Route Flowchart
Screenshot Walkthrough
Phase One
Fight Ludvig as a fast melee opponent. Let his weapon strings finish before punishing, and avoid chasing every dodge because he can bait greedy follow-ups.
Lightning Phase
After the artifact transformation, give yourself more room. Lightning attacks extend his reach and punish late rolls, so choose clean defensive windows over constant aggression.
After the Duel
Defeating Ludvig does not end the chapter. Restock afterward because the story turns toward the Battle at Silver Wolf Mountain and Myurdin.
Quick Tips
- Treat phase two as a new fight.
- Watch for delayed lightning follow-ups.
- Do not spend all stamina closing distance.
