10 Hardest Soulsborne Bosses - Ranked
3. Ludwig The Accursed (Bloodborne)
This is a boss that requires so much concentration because Ludwig is super lethal if players don't watch his attacks. It is nearly impossible to get hits in during the first phase as he bounces around the arena.
He loves to stomp on the player as well and as soon as they begin to attack, he runs off to another side of the arena. He will also sometimes jump in the air for a few seconds before landing right on top of the player. His second phase introduces his Holy Blade and he sure does love to use it. Ludwig doesn't move around as much but he compensates for that by attacking a lot more. Also, his AOE in this phase can almost one-hit players who have large amounts of health.
To beat him I personally recommend using the Whirligig Saw in this fight because it is super useful in the second phase of the fight. Just run up to him after he stomps around and try to keep sawing at him with the L2 attack as it will decimate his health bar. Once the second phase comes around do the exact same thing and you will easily triumph.
