Elden Ring Nightreign Unveils Libra Boss Gameplay
A Cartoonish Resemblance?
As Elden Ring Nightreign nears its launch, FromSoftware showcased a new boss, Libra, Creature of Night, in gameplay footage released by IGN on May 6. The character’s design sparked immediate recognition among fans for its unexpected similarity to a well-known cartoon figure.
True to FromSoftware’s style, Libra promises a challenging fight with swift, devastating static devastating attacks. Beyond its combat prowess, fans have pointed out a curious detail about the goat-like Nightlord’s appearance.
YouTube comments highlighted Libra’s resemblance to Grey Matter from the popular animated series Ben 10, noting what appeared to be oversized eyes but were actually bells on its horns. This amusing observation also surfaced on Reddit during the game’s December 2024 trailer, where Libra made a brief appearance. Despite the lighthearted comparison, Libra is poised to be a formidable foe upon the game’s release.
A Frenzied Encounter
The gameplay footage reveals Libra as a madness-inducing boss, inflicting the Madness Status Effect, which drains health and focus points while stunning players. The video emphasizes the need for team synergy, as Libra unleashes wide-ranging area-of-effect attacks and unpredictable patterns.
Before the battle, players can negotiate with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers enhanced strength, ailment resistance, or protection from death. Players may also choose to skip the deal and face the boss directly. The footage leaves unclear any potential consequences of the deal. Surprisingly, the Merchant is revealed to be Libra, who sheds its disguise to unveil its true form.
As the fight intensifies, Libra grows more lethal, deploying projectile spells and summoning area-of-effect sigils. After sustaining enough damage, it enters a frenzied state, unleashing powerful melee strikes and amplifying its madness-inducing spells and area attacks.
With the release less than a month away, FromSoftware continues to share details, signaling that Nightreign’s multiplayer take on the Souls formula will offer a unique experience. A recent overview trailer highlighted the game’s lore, mechanics, and features.
Elden Ring Nightreign launches on May 30, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay informed with the latest game updates in our article below!
