalanced..
You know Ludwig is special when he gets his own cutscene midfight (which, might I add, never happened before), regains a bit of humanity and starts using a sword. No other bosses before him did this, not in Dark Souls, not in Bloodborne, they all started using their powers and beastly side more and more. Ludwig was devoted enough to his job as a Hunter that even in this nightmare he still woke up. Even as he falls, he props against his partner, his mentor, the only thing that stayed with him even after he lost his humanity. His sword, he falls down not like a slaughtered beast, but like a proud Warrior and Hunter. This is also him in his monster form, still having limitations, I can't even begin to imagine how the fight would go if he was human. Probably how the fight with Artorias would go if he didn't have his left arm broken. Let's not even talk about the soundtrack which is incredible, I've not seen such a great soundtrack for a boss in years. I do agree that even though it sounds amazing it keeps on repeating and there isn't much difference in it but imagine that this was made for a Boss Fight, not background music, AND KEEP IN MIND THIS IS JUST A DLC, and this soundtrack is better than a lot from the main game, and even other games' sountracks.
He regain some of his humanaty for his love/obsecion for the sword, if i was in his place i would ended with the same destiny, the holy moonlight sword is so fucking amazing!
There is literally nothing bad I can say about this boss. The fight, the lore, and obviously the music and mid cutscene. All amazing Kind of sad to see none of them bothered to talk to him after beating him. He has some very interesting and sad dialogue. One of the best soulsborne characters there is imho..
@@nicolaigiess8006 Alot of them are "in time" with their music actually. Not synced, but in time. The Dancer attacks in 3/4 which is the same as her music and it's the biggest reason why people have a hard time with her, even if they don't realize it.
@@dantebeleren I just rewatched this video and I actually see how the boss kinda does sync. These fromsoft bosses are about to become light work now. Thanks
First half of the fight: AAAAAaaa Aaaahhhh AAAAAAAHHHHHHH ahhha aaaaaaaaaaaaaa AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! 2nd half of the fight: PEW PEW CLANG CLANG CLANG PEW PEW eeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEE PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every other bosses' 2nd form: Anime power-up Ludwig's 2nd form: Regains his sanity (and also pull out a giant magical sword but that's just a minor detail)
It’s also I feel because Bloodborne, compared to other games, has one of the most doable trophy sets to platinum, like a lot of other games have such bullshit trophies that you don’t feel like it’s worth it
When you see this group of people it's so easy to see what makes lobos such a great entertainer/streamer. He's always really expressive while still being completely authentic.
First time playing DLC. I played the DLC on my NG+3 and I struggled so much on Ludwig, the rest was kind of "easy". Except for Laurence which needs the player to "relearn" the game for the dodge i-frames T_T
Ludwigs Bossfight perfectly describes not only the love/hate relationship of most Soulsborne fans to the series but also sums up all the amazing things about these games. Epic music, challenging combat, great lore, incredible atmosphere, bosses that tuck on your nerves to the breaking point (I had moments where I had shaking hands after a bossfight) and the pure euphoria and ecstasy of beating a boss. This bossfight could literally be dubbed "The Soulsborne series in a nutshell".
How nostalgic... the cutscene and that fight coupled with an awesome track brought me to tears when facing him like that for the first time. The best boss fight in Bloodborne. Period.
Bloodborne is when From Software stepped up the composition and passion tenfold. The entire game is a story of tragic characters that you’ll interact with and possibly help, or kill. The music is stupendous and each song is made perfectly for the boss it accompanies.
Amazing as always haha My mind had forgotten of the DLC bosses so I was sad that we were pretty much done last time but now I'm super excited :D so glad I caught this right before my flight haha
Watching this vid again after completing Bloodborne about 2 months ago. I'm still grinning watching it. I honestly didn't end up seeing phase 2 all that often, because of how much phase 1 fucked me over. I'm glad I learned to stay in close when he raises the sword up before the giant slam. The damage the first little AoE does is minimal and it's so easy to get back and stay in close to avoid the energy wave from the sword slam. When I fought Lothric and Lorian in DS3 I quickly noticed that it's basically a modified version of Lugwig's attack. They just made it way easier to avoid; that's assuming you can find him, lock on, and dodge in time since every single time he teleports away to use that attack it breaks lock-on. Having completed both Bloodborne and DS3 finally, Ludwig still ranks among the top 10 of boss fights from both of those games.
