Ludwig the Holy Blade is a boss from Bloodborne: The Old Hunters, the 2015 FromSoftware expansion. Near the end of his fight, the maddened beast-man briefly regains his humanity upon seeing his Holy Moonlight Sword and speaks the line about his guiding moonlight being at his side all along. Clips of the moment spread through Soulsborne lore channels and boss compilation videos, where fans latched onto its tragic tone. It endures because it condenses Ludwig's entire fall and redemption into a few seconds.
