Everybody gangsta till the horse starts talking to a glowstick

Phase 2 is that moment when the cockroach remembers it can fly and that you are more afraid of it than it is of you.

"Ah, comically small horse. You were at my side all along" - Starscourge Radahn; demigod, archer, amateur meteorite

Dosen't die once on Ludwig. Dies 50 times on the living failures.

“Ah, comically large spoon. You were at my side all along”

Find a woman who looks at you the way Ludwig looks at his sword

It's a crime that this isn't on Spotify

Bro was not horsing around in the second phase

1st phase: Oh shit. 2nd phase: OH SHIT!!

0:01 ludwig the accursed 3:42 ludwig the holy blade

The adrenaline rush. Mid fight you realize you weren't fighting Ludiwg, you were actually dancing with him.

4:49 i can't stop replaying this part

I adore the subtle touch that in his second form, he no longer counts as a Beast, and weapons that do extra damage to Beasts don't affect him in the same way.

The first mandatory boss of the DLC mirrors the first mandatory boss of the base game. While Gascoigne goes from man to beast, Ludwig goes from beast to man.

man had a redemption arc in under 30 seconds. Absolute unit

I love Elden Ring. I love Dark Souls. I love Sekiro. But no other Fromsoft game can hold a candle to Bloodborne when it comes to music.

The fact that this incredible OST did not even get nominated for best video game soundtrack of 2015 is a sin of the highest order

I would pay a large amount of money to hear this played live by a full orchestra.

During my encounter with Ludwig his sword attacks synced with choir singing and so I was in tune with everything going on I felt as if I was dancing with him, not just fighting. Needless to say that’s my favorite boss encounter in all soulsborne games so far

3:42 THIS is how real horror feels like. Just a music that tells You something TERRIBLE is coming after You right now. This has to be the best song FromSoftware has ever created.

Bloodborne's didn't even get nominated to best score/soundtrack in game awards let that sink in.

I love how in the first part, when Ludwig is a mindless eldritch monster, the music is dark and sinister, reflecting his state of being. When Ludwig stands upright and fights as a swordsman instead of a beast, the music shifts to become triumphant and heroic, as if to say that even if Ludwig dies, he can at least die with a bit of humanity left.

I honestly don't think Ludwig the Accursed's theme gets enough love. The dissonance and chaos of the theme shows how far into beasthood he's gone, and it makes his second phase all the more impactful. It shows the bond Ludwig has with the Blade, and how even with how far gone he is, it still has the strength to lift him from the darkness. edit: I am talking about the first phase boss theme, gawd damn.

Killing him honourably with the visceral attack after granting him one last duel is one of the best feeling ever

I can't express in words how bad I feel for deaf people

Everybody gangsta until the Moonlight Greatsword comes out

*Virgin Father Gascoigne:* -goes to beast from man -uses a lame weapon you get at the start -is a sociopath -killed his wife _VS_ *Chad Ludwig:* -regains his sanity to fight you -has his guiding moonlight -killed everyone inside the area you fight him -is insane at first, but clings to his humanity like a legend

I can't wait for Shadow of The Erdtree just so we can get another absolute banger like this.

Phase 1: Cockroach enters my room and i howl and scream like a madman. Phase 2: I look at my drawer. "Ah, Axe body spray and lighter, you were by my side the whole time.:

I saw the sword on his back in the intro. I was like: "he isn't gonna use that is he? Right?" *im not even mad*

Ludwig is probably the most well designed boss fight I've ever seen in a video game. Not a big gamer anymore, but Bloodborne has me blood drunk still and Ludwig is the pinnacle of it. He has the lore that you keep seeing and read about over and over again wondering if you'll actually see him until you do for the first time. He has in my opinion the most unique visual design of any boss in the game. He has this music that fits more perfectly into the fight than with any other boss in any game that I can think of. He's difficult without being overly difficult and is so fun and intense. Best boss Fromsoft has put out to this day.

It has been 7 years since we danced with Ludwig and his Holy Blade. Time flies, fellow good hunters. Time flies.

I really wish we have soundtracks like this one in Elden Ring

this soundtrack was not even nominated for best score 2015, what the actual fucking fuck?

Tbh, one of the reason why i love this OST so much, along with Gherman, the First Hunter is that, usually whenever i'm fighting a boss. At times i can't feel the soundtrack due to the adrenaline and intensity of the occuring boss fight. But this? I just felt hype and intensity man. Such an unforgettable moment.

