fun fact: if you look really closely you can see the youthful innocence draining from me over the course of this video
You quit singing and talking. You looked so miserable. :(
@@progers20 hahaha girl’s gotta concentrate
If you are maining the Saw Cleaver, its best combo is the R1-L1 attacks. That is, Light Attack, followed by a Transform Attack, since transforming your weapon mid combo results in a hit. The Saw Cleaver has some INSANE damage and poise multiplier on its Transform Attack. A lot of bosses will just crumple because of the poise damage of it (that is, go into their visceral attack position).
Poise damage is in every game since this one, so DS3, Sekiro and Elden Ring. Its like an enemy-exclusive status effect, a bar is filled as you attack, with special attacks increasing it the most, and if it gets full they bend the knee and get opened to a Critical Attack by the player.
If you kill the machine gun hunter (Djura's Disciple) in the cave at the end of the red river, you get his gat.
Holly with the delayed but much deserved W!!! The singing in attempt 19... to the numbness at 200+ You definitely blood some bornes! Take some time for yourself! You pretty much ran the worlds longest mental marathon
hahaha yep SO many bornes were blooded
Fantastic job on Ludwig! I admit I used a summon just because I enjoy using them when available. Henriett didn't seem very effective as you mentioned, so I found another summon nearby to use (Valtyr I think) and we did such a great job we both survived the fight - third attempt (first was solo and second with Henriett). I don't care if anyone thinks summoning is casual behaviour, I've also beaten Maria and Orphan solo!
losing sanity irl is very lovecrafty. Glad to see you back in BB!
hahaha how very bloodborne of me
Oooh, magnificent! A hunter is a hunter, even in a nightmare! That last fight was all about the flow; when you find the rhythm, Bloodborne becomes a beautiful bloody ballet. And for my money, the best dance is with Lady Maria. See you in the Research Hall!
here’s hoping all the practice with ludwig will help me with lady maria haha!
You’re gonna be so good at sekiro and elden ring after this😅
i better be 😂
Yeah the wave attack is dodgeable, but you have to be locked on to him. I think since you were thinking it was the round explosion you were locking off of him, but the right thing would be to lock on and just dodge to the sides two or three times and he always misses
yeah in the moment i thought it was a big blast all around him and now i’m kicking myself 😂
Great job. Congratulations on beating him. You've really earned it!
I don't know if others mentioned this already, but Ludwig's remains are still alive. Put on a church outfit and console him for a nice reward. Putting him out of his misery afterwards would also be appropriate, I think.
And please don't let others scare you about the remaining bosses. They are challenging, but one of them (you already met him) should be much easier for you since you did so well with the Cleric Beast (I didn't, which is why that was my 200+ attempt boss). Maria is an awesome boss which imo is just really fun to fight and well designed. Definitely not the hardest, I think. The last one is harder, but both of them can be parried pretty reliably once you get the timing, so you don't have to dance with them anymore if you don't want to ;)
Laurence has 25k health pool and orphan of Kos is really aggressive and Lady Maria will parry you if your not good at parrying her
If you go back into the room with the automatons (the metal kid-like things that don't attack you), there is an elevator that you missed on your way up to Micolash. The elevator goes down into a pitch black room. The brain of mensis is down there.
If you use the "make contact" gesture and just hold it, you'll get a new rune. It'll feel like I'm trolling you. You'll just stand there, making an L pose and feeling foolish. Then Jason will switch her stance. Wait. You will get the rune. It takes like a full minute or two. You got the contact stance at the top of upper cathedral ward. There was an immobile statue you interacted with (I'm pretty sure you did, anyway.)
Hi, I'm at this part of the game right now and found that elevator but it was so black I didn't go far and went back up. Do you have to find the brain in the darkness or just do the gesture anywhere down there? I could search for the info but don't want more spoilers than necessary! Thanks.
@rosstee you have to drop the Brain of Mensis, first. There's a lever at the top you have to pull. Once it's dropped, leave the elevator and go straight and to the right. It's not so big down there, so it's not hard to find, but only if you've dropped it first.
Google how to kill the brain of mensis if you get stuck. Also, make sure to either get gud or take a bunch of sedatives to deal with the frenzy.
@@progers20 Ok brilliant, thanks for the advice.
Make sure to talk to Ludwig's head while wearing church garb.
