Elden Ring Nightreign Libra Boss Reveal Gameplay

It’s Hero Time?

As Elden Ring Nightreign nears its eagerly anticipated release, FromSoftware treated fans to a glimpse of one of its formidable bosses. On May 6, IGN unveiled new gameplay footage showcasing one of the eight Nightlords, dubbed "Libra, Creature of Night."

True to FromSoftware's signature style, Libra promises a challenging encounter with its swift and devastating attacks. Yet, beyond its prowess in battle, the boss's appearance has caught the community's eye.

Fans on YouTube quickly pointed out Libra's striking similarity to Grey Matter from the beloved animated series Ben 10, particularly noting the large eyes. However, these so-called eyes are actually bells hanging from Libra's horns, adding a humorous twist to the comparison. This resemblance sparked discussions on Reddit as early as the game's reveal trailer in December 2024, where Libra made a brief appearance. Despite the light-hearted comparisons, Libra is poised to pose a significant challenge to players 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 along with stunning effects. The video underscores the necessity of team coordination, given Libra's expansive area-of-effect attacks and unique combat patterns.

Before engaging in battle, players have the option to negotiate with the Scale-bearing Merchant. This mysterious figure offers enhanced strength, resistance to ailments, or protection from death. Alternatively, players can choose to bypass the deal and confront the boss directly. The video does not clarify any potential drawbacks or costs associated with the deal. Interestingly, it's revealed that the Scale-bearing Merchant is actually Libra in disguise, who then sheds its skin to unveil its true form.

As the battle unfolds, Libra's threat level escalates, unleashing a broader range of attacks. Initially, he resorts to casting spells as projectiles and summoning area-of-effect sigils across the battlefield. Once sufficiently damaged, Libra enters a berserk state, intensifying his melee attacks and enhancing the effectiveness of his madness-based spells, with wider area-of-effect attacks.

With less than a month until its release, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about Elden Ring Nightreign, highlighting their innovative approach to multiplayer in Souls-like games. Recently, they released an overview trailer that delved into the game's lore, gameplay, features, and more.

Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for release on May 30, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Keep up with the latest developments by checking out our dedicated article below!
