Elden Ring Nightreign Libra Boss Reveal Gameplay
It’s Hero Time?
As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its eagerly anticipated release, FromSoftware has treated fans to a glimpse of one of its bosses, sparking a wave of nostalgia with its striking resemblance to a beloved cartoon character. On May 6, IGN released new gameplay footage showcasing one of the 8 Nightlords, dubbed "Libra, Creature of Night."
Staying true to FromSoftware's tradition, Libra promises to be a challenging adversary with its devastating attacks and swift movements. However, beyond its combat abilities, fans couldn't help but notice Libra's visual similarity to Grey Matter from the popular TV series Ben 10. The connection stems from Libra's apparent large eyes, which are actually bells hanging from his horns—a detail that sparked both humor and discussion.
This amusing comparison first surfaced on YouTube and later became a hot topic on Reddit following the game's reveal trailer in December 2024, where Libra made a brief appearance. Despite the lighthearted comparisons, Libra is poised to challenge players fiercely upon the game's launch.
Madness!
The gameplay footage reveals Libra as a boss that induces madness, afflicting players with the Madness Status Effect, which leads to health and focus point loss, as well as stunning them. The video underscores the importance of team coordination, given Libra's large area-of-effect attacks and unique patterns.
Before engaging in battle, players have the option to strike a deal with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers enhanced strength, resistance to ailments, or protection from death. Players can also choose to bypass this deal and confront the boss directly. However, the video leaves the potential drawbacks or costs of this deal ambiguous. Once the deal is made—or not—the Scale-bearing Merchant transforms into Libra, shedding its skin to reveal its true, menacing form.
As the battle unfolds, Libra becomes increasingly lethal, unleashing a broader range of attacks. Initially, he casts spells as projectiles and summons area-of-effect sigils across the battlefield. As players inflict more damage, Libra enters a berserk state, dealing massive damage with melee attacks. His madness-based spells grow more potent, and his area-of-effect attacks expand.
With the release just around the corner, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about Elden Ring Nightreign, promising a multiplayer experience unlike any other in the Souls series. The recent overview trailer provided insights into the game's lore, gameplay mechanics, and features.
Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for release on May 30, 2025, and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned for the latest updates by checking out our article below!
