00:00 - Many more deaths
14:19 - Ludwig is defeated

After 15 deaths today and 20 deaths two days ago. The method to beat Ludwig was stamina recovery and aggression, aggression, aggression. The whole time it was about staying on him and stamina recovery rate. It was less about dodging and more about faster stamina recovery and hit him multiple times to crit him. You need faster stamina recovery or a greater amount of stamina to do more blows. With enough stamina or stamina recovery and one maxed out weapon, or powerful gem that makes your weapon physical strength 320 or higher, you can hit him a lot to get that crit.

Note: His critical bar is invisible. You can't see it as you are hitting him but it is rising. If you hit him enough times that bar will reach max level and he will become staggered by the crit damage. That crit bar also drops when you don't hit him. Whenever he's staggered keep hitting him more to keep the crit bar up.

First phase = The important thing is to stay on him in the first phase don't let him move away from you stay at his side. Dodge to the side or away when he does a stomp to get you away from him, but stay near him at all times and keep swing when you have half stamina or full stamina. Don't let him use his long arm reach to do combos, powerful swings, and his charging bull attacks.

Second phase = Stay behind him at all times, or do enough frontal swings to damage him for a stun effect. The moment he does a two hit or three hit combos, stay behind him, your life depends on it. Those will typically kill you or lower your health to 15%. For just one hit make sure to dodge it and hit him multiple times. HIS COMBOS MEAN YOU STAY BEHIND HIM ALWAYS . A SINGLE ATTACK IS YOUR WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO GO IN AND DO LOTS OF DAMAGE. You may get hit once but keep swinging at him to return health back to you (Bloodborne has a mechanic where you get back some health damage done to you when you hit the enemy one to two, or one to three times in a row).

Very important = He powers up which does an explosive 360 degree arcane blast. Right as he's going to do this run in for one or two hit and run away after. Once the AOE blast is done, immediately run behind him or you'll be dead. He does his signature arcane power wave from the sword, or he does 4 hit combos. If he raises the sword in the air, its the power wave coming at you. Be behind or at a full 180 of the attack. The effect is not only frontal, it's a 140 to 150 degree frontal attack. It's a one hit kill move. Being near the border means you might live because the damage decreases in expansion. You'll still get hit but you won't die. So when he holds his sword to power up, be behind him.

Very important 2: "NEVER" increase your stat of strength, arcane, bloodtinge, or endurance past 20. Unless the handling of the weapon requires a stat to be past 20, never increase. Increase the health past 20 and always max out one weapon before fighting Ludwig or attain a gem that increases your weapon's physical attack past 320 or 330. Increasing any stat past 20 increases your level. The higher your character level the harder your boss will be. A harder hitting boss means many more deaths than usual.

Very important 3: Ludwig jump to the ceiling and does a downward blunt attack, smashing you for a one shot kill. To avoid this ONLY DODGE AS YOU HEAR THE SCREAM FROM THE CEILING, NOT THE SCREAM WHEN HE JUMPS TO THE CEILING.

Vert important 4: Lastly, also in his first form, he will charge at you like a bull. Avoid this by making him complete the scream and then dodge. Never dodge during the scream or before it. You won't survive the charge if your health is not at max (this does not count for players with a larger health bar), or you'll survive it with a very small health bar.