Edit: (Say yes).
Last message from me, I swear lol.
So we know the Nightmare is some sort of curse applied to Hunters, as per the dialogue in entering it. Its where hunters are going when they die, and from item descriptions along the game we knew thay Ludwig was the founder of Church Hunters. A true knight, he used heavy weaponry instead of fast ones to deal with the beasts and fight for Yharnam, maybe without knowing that the blood healing his church was offering was what was claiming the people and turning them. We have indication that he might have even fought on horse. Which is why its so disturbing to see what he was twisted as, maybe even fused with his own horse. His design is also VERY reminiscent of an enemy in the Berserk manga. Berserk is one of the most regarded manga in history and Myiazaki, FROMSOFT's main game director, absolutely loves to reference it all the time. This demonic horse design is, absolutely based on... well... the community calls him... R*pe Horse. Great.
Look around Ludwig's arena. There is a surprise there that is different if you are or arent using gear related to the Healing Church.
We also know, from Rom the Vacuous Spider being probably a baby used by Byrgenwerth to seal the Blood Moon, aka Paleblood ("The Byrgenwerth spider hides all manner of rituals, and keeps our lost master from us. A terrible shame. It makes my head shudder uncontrollably.") And because of the Old Workshop (the version of the Workshop in real life, in Yharnam, in that giant pit on the way to the Chapel) that to create these reality-altering things and dimensions, you need to sacrifice a newborn. Its why stuff related to it always gives a Umbilical Chord. There is one in the real Workshop, which was used to create the Hunters Dream, and Iosefka stole the one from Byrgenwerth. As per the description of one of the Caryll Runes, Old Ones are particularly fond of humans and tend to obey their asks and needs when requested, especially in exchange of newborns because "Every Old One loses its child, then yearns for a surrogate". They are a perfected species, which is why Byrgenwerth was so interested, it was interest in their evolution, but by being perfectly evolved they seem to have lost their ability to reproduce, which is a species ability to perfect its genetics. They have reached their pinnacle, and are eternally burdened with it.
Remains to be seen by you how the Church of Mensis made THEIR Nightmare to call the Blood Moon to Yharnam, which is the entire reason Master Willem even made Rom (to seal it) and NOW THIS DLC has to tell us: Who, and with what child, made the ritual to call forth the Hunter's Nightmare into being. Because if ROM is anything to go by, the baby used in the ritual turns into an Old One.
damn. loved the monster design though.
all of this is making me excited to watch some lore videos haha!!
@@HollyElsa If you have any lore questions, just shout them out in your videos. I will try to answer to the best of my abilities. This end game is especially my favorite.
I havent caught up with all your videos yet, but did you ever find Gehrman crying while sleeping and mumbling some names in the back part of the Dream? This happens before Rom and after Vicar Amelia IIRC
Congratulations Holly! The last fight was epic, you looked totally relaxed while fighting and that was the key I guess, you owe that podcast hahaha. Regarding the whole arc, it was amazing, the side quest for the blood rock in the middle, and the progression, really entertaining. Ludwig is one of those bosses that you cannot cheese, there are some workarounds, but without learning the fight he is just unforgiven, kudos!. Those bornes where definitely blooded that day.
thank you!! definitely gonna employ the strategy of listening to a podcast next time i struggle with a boss haha
I didnt even notice the switch up into the comfy haha I think thats how we all feel playing this game at times
hahaha when you gotta get comfy you gotta get comfy
also you can use the third of the unbilicords for insights as well and you will still go against the moon presant boss after Gherman
I want to shout to you through the screen into the past, Holly!!
The off-key singing brain ladies are called Winter Lanterns. You have a frenzy rune that you can equip that helps you not go into frenzy. Then you just hack away at them.
7:18 the vermin thing is fascinating, and they promote it to a whole main plot of the game in Sekiro. But now that I think about it... probably inspired by Las Plagas from RE4
how fitting considering i just started RE4 haha!
