[@stevencleere4912]

The gehrman music is probably the most appropriate piece ever composed for a scene in a game. An old, trapped man, trying desperately to save you from his fate by killing you, freeing you from the endless dream, as you try to do the same to him. Best part? Song doesn't resolve. It hangs on an unresolved cadence.

[@geraldthegoose1685]

Gherman, Laurence and Ludwig each have latin lyrics that gives you more insight on who these characters are For gherman his theme is basically trying to tell you that hes saving you from the dream and that he alone will bare the burden of sustaining the dream For Laurence his theme talks about the use of the holy blood (sanguine sanctum) in that hes talking about how this "nectar" is blasphemy and is trying to warn those to stay away from the holy blood. Ludwig the accursed theme sounds like people are mocking him for what he has become saying that he is a hunter of the church with his sword stained of blood Ludwig the holy blade theme is the complete opposite in that instead of mocking Ludwig its more like they are singing his praise with them saying that he is the hunter of god with his white sword he never lost his way nor became drunk with blood and that ludwig has truly become the sword of the holy god

[@kaistephens2694]

Maria's theme talks about how she was tricked, asked to do horrid things, to kill and die for the old hunters. An act of violence and roving blasphemers. Her phase two turns to the present moment, she is now protecting those terrible secrets from you, for your curiosity has surely made you ignorant if you chose to come here.

"Ah, you were at my side all along! My true mentor... my guiding moonlight." Ludwig the Holy Blade is From's best piece of music, hard stop. Even in a vacuum, nothing they've made before or after is as good, but this is doubly reinforced by the fight against him. What was once a great man has been reduced to not merely a beast, but the most beastial creature of all, no longer even remotely human... until he grasps the hilt of his sword once again, stands up straight, and turns what was a desperate brawl in a pool of filth into a deadly duel between warriors. Crescent waves and erupting fountains of moonlight are thrown at you constantly as the choir sings about the nobility of Ludwig, a man so great he shared a title with his weapon: the Holy Blade.

As much as I love the Ludwig ost, imo, slave knight Gael’s ost is just one up this one. But Gael would not be around if it weren’t for Ludwig as I see inspiration from Ludwig in Gael.

[@greenhydra10]

So, a bit of context from the resident lore nut. Gehrman: The First Hunter. Being the first, he instructed other Old Hunters of the beasts that plagued Yharnam. He also partook in the "study" of the transformed inhabitants of a fishing hamlet, and the burning of Old Yharnam. Despite his services, his hunter's workshop was ultimately replaced by the Healing Church. As the years went by, his friends left or died, and he eventually found himself wracked with guilt, and completely alone save for a doll modeled after a student he was especially fond of, Lady Maria, to keep him company. So, he made a deal with one of the Great Ones: It would bring his Doll companion to life, and he would watch over the Great One's dream realm, the Hunter's Dream. He cannot leave his post unless another takes it upon themselves by force, a fate he will not allow another to suffer. Laurence: Founder of the Healing Church. Partaking in the healing blood, he became the first cleric beast. Giant like no other cleric beast, he is now perpetually wrapped in flame, which any good Hunter will tell you beasts hate and fear. Lady Maria: One of Gehrman's students. When the guilt of what they had done became too much, she cast aside her beloved weapon, and presumably un-alived herself. She now resides within the Hunter's Nightmare, a monument to her own sins in the most literal sense possible, along with Laurence and Ludwig. Ludwig: First Hunter of the Church's workshop, and a cleric of the Healing Church. Used the healing blood both for religion and to survive the Hunt. Such liberal use created the most horrifying beast of all, turning into a horse-like horror instead of the usual wolf. Now, the only thing that could return his humanity is his guiding moonlight...

sadly ost with sfx from game, still solid 10/10

[@DanteWahou]

Would love to see more Bloodborne reactions in the future. Truly one of FromSoft's best in every regard. Ludwig the Holy Blade is probably my single most favorite piece of video game music of all time! Talk about a piece that feels like a dance between two dueling hunters giving it their all

[@Halovex]

Ludwig the Holy Blade switches from a near cacophony to the very measured movements of a true waltz. It's such a marked difference.

