- Ludwig, the Holy Blade: Aah, you were at my side, all along. My true mentor... My guiding moonlight...
- Ludwig, the Holy Blade: Good Hunter of the Church, Have you seen the light? Are my Church Hunters the honorable spartans I hoped they would be?
- [Answer yes]
- Ludwig, the Holy Blade: Ah, good... that is a relief. To know I did not suffer such denigration for nothing. Thank you kindly. Now I may sleep in peace. Even in this darkest of nights, I see... the moonlight...
- [Answer no]
- Ludwig, the Holy Blade: Oh, my. Just as I feared. Then a beast-possessed degenerate was I, as my detractors made eminently clear. Does the nightmare never end?
- Ludwig, the Holy Blade: Good hunter, have you seen the thread of light? Just a hair, a fleeting thing, yet I clung to it, steeped as I was in the stench of blood and beasts. I never wanted to know, what it really was. Really, I didn't.
- [He will then proceed to wail and howl wildly until you kill him, or speak to him while wearing Church Hunter attire]
- Lady Maria of the Astral Clock Tower: A corpse... should be left well alone.
- Lady Maria of the Astral Clock Tower: Oh, I know very well. How the secrets beckon so sweetly.
- Lady Maria of the Astral Clock Tower: Only an honest death will cure you now. Liberate you from your wild curiosity
- Simon, The Harrowed: You're a hunter with your sanity, aren't you? Must've taken a wrong turn then, eh? Well, we're more alike than you think. This is the Hunter's Nightmare, where hunters end up when drunk with blood. You've seen them before. Aimless, wandering hunters, slavering like beasts. This is what the poor fools have to look forward to. So, don't be brash, turn back before it's too late. Unless, you've something of an interest in nightmares?
- Simon, The Harrowed: [Respond with: Nightmares are fascinating] Ahh, yes, I see... You sense a secret within the Nightmare, And cannot bear to leave it be. As if the spirit of Byrgenwerth lives on within you! Such inquisitive hunters will relish the Nightmare. But beware, secrets are secrets for a reason. And some do not wish to see them uncovered. Especially when the secrets are particularly unseemly...
- Simon, The Harrowed: Yes, as it should be. Hunt your beasts, and think no more on the secrets of the night. That is the very best a hunter can do. Just don't let the blood intoxicate you.
- Simon, The Harrowed: Do you know why the Hunters are drawn to this Nightmare? Because it sprouted from their very misdeeds. Things that some would rather keep secret. A pitiful tale of petty arrogance, really. High time someone exposed the whole charade.