You say it was the worst week of your life, I'm sorry to hear that, but from what I see, despite all the deaths and attempts, you didn't give up! so this vid the best one u ever made and u deserve all respect.
i was just being dramatic 😂 i had a very chill time with my bloodborne and my podcast
I think it would be really helpful to farm blood gems from the Winter Lanterns (brain things on the bridge on the way to getting the blood rock). They legit drop 19% blood gems that can fit in any slot. It's pretty simple, you just have to wear all your best frenzy res gear and do charged R2 attacks with the untransformed saw cleaver. You'll stagger them before they can touch you, and just heal anytime you take frenzy damage. The gems will have a negative stat also - the best ones to aim for are negative damage to kin (you rarely fight kin) or negative stamina.
you done extremly well against Ludwig he is hard to beat, I manged to deafet him with lots of help and now I am helping other players as I have got the game to platinum after a year of playing
Honestly, this and the last boss of this DLC are still in FROMSOFTWARE's top 10 hardest bosses in my opinion. I love them
* gulps nervously *
Congratulations, it was a good fight.
I can´t wait to see the other fights. It´s going to be awesome.
Glad you found that second lamp, it makes the run back to Ludwig a lot less frustrating. I was going to mention it in the last video comments section but I watched it a while after it was uploaded and reckoned it would have already have been mention by then. Anyway, you beat him and can finally move on, that's what counts. You can actually find what's left of Ludwig, his head, near the lamp and talk to it. Finish him off and he'll drop something you can collect.🙂
oooh, will do!
@@HollyElsa You dont need to finish him off. He goes to rest by himself if you just talk to him
IMPORTANT if you want to farm infinite bloodstone chunks and upgrade all your weapons to +9 no problem, read this before exploring more, or you could miss the chance!!!
The next Lantern has two Scurrying Beasts (enemy that disappears and always drops upgrade rocks). There is a glitch in the game if you despawn enemies then kill them again you will duplicate their drops infinitely. So here is what you do: clear the way from the ludwig lantern to the next lantern (still to be seen), this includes the two enemies from Ludwig to the elevator plus the Eye-Stealing granny in the bloodriver part. Go on foot to the Next Lantern, its in a newly named area. There will be two scurrying beasts, one by a pillar, another in a pool of water. This is immediately in front of said lanters. Kill them BUT DO NOT PICK UP THE ITEMS, THIS ENDS THE GLITCH.
Now run back down the elevator and to the Ludwig Lantern. Make sure to climb down the steps completely, then run back to the Scurrying Beasts. They will have despawned when you walked back, and since you didnt pick up the items, the enemy is revived. Kill both of them again. Repeat. Ever time you do this, you will be adding their total 4 chunks by another 4. I did this for my wife for 1h so she could experiment with all weapons, especially the DLC ones. The other upgrade materials are easy to farm. Put on a podcast and try it out! There are videos on it too if you need, look up Blood Chunk dupe glitch
If you already picked them up, there are Chalice Dungeons around with drops for them, but they take a little longer
Honestly, I think level 90 to 100 is definetely fine for this DLC, especially given this is your first Fromsoft game
Congratulations on finally killing Ludwig.
One thing to take away from that fight is that what seemed to get you the mose was his big charge attack. Consistently you were running straight back. Rather than trying to time it and dodge sideways. The time you did get him, you ran off to the side and he missed.
Timing, anticipating enemy attacks, dodging, and knowing how many times you can attack an enemy before they can counter attack will be far more useful than any amount of leveling of items.
When you did get him in that final sequence, you were dancing through his attacks beautifully, well done 👏
thank you!! yeah, i only realised when watching it back that that attack only goes forward and i’m kicking myself for not just trying to dodge behind him 😂
NPC summons are, most times, useless because they increase boss health and defense. Unless they can solo them and its thematically/story related and appropriate that they do (Tarkus, maybe Solaire for the final boss in DS1, Lucatiel in DS2 and Anri in DS3) I never use them.
Great job! Going through the DLC for the first time myself. Trying to learn Laurence and Orphan's moves before before they destroy my life.
godspeed hunter 🫡
Congratulations for doing this on your own. You did amazing.
I think one of the major choke points you were having that I could notice was healing timing. You were always healing whenever you felt you needed to, when it would be best to heal in the place of one attack, exchanging the timing for getting in for timing to heal back up. Most heals you did ended up on you getting attacked more. Everything else was just roll timing really
thank you! yeah, that definitely did keep getting me on the second phase. i think i got the hang of it by the end though so maybe all the practice will help me with future bosses haha
I'm currently watching. You're on attempt 25. FYI - beast blood pellets let you do more damage, however; there is a caveat - you have a bar (top middle) that you fill up. As you are able to do more damage - the bad guys are able to do more damage to you, too. If you aren't great at dodging, bbp only really hurt you. If you want to use them, practice your dodging, first.