[@Ricardo_Montalbunny]

Guess I have to replay. It's been a while. Amazing music. Cello makes me melt.

[@franky.378]

Same, love this game

[@grimm_satisfaction1292]

Literally everything you said about Lady Maria... Girl, you have no idea... 😅😩

[@NiirTheRaccoon]

Should try Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos' OST. The composer said that she sensed themes of the universe and finality and was filled with visions of the end of the world as she worked on it.

This is a masterpiece of world music. The best soundtracks I’ve ever heard.

[@apolloisnotashirt]

I listen to this to sleep every night. Hoping to end up in the same dream for no reason.

[@aelalkaualmadias8502]

Ah welcome Traveller to the glorious rabbit hole known as Souls OST we hope you enjoy your stay and do watch your step for once you go in... there is no getting out

[@shrumalwarrior]

Ludwig's theme lives and dies by it's explosive climax in the 2nd phase

[@tainicon4639]

The sounds are the combat noises from the boss encounter. Lawrence is in the in game lore a cleric beast. Which are these giant birds, horse, dog human hybrid things (humans turn into them through the in game blood magic). And he is on fire and jumping and rolling towards you. So the sounds of the noises as he’s rolling past you. The recording seems to have been from in the game as opposed to the raw music file. Certain elements repeated multiple times in the version you listen to which normally only occur once in the actual OST. Still a phenomenal song… the song is used in the World of Warcraft meme video Patrick the Ashbringer too haha. I think it’s in the second video in that meme.

[@Nobodyandthegiant]

I think the Gerhman track is one of the songs that most effectively communicates pain, agony, and futility that i've ever heard. I always get goosebumps when I hear it. I hope you check out the Elden ring/shadow of the erdtree OST too

[@mattivirolainen6102]

I just finished this game; about eight years since I bought it in 2016. I never managed to get into it until about two week ago. After that I was pretty much glued to my PS5. 😂 The plot and music would work really well as some sort of epic opera.

[@ladyashenPNW]

16:17 Precisely. In game, the player character is known as a Hunter. Unlike previous FromSoftware games, Bloodborne utilizes a fast-paced combat system that rewards the player for being as aggressive and relentless as possible - never giving your enemies a chance to retaliate or recover. Eventually, you encounter other Hunters like you throughout the world who are all as vicious and deadly as you... including none other than Lady Maria. Unfortunately for you, she guards a terrible secret that she fully intends to keep intact at any cost - and you will sooner meet her blades coated in her own blood and fire than come anywhere near it.

Slave Knight Gael from Dark Souls 3 OST is up there with the best of the Soulsborne and all around game OSTs.

[@Skadi.-]

you should look at each bosses picture to make it more deep, especially ludwig he's actually a very cute horse 🥰, i bet the theme not gonna be so scary anymore

[@jadepleva]

Bloodborne is a descent and ascent into madness it’s both horrifying and beautiful,there is no good or evil in bloodborne only those who want to stay alive,to truly live,reach glory or to transcend because bloodborne at its core is something eldritch and primal,I think that the music captures that perfectly

Mermaid man: EVIIIIILLL!

[@benjaminrosiek5007]

I like how you were "I'd never check games like this out." And literally 30 seconds in you make this face of realization, the "oh... i fucked up"

[@giulianovilardi86]

Fromsoft's other work is also amazing, some of the top of my head are Slave Knight Gael's theme from Dark Souls 3, Main Menu also from Dark Souls 3, The Final Battle from Elden Ring, and Gywn's theme From Dark souls 1.

[@nekro_nemesis]

Another one of my fav. games of all time

[@simon-peterwilliamson2412]

Actually fun fact. The composers for the game focused on key words in order to create the soundtrack of the game. 2 of those of words being mortal struggle. I think that encapsulates gehrman's theme perfectly and a few others

[@CosmicCamelClash]

20:23 is the moment you're looking for.

[@HydrateOrElse]

The exact moment i realized that Ludwig's theme is a Waltz had me going nuts. You're sharing a very treacherous dance with a legend who's lost himself
