Skill issue

What is the point ?

Different Op still awnsering questions: The fishing hamlet and the Clinic he hides and blocks qcess to should give a hint. Otherwise watch vivati. And unlike Maria, ludwig never repented or stopped hunting

No, don't listen to Vaati or any other YouTube guy trying to explain a very simple story in a convoluted manner. Listen instead to the other hunter from Ludwig's times: Simon, who condemns the Healing Church's crimes, yet still holds Ludwig in highest regard:

"Oh, he's well and truly gone, now.
A tragic figure. But he will shame himself no longer.
He died with his ideals untarnished.
He was a true hero, and earnt that much, at least.
Here, this is Ludwig's guiding Light.
The blinding thread, that lead, and mislead, that consummate hero.
The poor brute."

I'm just going to stand up for my man Vaati here. His lore videos have enhanced my whole Soulsborne-ring experience significantly. I would have missed so much if left to figure it all out on my own.

I don't know if you are aware that mario games sucks and nintendo is one of the worst companies in the whole wide world

Ahh, you were at my side all along