Also, be more aggressive. You are almost ALWAYS better off dodging IN to enemy attacks.
oh man, I really clicked on this video thinking it was about Ludwig the streamer not the bloodborne boss, but looks like good content 😄
hahahaa sorry dude
damn if you just stayed targeted on him and dodged to the side you would have completed avoided the beam of death every time lol
hindsight is 20/20 lololol
Wirlgig saw weapon is the best weapon to use in the fight with Ludwig cause it can cause stagger damage to him
Omg I just realized, in the bloodstone chunck glitch/exploit please watch a video, I said you needed to go from Ludwig's Lantern to the next/new lantern, but I meant the LANTERN YOU USED TO GO FIGHT LUDWIG. Easier to just watch a video on it to be sure
i also did not realize that i simply had to just dodge behind his huge insta kill slam till after i beat him 😭 i only beat him cause for some reason he never did that attack on my last run
bloodborne One of the best games I've ever played
That Ludwig Boss is crazy! I could totally feel the tension in that Fight, & there’s harder Bosses than this! Lol, that’s a achievement worth celebrating! 🤗
let’s hope the amount of time i spent on ludwig will prepare me for the harder bosses haha 😂
Hello Holly
I've been missing you but have been watching some of
your past videos and glad to see this new one playing
Bloodborne and I hear mentioning that you have ADHD
I have that as well but back when I was in school I often
thought it was just boredom until they said I had ADHD
but sorry for rambling have a great game I'm watching
and enjoying have a great week friend 😊
🤍🖤🤎💜💚💛🧡💙❤️
glad you’re enjoying! have a great week too :)
@@HollyElsa You are Very Welcome Thank You Friend 😊🌻❤️
Can't wait for you to fight Malenia
First video in the series: Hi guys I'm going to try my first Fromsoft game i'll probably give up after one video because I'm not going to be good at it be nice k :)
This video: (raw gamer scream) OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
oh how far we’ve come
Hello Elsa! Man these play throughs of Bloodborne are off the hook! are you excited for the new Resident Evil 4 remake? Have a good one!
hellooo!! yes i’m so excited to continue with it, loving it so far!
@@HollyElsa hi 👋 Elsa! Sweet! I can’t wait to check it out myself! It looks badass!
Congrats on beating Ludwig after a long time. Also, no wonder why you were having a hard time, you’re not doing any damage, by this point on the game with gems and leveling up you should be doing around 500 damage and your saw cleaver was not even 300 at the start, also don’t be afraid to level up, the normal is to beat the game around level 100, maybe a bit more. Don’t be afraid of orphan of kos that boss is a one try boss if you take it easy, lady Maria is bit trashy ngl, but overall the main tip I’m gonna give you, upgrade your gems, there’s like 3 gems that gives you 15% plus damage and Ludwig’s holy blade staggers the enemy with each hit
thank you! i have been switching out my gems frequently but maybe i’ll do it again at the start of next episode and try levelling up some more :)
Hello.
Bell is not a bad item imo.
Thanks very much for the episode.
thanks for watching!! maybe i’ll try upgrading my arcane at some point to try the bell
On future lets plays of FROM games, be sure to avoid spoilers, you said you already knew about two areas and bosses, so idk if you have already seen them, but watch put in the future. We enjoy your surprise that much more.
unfortunately i found out before i even started playing, but i only know the names of the bosses and that they’re supposed to be difficult, nothing else :)
Go back and talk to Ludwig's head. Wear black or white church garb when you do it.
my fav boss OAT!!!!!!
I cannot believe you stuck with it for that long. Congrats. Ludwig is the most shit boss in the game, and this advice is 9 months late, but if you ever do a replay there is a second summon in the area you can use against him so it's 3 against 1. The second summon is behind one of the big guys when you run from the lamp to the fight.
Hi, Elsa🙂
YOU FUCKING DID IT!!!!!
Yeah, he was, by far, the easiest boss in the DLC. But you did it!!
For Maria and the Orphan, you need to learn to dodge. Like you think you know, and, no offense to you, but like next level dodging.
i am ready to commit another week of my life to struggling on the next boss haha
