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, the "Creature of Night." Unveiled on May 6 by IGN, the gameplay footage showcased one of the eight Nightlords, and fans quickly noticed a familiar look reminiscent of a cartoon character.
Libra embodies the challenging nature typical of FromSoftware bosses, boasting devastating attacks and swift movements. Yet, beyond its combat abilities, fans couldn't help but point out Libra's striking resemblance to Grey Matter from the popular TV series Ben 10. This comparison stems from Libra's apparent massive eyes, which amusingly turned out to be bells hanging from his horns.
This observation sparked discussions on platforms like YouTube and Reddit, where fans first noticed the resemblance during the game's reveal trailer in December 2024. Despite the humorous comparisons, Libra is poised to be a formidable adversary in Elden Ring Nightreign, challenging players with his formidable presence.
Madness!
The gameplay footage reveals that Libra is not just visually striking but also a madness-inducing boss. He afflicts players with the Madness Status Effect, leading to health and focus point losses, and stunning them. The video underscores the importance of team coordination, given Libra's large area-of-effect (AoE) attacks and unique attack patterns.
Players have the option to engage with the Scale-bearing Merchant before facing Libra. This merchant offers boosts in strength, resistance to ailments, or protection from death. Alternatively, players can choose to bypass this interaction and confront the boss directly. Intriguingly, the footage reveals that the Scale-bearing Merchant is actually Libra in disguise, shedding its skin to unveil its true, menacing form.
As the battle intensifies, Libra unleashes a broader range of attacks, including spell-casting projectiles and summoning AoE sigils. When sufficiently damaged, he enters a berserk state, dealing massive damage with melee attacks and enhancing the effectiveness of his madness-based spells and widening his AoE attacks.
With Elden Ring Nightreign set to launch in less than a month, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about the game, emphasizing its innovative multiplayer approach to the Souls series. Recently, they released an overview trailer showcasing the game's lore, gameplay, and features.
Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for release on May 30, 2025, across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned to our updates for the latest information on the game!
