THAT FUNNY HORSE JUST PICKED UP A SWORD!

[carlosadriangonzalezguzman]

A reactor who actually provides something to his reactions. don't apologize for "over" explaining. That just makes the content better.

[BlastastiC]

"Maybe I'll start with some Bloodborne"

So you have chosen death.

[V.F.D.DaleSalvador]

Dark Souls and Bloodborne (same people) have some phenomenal orchestration. Such MASSIVE sound.

[rolithesecond]

Bloodbourne and other games by From Software are considered hard games. Just be aware failing is part of the experience, if you were to try these.

[BrokenToews]

Ahhh, we finally made it to Bloodborne! Technically this is the second half of a boss theme, with the first half being Ludwig the Accursed; they're meant to be a duo as thematically the boss evolves in the second stage. I mentioned it on another video, but would highly recommend Cleric Beast and Hail the Nightmare, though every track is fantastic. There's also an extremely impressive live performance of an arrangement of songs done by the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra!

[plebaroni]

in the first phase ludwig acts like a mindless beast using only his jaws and other parts of his body to attack you while howling and screaming at you. when he gets to half health, a cutscene plays where he falls over and the sword on his back falls in front of him. he grabs the blade and stands up straight, and attacks like a knight in the second phase, as if he's regained his humanity. this theme reflects the change.

[Malisteen]

this track follows directly on from 'ludwig the accursed', reflecting the enemy's changing mental over the course of the battle with the player character. it's worth listening to both tracks back to back when you have a chance to get the full effect.

[NekoEnforcer]

Nothing beats the tension when you have no blood vials and you are both on low health and this song is blaring in the background

[LudwigsUnholySpade]

This piece is actually the second part of one boss fight, with ‘Ludwig the Accursed’ being the first half and running straight into this one.

I don’t think there’s a single bad track on Bloodborne’s OST, definitely worth looking further into. It’s always great to hear your insight.

[Cheto]

You mentioned something about the fade out at the end. Something I recommend you to consider is that game music is different than normal music. The composers have to make it in a way that it can loop because the actions of the player make the music change, so they are basically loops that can consistently change. After they finish that some mixers make the OST version so that it can be like a normal song. Some put more effort into it than others.

[andrzejgorecki]

I didn't play the game but for me this one is such an incredible piece of music. It feels like a dance, that you really don't want to be a part of, but on the other hand you are somehow pulled toward it.

[SgtWicket]

The boss who belongs to this music is sort of a paladin styled warrior who founded a church but has since become completely malformed and bestial. In the second phase of this fight he seems to remember a bit of his humanity and fights you with his sword like a man rather than a beast. I feel like the music really captures his creepiness, tragedy, and fallen greatness.

[guitarmanatee]

I wish he did both tracks. The transition to this track blew my mind and still gives chills.

[NiAnOfficial]

Bloodborne is definitely one of the best games of FromSoftware and man, Ludwig is totally one of the most awesome bosses of all games, the lore, the concepts, the visuals, the music... give me goosebumps just to remember

[V.F.D.DaleSalvador]

If you ever do a slow burn of Dark Souls Music, you should include Gwen Lord Of Cinder from DS 1 and Soul Of Cinder from DS 3 as they have musical call backs to eachother. Plus, Lord Of Cinder is such a melancholic piano track. Just piano, and it's beautiful.

[water_ripple]

I would love it if you did another reaction with both ‘Ludwig the Accursed' and 'Ludwig, the Holy Blade' soundtracks together; its a most developed piece that way imo

[gylfie]

If I had to guess, the reason they use that waltz-like timing in the track is because it's set to the tune of the player fighting a monstrosity. The player is performing a death waltz with Ludwig, the aforementioned monstrosity and namesake of the track. Thank you for your take on this piece. I hope to see your reaction on other pieces like Nameless Song from Dark Souls 1 or Moon's Tear from Theophany's Majora's Mask remix album. See you next time.

[nahuel]

Hearing this preformed live is like one of my bucket list desires. Sadly I'm not sure if anyone is actually performing.

But I know that this choir live would blow my mind

[zaylinth]

I love how he swayed with the music but you can see that he was disturbed and uncomfortable, just vibing with the music. Truly the power of the Old Hunters creeping over him lol
