Ludwig, the Accursed / Holy Blade – Bloodborne (DLC)
Another perturbing cutscene introduces you to the horror that is Ludwig, the Accursed. A rotting man that’s somehow part horse, part wolf, and mostly corpse, Ludwig is clearly in a lotta pain, as evidenced by his guttural shrieks during the fight. He’s quick, thanks to his, like, six legs, and is aggressive as all hell, spewing blood and saliva to inflict massive amounts of damage while cornering you in the church you battle him in. And once you deplete half his health, he picks up the Holy Moonlight Sword and becomes Ludwig, the Holy Blade, kicking off the second phase of his fight. This is maybe the most unsettling section of the entire encounter, as he stands on his bloodied and deformed hind legs to cut you up. There’s nothing holy about this dude.
