Ludwig fell last night. One of the all time great boss battles, loads of fun to fight even after dying countless times.
I'm also loving the Whirligig saw. I was using the sawblade in this playthrough after using the threaded cane in the last one but I find it a whole lot less gun. The extended blade is kind of useless since attacks are so slow and while the transformation attacks have very high damage output the animation frames are way too slow again. It means both those forms of attack are utterly useless since you are just going to get hit out of them when comboing with them. It means you are just using the shortened version which has much higher damage output and very fast attack speed.
The whirligig though is something else. The basic form has ok damage but decent range as well. The real beauty is with the saw blade engaged. It's incredibly slow but the damage is insane and the it can cause even the bigger enemies to stagger. The charged up R2 does multiple hits and even if you don't get a back attack can cause even the biggest enemies to stagger. You do lose your ability to use a gun but you gain a new long range attack with L2 and if you hold L2 after the attack you'll start grinding the saw blade which can cause silly amounts of damage. It's basically E Honda's 100 hand slap of bloodborne

Just had a chance to start the DLC last night. IS the whirlgig the weapon the first enemy you come to on the right side path uses? The big long kind of logging saw thing that I keep getting my ass handed to me with?0 -

If you are having trouble with those whip guys there's loads of them! I find them pretty easy to hit them with a gun for a visceral attack though.0 -

Getting stuck in the enclosed space of the passage didn't help but I really wasn't expecting him to blast me the second time with his gun, I was sure he was going to use his other weapon. The amount of damage I am doing is a bit of a concern too. It's not looking good for a boss fight if my damage output is so little.
I had to level up a good bit before I tackled it and got my weapon up to level 9. The gatling guy isn't so bad you can avoid the gun using the pillars in the area and attack him after he runs out of bullets.

I've read they are chance drops, so you could get screwed over even if you get passed the boss. Also i heard if you have one in your inventory (not used) another won't drop >_<
What kind of builds are you all rocking?
My first play through i just kinda went a bit random with the stats, dropped them into vit/end/str/skill, i was mainly using the saw blade.
So decided to roll a new character and went mostly arcance (vit/end also ofc) and got to new game+ and then bought the DLc and realised i should have gotten it before going into NG+. Not being completely sold on the arcane build, ludwigs is a boring weapon which is too slow.
I decided to start a new character again, ha
My stats are currently:
Vit: 44
Endurance:25
Str: 10
Skill: 45
BT:45
Arc: 9
And im rocking Chikage (lvl10) which i use pretty much exclusively and with Reiterpallasch +9 which i havent really used since getting chikage, id like to get a good reaching 2hander for certain fights but not sure what one would suite my build well, maybe burial blade?
And left hand ive Eveylin +9 and hunter blunder + 6
anybody any advice? I cant find a good site which has much talk of builds and what not

I saw a YouTube clip of some guy with 90+ rocks(!!!)
I asked in the comments how he managed it. No reply.
Just finished DLC, and started NG+3
Level 241
Vit: 85
End: 65
Str: 58
Skill: 37
Blood: 23
Arcane: 22
So I'm done a lot of echo farming in Chalice Dungeons to upgrade levels.
I've all the new weapons and two blood rocks, but unsure which to max out.0 -
I got the 2nd blood rock near end boss in DLC and decided to max out Simons blade, the blades has a nice spread for taking on multiple mobs with normal attacks and an R2 that hits twice similar to the hunter axe when 2 Handed.
And the bow is amazing, i just started NG+ and i can lock on to the rifleman from afar and one shot them..

Got to Ludwig last night and just had 1 pass at him before I had to hit the sack. Turns out he wasn't that bad and I finished him first try..............
Not.....
Any tips for him, what weapons are useful etc?
He's easy compared to what follows. Just learn his moves and keep to his sides which is safer, he has a powerful back attack if you try to go there. Also if you need help there's a npc at the bottom of the stairs at the save point.

I thought the same and got him down on the 3rd, i found being aggressive got me through it, quick step to his sides and just unleash. When he does his big jump in the air just run/roll towards where he was until he lands, which is usually behind you..
His second phase is alot easier to manage him, his first phase being the tough/scary part