Bloodborne really is a fantastic game; hopefully Sony and From can get together to do another "souls-like" game. I feel that with the premise of Bloodborne, really any type of event or setting can take place just because of the nature of "nightmares" or different planes of existence - you could imagine or create all sorts of things. Bloodborne 2 now please
Dragonslayer Ornstein Yeah, because no other company would fund games from a studio that created two extremly well selling games. But Sony is the only one that would make it an exclusive
If you are one of the people who read all the descriptions of items and try to follow the story this fight is so powerful. Finally getting to meet the legendary Ludwig. Best souls encounter imo.
It's a shame that everyone instinctively attacks Lugwig's head without speaking to him, even though of course, for the interaction to take place they had to wear any chest clothing from the church. I always gave him a few last comforting words before leaving, at least letting him know that his efforts in life were not in vain.
God that MUSIC is so good and dodging the beams from the Moonlight GS feel so GOOD and everything about this fight is INCREDIBLE I’d go so far as to say every fight in bloodborne is incredible, except Darkbeast Parl. Nobody loves you, parl.
All this years later I still live seeing the reactions to this. I still remember the first time I did this fight I was immediately taken away by the music first phase felt like he'll but then that cutscene hit my jaw smacked the floor so hard literally died immediately cause I was in shock and the music transition during the phase change ong it was amazing. I can genuinely say I watch the cutscene every time I fight him. Kinda sad that phase 2 feels so easy compared to 1 though because it's not such a random movement where every other attack or combos is insta death especially in higher ng+ cycles but still not the pain I felt fighting Lawrence jfc nightmare fuel but also worth it for the OST
I think it's interesting how Ludwig is basically two completely different boss fights. Other bosses will add new attacks, or summon back up or whatever, but the core of it tends to remain the same between phases. Not so with Ludwig. In the first phase you have the beast, in the second you have the knight, and there is virtually no overlap between the two. Not their attacks, their stances, their vulnerabilities, none of it stays the same. It's honestly rather fascinating to watch. Are there other bosses that are the same way?
Lobos I think even did it twice. He started to talk, and then an obnoxious text-to-voice donation came in and he ran away to cut off the conversation until the donation was done being read.
I'm late I know, but I can explain why this weird phenomenon happened. Lobos had a lot of chances to kill Ludwig much earlier, but he purposely didn't take them. He had planned to fight Ludwig on NG+7 with only his bare fists later, but also just Lobos' attitude in general is that he likes to truly LEARN the fights before conquering them, so he spent all that time wanting to perfectly learn it. So he died a lot, but in the end he killed Ludwig like a pro because he was purposely not winning until he could do the fight flawlessly, or nearly flawless.
The fact that Ludwig is the only one who was able to "be a human" again makes him even cooler. (Well the player is able to turn himself into a crappy beast too,but doesn't count)
Imagine sharing the sheet music to someone like mozart or other musicians in and around that era and telling the story behind it. A holy warrior corrupted and twisted into a beast until the light of the moon had guided him back for one more battle against hell itself.
I think I realized one of the best parts of Ludwig in his first phase, is that the programmers gave him a players mentality, where his best defense is staying offensive, so it really hard to wait him out because as soon as you have an opening depending on your position Ludwig is going to unleash a flurry of powerful quick attacks...oh and he is a giant disfigured Equine! In the 2nd phase he is definitely more hunter but, the MGS just makes it like a fly to a blacklight.
The music still sends shivers up my spine to this very day, and i doubt anything will ever change that. Bloodborme has the best music of any game hands down.
"Aah, you were at my side, all along." *Shivers down my spine*
Lubwig talking to Miyazaki
"MY TRUE MENTOR.
MY GUIDING MOONLIGHT."
This one and gehrmans intro, just so fucking badass
After that cutscene my only words were "WHEN DID SEATH VISIT YOUR HORSE LOOKIN-ASS!?"
Once that dramatic cue kicks in when he's got the sword by his face, gives me freaking goosebumps every time.
Ah LobosJr. This is the same man who later beat Ludwig on NG+7 with nothing but fists
John Schaeffer MAN FISTING A HORSE TO DEATH!
yea, he is insane
Oh man i thought you're just joking but damn LobosJr is a beast!
