Elden Ring Nightreign Libra Boss Reveal Gameplay
It’s Hero Time?
As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its release date, FromSoftware treated fans to a glimpse of one of its bosses, Libra, who has drawn comparisons to a well-known cartoon character. On May 6, IGN released new gameplay footage showcasing one of the 8 Nightlords, "Libra, Creature of Night."
True to FromSoftware’s signature style, Libra promises a challenging encounter with its devastating attacks and swift movements. Beyond its combat abilities, fans couldn't help but notice a striking similarity between Libra and Grey Matter from the popular cartoon series Ben 10. The resemblance stems from Libra's large, bell-like adornments on its horns, which some mistook for eyes, reminiscent of Grey Matter’s oversized eyes.
This amusing comparison sparked discussions across social media platforms, including YouTube and Reddit, especially after Libra's brief appearance in the game's reveal trailer in December 2024. Despite the humorous side note, Libra is poised to challenge players significantly upon the game's launch.
Madness!
The gameplay footage unveiled Libra as a boss capable of inducing Madness, a status effect that drains health and focus points while stunning players. The video underscores the necessity for effective team coordination, as Libra employs large area-of-effect attacks and intricate attack patterns.
Before confronting Libra, players have the option to strike a deal with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers boosts in strength, ailment resistance, or protection against death. Players can also choose to forgo any deal and engage Libra directly. The video, however, leaves the potential drawbacks of these deals undisclosed. It's revealed that the Scale-bearing Merchant is, in fact, Libra in disguise, who then sheds its skin to unveil its true form.
As the battle intensifies, Libra unleashes a broader range of attacks, starting with spell-based projectiles and summoning area-of-effect sigils. When significantly damaged, Libra enters a berserk state, enhancing its melee attacks and intensifying its madness-inducing spells and area-of-effect capabilities.
With less than a month until its release, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about Elden Ring Nightreign, emphasizing its innovative multiplayer approach to the Souls genre. The recent overview trailer provided insights into the game’s lore, mechanics, and features.
Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for release on May 30, 2025, across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Keep up with the latest news and updates by checking out our dedicated article below!
