What's going on Initiate, Bird here and in this video we are going over one of the my favorite Healing Church members in all of Bloodborne, Ludwig!

Ludwig was the first of many Healing Church hunters to come, many of whom were clerics. As it was, clerics transformed into the most hideous beasts.

Under Ludwig's leadership, the Healing Church gained its own core of hunters. Ludwig trained his hunters to be honorable Spartans, and even trained ordinary Yharnamites, effectively uniting the populace and using it to combat the scourge.

Ludwig wielded a mystical greatsword that he himself discovered, allowing him to channel the abyssal cosmos. He looked to the sword and the tiny beings of light that surrounded it for guidance, allowing him to empty his fears, even in the middle of a hunt. It is implied the sword is itself sentient to some degree, which influenced Ludwig greatly.

Despite seemingly being respected Ludwig had his detractors, who appear to have disagreed with his methods and did not appreciate his hunters. These detractors dismissed Ludwig as a beast-possessed degenerate and he suffered much denigration at their hands.

At some point, Ludwig succumbed to the bloodlust and mutated into a horrifying beast, a terrible cross between horse, wolf and man. He was trapped in the Hunter's Nightmare, and completely lost himself to the blood. He resided in the Underground Corpse Pile where, by killing countless beasts and hunters in his blind rage, created the blood river which flows through the Nightmare.

The Bloodborne lore is rich so I hope find this interesting and learn something new about the Elden Ring world! AD Victoriam🖤

You just know Gehrman despised Ludwig, who was seen as the hero of hunters after Gehrman's hunters were shutdown

[lukalamorakboye]

Ah, you were at my side, all along. My true mentor, my guiding moinlight.

[thegreenmage]

Weapon of choice?
I think it’s more likely Ludwig would say the sword chose him…

[mrloadinggame]

Oh! You were at my side all along, my true mentor, my guiding moonlight. This always hypes me more than it should.

[Darkness-ywxr]

I'd disagree

I found more logical that due to the moonlight greatsword making him loss the fear for the hunt he became disrespectful to the beasts and thus becoming a beast himself via punishment from the amygdalas, as they also punished the good hunter when we grab the eye

He was never bloodlusted, he was just an unlucky man because he found the cursed moonlight.

This also explains why in the middle of the fight he regains consciousness, because he feared for his life and thus, recovering his humanity, as Eileen said "without fear we are no more but beasts", then the moonlight shine again to comfort Ludwig once again and fought us like the great hunter he always has been

eyy nice analysis on ludwig, i was really intrigued by his boss fight

[vengefulblade]

Yooo that Ludwig transformation art is siiick 💯🔥

[ghostparty]

The pictures where he's only part way transformed look so cool 😮

[melhorjogoébloodborne]

I wonder what lore would you be able to find about Vicar Amelia

[T-Bone]

I just started my play through and I am having trouble understanding the lore as a base. Freaking love the game but want the most out of my play through. I’ve went through the first town and I am in the forest so far! Anyone got any pointers I need to know for base knowledge as I hack and slash my way through this mug?

[jacobbreakerofsky]

Does someone have a source for the art at 0:34?
I would love to get the full image without the youtube shorts stuff

Ludwig founded the healing Church. He was a fellow scholar at Bergynworth. It's not clerics, but vicars who turn into the most hideous of beats. Vicar Amelia, and Laurence for example. I always assumed that he integrated Ghermans hunters into the healing church, not him making his own and training them. I'm not sure Ludwigs holy blade actually channeled the "abysmal cosmos". And i definitely didn't believe it had a mind of it's own. As far as distractors, do you mean willem and mico? This is why i love BB so much. So many different ways to interpret the story, none of them wholly correct, but really none of them wrong.

It bothers me every time I hear someone say "yar-min-ite". Its Yharnamite. Yhar-nam-ite! 😅

[slxgchrxst.]

you keep saying Yarmanites and not yarnimites 😢
