Elden Ring Nightreign Libra Boss Reveal Gameplay
It’s Hero Time?
As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its eagerly awaited release date, FromSoftware tantalized fans with a glimpse of one of its bosses, sparking a surprising comparison to a beloved cartoon character. On May 6, IGN unveiled new gameplay footage of one of the 8 Nightlords, named "Libra, Creature of Night."
True to FromSoftware's tradition, Libra promises a challenging encounter with devastating attacks and swift movements. However, what caught the eye of many fans was not just Libra's combat prowess but his striking appearance.
YouTube commenters quickly pointed out that Libra bears an uncanny resemblance to Grey Matter from the popular cartoon series Ben 10. This comparison stems from Libra’s large, bell-like features that some mistook for eyes, reminiscent of Grey Matter’s distinctive look. This amusing observation also surfaced on Reddit during the game's reveal trailer in December 2024, where Libra made a brief appearance. Despite the lighthearted comparisons, Libra is poised to be a formidable adversary when the game launches.
Madness!
The gameplay footage reveals Libra as a boss that induces madness, afflicting players with the Madness Status Effect, which drains health and focus points while stunning them. The video emphasizes the critical role of team coordination, as Libra unleashes large area-of-effect attacks and intricate patterns.
Before engaging in battle, players can strike a deal with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers boosts in strength, resistance to ailments, or protection from death. Alternatively, players can choose to bypass this deal and confront Libra directly. The video leaves unclear any potential drawbacks of the deal. Upon making or rejecting the deal, the Scale-bearing Merchant transforms, revealing himself to be Libra, shedding his disguise to unveil his true form.
As the battle intensifies, Libra unleashes a broader range of devastating moves. He starts with spell-casting projectiles and summoning AoE sigils across the battlefield. Once sufficiently damaged, Libra enters a berserk state, amplifying the damage of his melee attacks and enhancing his madness-inducing spells and widening his AoE attacks.
With Elden Ring Nightreign's release just around the corner, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about the game, promising a multiplayer experience unlike any other in the Souls series. The recent overview trailer highlighted the game's lore, gameplay mechanics, and features.
Elden Ring Nightreign is scheduled for release on May 30, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates by checking out our latest articles below!