Holy shit really? What a monster. Father mask off to that gentleman.
John Schaeffer I knew I recognized his name. I beat Ludwig NG+6 with no armor. Then I heard about this guy...
1:19 all those panicking phantoms LMAO
Priceless😂🤣
😂😂😂😂 bro I died seeing that
Fuck I never noticed them lol all running for their lives
Ludwig's theme is one of the best themes in any game by far.
Right up there with gherman's!
Tiger Bears it's overrated
Beethoven It's really not, there's a difference between personal preference and actual complex perfection in composition. Ludwig's theme is just so, powerful, every instrument and vocal is placed just where it needs to.
King Barney I'm not even talking about personal opinion. Yes, the Opening and the reprise (recapitulation) of Ludwig, the Holy Blade is really good. But everything between is poorly executed. It's the same melody with slight variations looping 5 times. And the strings in that point are screeching too loudly. It just gets noisy after the theme loops for the 2nd time.
King Barney And this piece is neither complex nor perfection.
The way he covers the deranged part of his face with the sword is so cool. Only showing the calm and composed side of himself after finding his strength.
It’s like “I’m back bitch”
Out of hundreds of comments!!
Finally someone else have noticed!! He covers the eye that is infected with the beastly scourge and shows the human eye, further emphasizing his return to his senses.
Personally, I would word it as “highlighting the last of his humanity.”
(Not sure why I felt the need to respond to a three year old comment.)
In this moment, Ludwig stands as a man once more, and not a beast. In fact - Ludwig takes less damage from weapons that are effective against beasts in his second phase.

"The music is so good". Little did she know what was awaiting her
Slave Knight Gael also has a wonderful theme
illminate gaming Also Darkeater Midir’a is pretty nice as well
@Victor Fabrício I definitely agree, Gerhmans theme is incredible and perhaps the best ever composed within the Soul's series particularly the Violins
Little did she know she'd become Jacksepticeye's tall Dutch queen
Lady Maria and Ludwig all day. Ghermans is epic too.
I prefer when people have played previous Dark Souls games and react to this fight. It makes it so much more enjoyable to me when they know what the Moonlight Greatsword is.
I've never seen so myself, but has anyone ever seen someone react to the Moonlight Greatsword because of its original existence in King's Field?
Personally I love the fact that it has appeared in almost all of their games.
Also side note I think Bloodborne has the prettiest of all the Moonlight Greatswords.
Probably not, King's Field is pretty old and a bit overshadowed by Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. Hell, the Moonlight Greatsword even appeared in their mech series, Armored Core.
Fair enough. Only reason I even know of King's Field is due happening to find IV's music (Dark Reality), triggering such an urge to play the game.
The BEST way to introduce a staple weapon of the from soft games. Bloodborne is a gem
The presentation of both the weapon and Ludwig are fucking flawless. Absolutely fantastic, holy fucking shit.
You mean a "blood gem" lol.

Actualy, there is another boss that gets an cutscene, and that is Slave knigth gael from Ds3
Yeah that's right, but from what I know no other boss before him had that.
A bunch of bosses have cutscenes mid fight. Artorias, Abyss Watchers and Ornstein and Smough just to name a few.
I love how everybody is groaning and moaning and then, in the middle of all of that, Lobos goes full on pizza cutter mode.
I am so happy to hear someone else praise the music. The music in Bloodborne is fucking phenomenal. An absolute masterpiece.

Big Book of Facts:
If he didn't have your edgelord sword, you wouldn't like him at all.
And also that kickass song
And that soothing voice
And the interesting lore behind him
Also the fact that the Moonlight chad sword is like "The weapon" in the fromsoft games
God that MUSIC is so good and dodging the beams from the Moonlight GS feel so GOOD and everything about this fight is INCREDIBLE
I’d go so far as to say every fight in bloodborne is incredible, except Darkbeast Parl.
Nobody loves you, parl.
Yes man. This game is a masterpiece. Still play it this this day
Honestly bloodborne has the collest version moonlight greatsword in the franchise
When the ost is same epic like the fight itself...
I seriously loved their reaction to the Blasting Front Shockwave attack...it left me with serious flashbacks lol
6:18 Ludwig hurls two magic energy beams

All this years later I still live seeing the reactions to this. I still remember the first time I did this fight I was immediately taken away by the music first phase felt like he'll but then that cutscene hit my jaw smacked the floor so hard literally died immediately cause I was in shock and the music transition during the phase change ong it was amazing. I can genuinely say I watch the cutscene every time I fight him.
