You can see Ludwig winding up during this lunge attack. Lunging Dash Attack– Ludwig usually does this when you’re far away in front of him.

Listen to his scream if the scream is about to come to a halt, hit the quickstep button to dodge the body slam successfully.You can either time your quickstep with this or start sprinting after the second set of the blood drop. There should be two sets of blood drops, one the second set of blood drops there’s half a second window before he performs the slam. Observe the blood dropping from the ceiling.Count to four and a half when he jumps onto the ceiling and then quickstep to any direction.There are a few ways to dodge this attack: Take heed as this attack can one-shot you if you’re under-leveled or don’t have a good armor set. The Jumping Attack– A signature attack where Ludwig will jump onto the ceiling, stay there for a few seconds, and perform a body slam to your current position. Backstep during his bites, then quickstep into him to avoid the lunge. Just be careful with this attack since this is tricky to dodge. Two-Bite Lunge Combo– Ludwig begins snapping his jaws twice and then lunges forward. If Ludwig decides to go for a second horizontal slash, quick step into the left side, going through his legs, remove the lock-on and punish accordingly. The best way to punish this attack is backstepping during the diagonal slash and staying back during his first horizontal slash. Ludwig will perform a diagonal slash (left to right player’s side), then horizontal slashes (right to the left), and sometimes combos another horizontal slash (left to right). It is quick and has a small wind-up, so you better be prepared to punish this by dodging into his body, or a safe way of avoiding this is by backstepping.ĭiagonal Slash to Horizontal Slashes– Ludwig winds his right hand for a diagonal slash then slashes the ground horizontally. Horizontal Strike– Ludwig usually does this as a follow-up attack after the horizontal slash. The easiest way to avoid this is by staying back however, you can dodge towards the left through his hand if you know how I-frames (invincibility frames) work. Horizontal Slash-A horizontal slash that spans from your left to your right side. This move can be dodged by either quickstepping towards him or backstep away from him.

Jumping Hand Slam– When you enter Ludwig’s boss room, this is the first attack he usually does. Again, I highly recommend staying in front of him to lessen the variety of attacks you’ll have to deal with through this first phase. This moveset will only feature moves that Ludwig would most likely perform when he is in front of you. Since Ludwig is aggressive, keep him in front of you, and never back yourself up against the wall! Ludwig’s Moveset First Phase (Without Holy Blade) We recommend going for the threaded cane as it can help deal more damage with his first phase, and its long-range can help Ludwig in check. Ludwig is one of the Old Hunter’s DLC bosses.īottom Line Upfront: Ludwig has the combined moves of the most demanding bosses in the Chalice Dungeon however, he is a bit easier.
