Elden Ring Nightreign Libra Boss Reveal Gameplay

It’s Hero Time?

As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its release, FromSoftware unveiled a glimpse of one of its bosses, Libra, the "Creature of Night," in a gameplay video released by IGN on May 6. This boss, one of the 8 Nightlords, not only promises a challenging fight with its swift and devastating attacks but also caught fans' attention for its striking resemblance to a popular cartoon character.

Fans on YouTube quickly pointed out that Libra bears an uncanny similarity to Grey Matter from the animated series Ben 10, primarily due to what appeared to be massive eyes but were actually bells hanging from his horns. This amusing comparison was also a topic of discussion on Reddit following Libra's brief appearance in the game's reveal trailer in December 2024. Despite the light-hearted comparisons, Libra is poised to be a formidable adversary in the game.

Madness!

The gameplay footage showcased Libra's ability to induce madness in players, inflicting the Madness Status Effect that leads to health and focus point loss, as well as stunning effects. The video emphasized the necessity of team coordination to counter Libra's large area-of-effect attacks and unique combat patterns.

Before engaging Libra, players have the option to strike a deal with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers boosts in strength, resistance to ailments, or protection from death. Players can also choose to bypass this deal and confront the boss directly. Interestingly, the Scale-bearing Merchant is revealed to be Libra itself, who then sheds its skin to unveil its true form.

As the battle intensifies, Libra unleashes a broader range of attacks, from casting spells and summoning area-of-effect sigils to executing powerful melee attacks when pushed to its limits. His madness-based spells become increasingly potent, and his area-of-effect attacks expand, making the fight progressively more challenging.

With less than a month until its release, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about Elden Ring Nightreign, promising a unique multiplayer experience in the Souls genre. 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, across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates by checking out our related articles below!
