One of the many weapons in the 2015 game Bloodborne, Ludwig's Holy Blade is one of the best weapons in the game. At its base the sword is a standard broad sword with a charged attack that does thrust damage (one of the many damage types, thrust gives a heavy damage buff when fighting enemies that are under the "kin" type). When tricked (hitting the L1 button tricks a weapon giving it a second form to use) the Holy Blade becomes a great sword using its sheath as the new blade. As a great sword the attacks are slower and cost more stamina to do, but cause much more damage. The tricked charge attack also does thrust damage. The sword can use paper (usable item that can give a weapon the fire, lightning, or arcane damage type for a short time) in both forms. Attained by purchasing it from the shop after getting the Radiant Sword Hunter badge item from the Healing Church Workshop area in the Cathedral Ward area. You need to beat the boss of the area old Yharnam (Blood Starved Beast) to enter the Healing Church Workshop.

Bloodborne Player 2: Use Ludwig's Holy Blade and lightning paper as Rom is kin type and will take massive damage from charged attacks.