Kinda sad that phase 2 feels so easy compared to 1 though because it's not such a random movement where every other attack or combos is insta death especially in higher ng+ cycles but still not the pain I felt fighting Lawrence jfc nightmare fuel but also worth it for the OST
I think it's interesting how Ludwig is basically two completely different boss fights. Other bosses will add new attacks, or summon back up or whatever, but the core of it tends to remain the same between phases.
Not so with Ludwig. In the first phase you have the beast, in the second you have the knight, and there is virtually no overlap between the two. Not their attacks, their stances, their vulnerabilities, none of it stays the same. It's honestly rather fascinating to watch.
Are there other bosses that are the same way?
old comment i know, but if i remember right gael counts as a hollow for the hollowslayer greatsword's bonus damage, but only in phase 2
And then not a single one of them tried to talk to him. Lame.
They did (at least Lobos did), but it was cut out from this video.
Lobos I think even did it twice. He started to talk, and then an obnoxious text-to-voice donation came in and he ran away to cut off the conversation until the donation was done being read.
that Kieth Ballard guy literally said "I hope he didn't have any more dialogue" what are you on about
This video reminds me why I love LobosJr
I don't think I've seen Lobos die this much outside freak challenge runs
Edit: And then he casually completes it no healing in the end.
I'm late I know, but I can explain why this weird phenomenon happened.
Lobos had a lot of chances to kill Ludwig much earlier, but he purposely didn't take them. He had planned to fight Ludwig on NG+7 with only his bare fists later, but also just Lobos' attitude in general is that he likes to truly LEARN the fights before conquering them, so he spent all that time wanting to perfectly learn it. So he died a lot, but in the end he killed Ludwig like a pro because he was purposely not winning until he could do the fight flawlessly, or nearly flawless.
@@Shin_FTW Yeah in the stream he just let ludwig attack becasue he wanted to see all the attacks and learn how to dodge them
What's funny is that he did this with Malenia later on in Elden Ring
When I realized Ludwig was doing the charge up for the moonlight wave I realized *I'm dead.*
The best boss in all the soulsborne games. I will always now use the mlgs to honour the legend of Ludwig.
The fact that Ludwig is the only one who was able to "be a human" again makes him even cooler. (Well the player is able to turn himself into a crappy beast too,but doesn't count)
After dieing several times to him, I swore never to buy a f****ing Ferrari
I always come back to this video. Ludwig's song, the fight as a whole, it's the best in Bloodborne in my opinion.
Imagine sharing the sheet music to someone like mozart or other musicians in and around that era and telling the story behind it. A holy warrior corrupted and twisted into a beast until the light of the moon had guided him back for one more battle against hell itself.
I think I realized one of the best parts of Ludwig in his first phase, is that the programmers gave him a players mentality, where his best defense is staying offensive, so it really hard to wait him out because as soon as you have an opening depending on your position Ludwig is going to unleash a flurry of powerful quick attacks...oh and he is a giant disfigured Equine! In the 2nd phase he is definitely more hunter but, the MGS just makes it like a fly to a blacklight.
Nice seeing Lobos’ reaction on here. Always a joy going back to his whole reaction to the fight, and especially the OST. :]
The music still sends shivers up my spine to this very day, and i doubt anything will ever change that. Bloodborme has the best music of any game hands down.
Loving these videos keep up the good work!
I am proud to say that years later i first tried Ludwig.
Ayyy How was it?
@@pochita7004 hard.
@@SW_Y9 XD If you beaten him Good job if you havent Do keep trying!
@@pochita7004 i beat the game soon after beating the nightmare
I also managed to beat him first try, but i already played the dark souls trilogy so i knew how to fight this kind of boss
...and then there is DSP...
I tried to roll! Didn't work!
I forgot he was the first boss of the DLC. Man, Bloodborne had absolutely no chill.
easily one of the best bosses ever.
Ludwig punishes you for your hubris
That music transition is so damn perfect! Gets me every time I fight him!
So glad you included the seperate hear part at the end of the video!
This boss music has to be one of the best orchestral pieces ever in a video game.
how have I only now found this channel? thanks for finding all these and putting this together
