His first phase was rinsing me, but once I got past that wall and saw him transform I thought "oh thank god" lol. Big dude with a sword is just way more readable than a 2 headed 100 limbed abomination. Awesome fight.

I like to stompe his ugly head like that dude like godrick style

This is still the best boss fight FromSoft has ever made

The most accursed thing about this boss is the run back to his arena

Ludwig has a fetish for glowing greatswords. I dont judge

When he jumps in the air and hangs to the ceiling, wait for his initial loud roar to finish. Just before he plunges down, he will let out a quiet roar. If you dodge literally as soon as you hear it, you will dodge this attack perfectly.

**** with glowing sword is tough

So I'm a mad lad and have decided to fight ludwig at plus 3, my intention is to make a strength arcane, moonlight blade, and wwhurli gig saw, my plan is to kill Amelia at plus 0 gain acsses to the dlc, and get the whirli gig saw, then go back to old yharnum kill bsb and run the chalices until I can access the cummmfpk chalice and grind as much lvls as possible, plus 3 or 6 my weapon and face ludwig. My questions are will the whirli gig build beast blood quick, and is this manageable?

After 5 hours, I finally beat this boss. Level 71 (idk but I felt under leveled) by far the hardest boss ive done in a Soulsborne game

Kudos to whoever edited the name of his moonlight blast attack to "Blasting Zone", one of Squall's limit break finishers in FFVIII.