My dear friend, As I write this letter, I am struggling to hold onto my humanity. The blood of the beasts courses through my veins and I can feel the transformation taking hold of me. I fear that soon I will lose myself completely to the darkness. But even as I succumb to this curse, I wanted to write to you one last time, to express my deepest apologies for the pain and suffering I have caused. I never meant for things to end this way, but I fear that it is too late to turn back now. I remember when I first picked up the Holy Blade, filled with the conviction that it was my destiny to rid the world of the plague of beasts. But as I swung the blade, cutting down one beast after another, I began to realize that the line between man and monster was not as clear as I had thought. And in the end, it was I who became the very thing I had sworn to destroy. I am so sorry for the harm I have caused, and for the shame that I have brought upon our order. But even now, as the beast within me grows stronger, I hold onto the hope that somehow, someway, my actions can be redeemed. So I beg of you, do not give up on me just yet. I know that I am beyond saving, but if there is even the slightest chance that I can be of use in the fight against the darkness that plagues this world, then I beg you to let me serve. Farewell, my friend. May the Good Blood guide you always. Your friend, Ludwig, the Holy Blade

Lady maria was a distraction from the prize,Ludwig is the true bloodborne best girl.

me: finally kills ludwig the accursed Chorus: 𝗶’𝗺 𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲

Quite literally the only context I have of Bloodborne, is this song, and someone pointed out to me that if you switch around the last 3 letters you get Bloodboner.

I got to his phase 2 with the volume on my TV a tad higher than it usually is. Completely worth it

Ludwig's design is so incredible. He looks like this absolutely horrid monster that looks like a horse and a man in halfway finished with being painfully fused together, which makes him bewildering in the first half and sickening overall. But when the second half of the fight starts and he regains even some of his sense and takes up the Moonlight Greatsword, the way he stands upright makes him look vaguely like a gallant swordsman riding a horse. Still putrid looking, and nothing's changed but the posture and him talking; but that small change allows you to see even just a small glimpse of how majestic he must have been in life as a human.

i didn't even hear half of the song due to the constant "AGHHHHHHHHH" "EEEEEEYAAAAHHHHHH"

Ive been with Xbox for close to 15 years, mainly because that's where all my close friends are but a few weeks back I bought a PS5 aswell, because I wanted to play a few games on it, including ofc Bloodborne since Souls games is one of my favorite game series. I went into this game legit not knowing anything, I genuinely knew nothing about the game. Finished it just 2 days ago and what a masterpiece it is. Now earlier tonight I started the DLC and its safe to say the goosebumps I got from the 4:49 bit made me lose focus and die, fine by me though since that's just another go at fighting this amazing boss and hearing the beautiful soundtrack. No idea if anyone is gonna see this or even read it for that matter, but lets all continue supporting FromSoft and their incredible talent at making games.

what the fuck they got going on in london

Ludwig was easy on NG+7 it just took 117 tries

I auditioned to be in the choir. Unfortunately, I was feeling a little horse.

Ludwig is the pinnacle of Souls games. A man who has been to his lowest point and literally has no hope of returneing to his most glorious days. A man that is no longer a man. But when he must fight for his life, he remembers what he can do, who he really is. And then he lifts his sword...

4:12 Ludwig’s transition gives me straight goosebumps.

4:49 Ludwig didn't kill me, i died from eargasm.

An unsightly beast... A great terror looms! Ahh... Ludwig the Accursed is coming. Have mercy... Have mercy upon us...

As a musician of four instruments and a composer, I must say... This is GENIUS. It's something extraordinary that we have been gifted with. Truly magnificent!

Wanna get someone into Bloodborne? Show them this fight.

*eats congealed blood *applies fire to pizza cutter *revs it up we havin horse ham for dinner boys

I made this my ringtone, but now (because of the PTSD) every time someone calls me I panic roll away from the imaginary Moonlight attacks.

He protec He attac But most importantly He get his humanity bacc

Most normal night in Birmingham

4:49 Maximum volume isn't enough for this part, I need my fucking ears to start BLEEDING because of how good it is.

4:49 I think this moment cemented Bloodborne's soundtrack as being one of my favorite soundtracks of all time.

The fact that is composed with notes deemed ugly, tense and difficult to base on and still be as Beautiful as it is is astonishing. This ost also has the essence of Ludwig and the flow of the battle down to the letter.

Best boss design, best boss lore, best fight, best sountrack. Best BB boss imo.

When Gascgoine says the blood sings to him, this is what I imagine it sounds like.

