Elden Ring Nightreign Libra Boss Reveal Gameplay

It’s Hero Time?

As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its eagerly awaited release, FromSoftware treated fans to a glimpse of one of its bosses, Libra, who surprisingly reminded many of a cartoon figure. On May 6, IGN released new gameplay footage showcasing one of the 8 Nightlords, "Libra, Creature of Night."

True to FromSoftware's reputation, Libra promises a challenging encounter with its swift and devastating attacks. Yet, beyond its combat skills, fans couldn't help but notice Libra's striking resemblance to a character from popular culture.

Comments on YouTube highlighted Libra's uncanny similarity to Grey Matter, an alien from the animated series Ben 10, primarily due to what seemed like oversized 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, where Libra made a brief appearance. Despite the humorous comparisons, Libra is poised to be a formidable adversary when Elden Ring Nightreign launches.

Madness!

The gameplay footage showcased Libra as a boss that induces madness, afflicting players with the Madness Status Effect, leading to health and focus points loss, and temporarily stunning them. The video emphasized the necessity of team coordination, given Libra's expansive area-of-effect attacks and intricate attack patterns.

Before confronting Libra, players can engage with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers choices between enhanced strength, resistance to ailments, or protection from death. Players can also choose to bypass this deal and face the boss directly. The video leaves the potential consequences of these choices unclear. Intriguingly, the Scale-bearing Merchant is revealed to be Libra itself, shedding its disguise to unveil its true form.

As the battle unfolds, Libra's ferocity escalates, unleashing a broader range of attacks, from casting projectile spells to summoning area-of-effect sigils. When sufficiently damaged, Libra enters a berserk state, intensifying its melee attacks and enhancing the potency of its madness-inducing spells and expanding its area-of-effect attacks.

With the game's release just around the corner, FromSoftware continues to unveil more details, emphasizing that Elden Ring Nightreign's innovative multiplayer approach will offer a unique Souls-like experience. The recent overview trailer provided insights into the game’s lore, gameplay mechanics, features, and more.

Elden Ring Nightreign is scheduled to launch on May 30, 2025, across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Keep an eye on our updates for the latest on the game!
