Holy Moonlight Sword is a Trick Weapon in

Bloodborne. It was introduced with The Old Hunters
DLC.
There are 3 versions of this weapon: Normal, Uncanny,
and Lost. The only known differences being the
Gem Imprints and the locations in which they are
found.

Holy Moonlight Sword

Description
"An arcane sword discovered long ago by Ludwig.
When blue moonlight dances around the sword, and it
channels the abyssal cosmos, its great blade will hurl a
shadowy lightwave.
The Holy Moonlight Sword is synonymous with Ludwig,
the Holy Blade, but few have ever set eyes on the great
blade, and whatever guidance it has to offer, it seems to
be of a very private, elusive sort."

Holy Moonlight Sword

Information
Transforms from a one-handed Greatsword into
the two-handed Moonlight Greatsword.
50% righteous bonus for all attacks.
Untransformed R1 attacks deal 50% of the listed
arcane damage.

Untransformed -> Transformed L1 deals

83.3% of the listed arcane damage.
Transformed R1 attacks deal 70% of the listed
arcane damage.

Transformed -> Untransformed  L1 deals

100% of the listed arcane damage.
Transformed  R2 attacks (with bullets) deal 0% of
the listed arcane damage; 100% of the arcane
damage is transferred to the sword's projectile.
Transformed  R2 attacks (without bullets) deal
70% of the listed arcane damage, as there is no
projectile.
The L2 attack (with bullets) deals 100% of the
listed arcane damage.
The L2 attack (without bullets) deals 70% of the
listed arcane damage.
The Normal variant performs well enough,
allowing for triangular gems such as Odd
(Temp/Arc) or Abyssal Nourishing gems.
The Uncanny variant performs  slightly worse,
allowing only Abyssal Nourishing gems, as fire
and bolt are wasted on this weapon.
The Lost variant performs best due to its triangle
and waning gem slots,  which can be utilized for
two strong Abyssal Nourishing gems.

Location
Normal

The Hunter's Nightmare: Found on the

Underground Corpse Pile after the fight against
Ludwig, The Holy Blade. Ludwig's head will be
lying there and you can:

Kill the head for the sword.

Wear a piece of any church attire and talk to
the head. When prompted, reply "Yes" and
you'll get the sword.
Wear a piece of any church attire and reply
"No", then come back later and
Simon the Harrowed will be there and give
you the sword.
NOTE: This weapon is missable. If Laurence
is killed before you obtain it, you will no
longer be able to talk to the head or obtain it
from Simon.
Uncanny Holy Moonlight Sword

If you have the normal version: Create Glyph

8i29rqz3 (Pthumeru Labyrinth) and buy from Bath
Messengers up a ladder from the main room for
80,000 Blood Echoes.
Lost Holy Moonlight Sword

If you have the normal version: Create Glyph

8i29rqz3 (Pthumeru Labyrinth) and buy from Bath
Messengers up a ladder from the main room for
80,000 Blood Echoes.

Player Notes
All arcane damage %s (presented in the
weapon's information above)  are applied to the
individual attacks' multipliers. E.G., the
transformed running R1 has a 1.1 multiplier, so its
arcane damage multiplier is 0.7 * 1.1 = 0.77. Thus,
if your Holy Moonlight Sword's  stats read  that it
has "100 + 50" arcane damage, you will deal (100
+ 50) * 0.77 = 115.5 arcane damage.
Transformed R2 attacks at close range will hit
foes with both the sword and the projectile,
dealing 100% of the physical and arcane damage
listed.
Without QS bullets, the transformed heavy
attacks will no longer emit projectiles.
Cannot be buffed with consumables such as
Empty Phantasm Shell, Bolt Paper, or Fire Paper.
Cannot be changed to a different element by
using Gems that give Fire or Bolt bonuses.
The weapon has poise / hyper-armor frames in
both of its normal and transformed modes. You
cannot be interrupted by light attacks mid-swing
while you are attacking an enemy.

Trivia
It seems to be another reappearance of the
Moonlight Greatsword, a recurring item found
around FromSoftware's games. Notable
examples of such games include the first, second
and third Dark Souls games, Demon's Souls,
King's Field, Ninja Blade, Enchanted Arms,
Armored Core, 3D Dot Game Heroes, and Otogi.

Nourishing + Arcane ATK Gems on a

Quality/Arcane build is truly the best path.
Focus on Strength and Skill first as physical
attack carries over to the Transformed version
and will always do more damage even with
with low Arcane.