I think it’s illegal to fight against Ludwig without listening to this.

the moonlight greatsword has always been my mine weapon from dark souls 1-3, elden ring and even demon souls and i went into bloodborne blind when i saw the sword i was shocked and i knew i needed to claim what is mine if i remember right i said to him 'that sword belongs to me'

This is the greatest bossfight in video game history, a perfect 180 in the second phase, perfectly represents the lore, is fun, and the perfect cutscene in the middle. This is peak entertainment.

OH MY GOD, THE SECOND PART HITS WITH SUCH EUPHORIA... YOU COULD CALL IT THE THRILL OF THE HUNT

Her:I like mentally stable man. Me:I finished old hunters on ng+7 in 24 hours

i would pay good money for a live orchestra + choir performance of this song

Ludwig, the Holy Blade is -probably- definitely the best music from any game ever. Its perfect in every way possibly imaginable.

You've heard stories of Ludwig, The Hunter of the Church. He was a hero, a legend echoed across the tales of every generation of Hunters. When you meet what remains of him, he is nothing but a beast, a monster like any other to be put down. The monster is savage, ruthless, brutal, and merciless. It gnashes and claws towards you, its bloodlust driving itself to kill you. Finally, the monster falls. It lies still in the pool of blood in its chamber. A faint, green glow in the shape of a sword then emanates beside the fallen beast in the darkness. It looks upon the blade. And then it speaks. "Ah, you were at my side, all along." It picks up the sword, observing its cosmic splendor. "My true mentor...my guiding moonlight..." And it stands upright, looking down at you. You are not facing a beast anymore. You now face Ludwig.

"Tonight... Gehrman hits the blunt..."

7 years have passed, and this soundtrack is still the best in the history of from software games

The moment the swings from the Moonlight great sword synced up with the soundtrack choir was probably one of the most badass experience in gaming I've ever had

Doctor: "I'd say you're bound to live a long and healthy life at this rate." Me: Turns this on anyways.

I searched for "horse guy bloodborne ost" because I forgot his name and I'm glad to see that youtube and I are equal terms

The fact that every single console seller exclusive eventually getting a PC port and Bloodborne having to sit in the shadows is beyond inexcusable.

holy fuck i am alive right now

That feel when you tried so hard to kill a cockroach in your house, and then you finally managed to hit it with the cockroach spray. You thought it died, but then it raises up with its wings.

Bloodborne seriously has one of the most gorgeous soundtracks I’ve ever heard. Like an eargasm.

BEST From software game

Ludwig got me into bloodborne. This is my favorite fight ever. I don’t even think I can classify this as a “fight” since it’s something greater and much honorable. The lore, the soundtrack, the philosophy. This one specifically is FromSoftware’s masterpiece. Praise you Ludwig, my lord. Your suffering was not for nothing

Imma say it. If the first phase didn't exist, the second phase wouldn't be as impactful

I like the part from 0:00 to 6:55

Best soundtrack of all soul's games

It's been years but I still get goosebumps when I randomly hear this

This is the wrong version. After 20 seconds, there's supposed to be a REALLY loud screeching noise, and then the music cuts out.

_The moonlit part was actually way easier than the crazy horse clusterfuck_ *Change my damn mind*

I legit comeback to this at least once a month. Idk… this songs just gets to me lol. “You were at my side all along…. My true mentor. My guiding moonlight!” - Ludwig, The Holy Blade

Playing Elden Ring but still listening to this banger!

Good Hunter of the Church, Have you seen the light? Are my Church Hunters the honorable spartans I hoped they would be?

Watch an analysis of this, this song has a lot of depth. Near the end, it goes higher to be more heroic, but also switches to strings. It has falling and rising tones with cymbal crashes, suggesting madness even though ludwig had this big revelation that he was still a hunter. apparently, the beats resemble a waltz, meaning that this song is not only about ludwig standing up into humanity, but also about his dance with madness.

Damn, this has to be FromSoft's magnus opus in terms of OST. Nothing even feels close even in Elden Ring.

"Ah... You were at my side all along. My true mentor... My guiding moonlight..."

I still can’t believe Bloodborne didn’t win game of the year for the best soundtrack. Downright disrespectful.

04:18 When the scary horse and the glowing sword become friends again

Yuka kitamura is leaving fromsoft and it will never be the same! She's legendary and this ost is proof

I died a lot to this boss, not because im bad or he is hard asf, but i always has immense goosebumps when his second phase startet. And startet headbanging...

I would die for a live performance of this theme . So majestic!

4:18 E-P-I-C

4:23 this is fucking beautiful

The composer who did these songs for the game was also the same composer in the Madagascar Disney movie
