Elden Ring Nightreign Libra Boss Reveal Gameplay

It’s Hero Time?

As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its release date, FromSoftware teased fans with a glimpse of one of its challenging bosses, Libra, the "Creature of Night." On May 6, IGN unveiled gameplay footage of this menacing Nightlord, showcasing its devastating attacks and swift movements.

Yet, beyond its formidable presence, Libra's appearance caught the eye of fans for an unexpected reason.

YouTube commenters quickly pointed out that Libra bears a striking resemblance to Grey Matter from the popular cartoon series Ben 10, primarily due to what appeared to be large eyes but were actually bells hanging from its horns. This amusing observation also surfaced on Reddit during the game's reveal trailer in December 2024. Despite the light-hearted comparisons, Libra promises to be a daunting adversary when Elden Ring Nightreign launches.

Madness!

The gameplay footage revealed Libra as a boss capable of inducing madness, inflicting the Madness Status Effect that drains players' health and focus points while stunning them. This highlights the necessity for strong team coordination, given Libra's wide-reaching area-of-effect attacks and intricate move patterns.

Before facing Libra, players have the option to negotiate with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers boosts in strength, resistance to ailments, or a chance to hold death at bay. Players can choose to make a deal or bypass it and confront the boss directly. Interestingly, the video does not specify any potential downsides to accepting the merchant's offer. It's later revealed that the Scale-bearing Merchant is, in fact, Libra, who then sheds its disguise to unveil its true form.

As the battle unfolds, Libra escalates its threat level, unleashing a broader range of attacks. It begins with casting projectile spells and summoning area-of-effect sigils. When sufficiently damaged, Libra enters a berserk state, increasing the potency of its melee attacks and madness-based spells, while expanding the reach of its area-of-effect assaults.

With the game's launch just around the corner, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about Elden Ring Nightreign, emphasizing its innovative multiplayer approach to the Souls-like genre. The recent overview trailer provided a deep dive into the game's lore, gameplay mechanics, and features.

Elden Ring Nightreign is scheduled for release on May 30, 2025, and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated title!
