Elden Ring Nightreign Libra Boss Reveal Gameplay

It’s Hero Time?

As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its much-anticipated release, FromSoftware unveiled a captivating glimpse of one of its bosses, Libra, also known as "Creature of Night," in new gameplay footage released by IGN on May 6. This reveal showcased one of the 8 Nightlords, embodying the challenging gameplay synonymous with FromSoftware titles.

Libra's design, while menacing with its devastating attacks and swift movements, has caught fans' attention for more than just its battle prowess. The goat-like Nightlord's appearance has sparked discussions across the gaming community.

On YouTube, fans couldn't help but notice Libra's striking resemblance to Grey Matter from the beloved cartoon series, Ben 10. The connection stems from Libra's large, bell-like features hanging from its horns, which some mistook for eyes akin to Grey Matter’s. This amusing observation was also a topic of conversation on Reddit following Libra's brief appearance in the game’s reveal trailer in December 2024. Despite the light-hearted comparisons, Libra promises to be a formidable adversary in the game.

Madness!

The gameplay footage highlights Libra as a madness-inducing boss, capable of inflicting the Madness Status Effect on players. This effect leads to the loss of health and focus points, stunning players and making team coordination crucial. Libra's large area-of-effect attacks and unique patterns underscore the importance of strategy in battle.

Before engaging Libra, players have the option to strike a deal with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers boosts in strength, resistance to ailments, or protection from death. Players can also choose to bypass this deal and confront the boss directly. Interestingly, the video reveals that the Scale-bearing Merchant is actually Libra in disguise, who then transforms into its true, menacing form.

As the battle with Libra intensifies, the Nightlord unleashes a broader range of attacks, from spell-casting projectiles to summoning area-of-effect sigils. When sufficiently damaged, Libra enters a berserk state, increasing the potency of its melee attacks and madness-based spells, making its area-of-effect attacks even more devastating.

With Elden Ring Nightreign's release just around the corner on May 30, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about the game. The recent overview trailer provided insights into the game's lore, gameplay mechanics, and features, promising a unique multiplayer experience in the Souls genre. Stay tuned for more updates and prepare for an adventure like no other.
