It’s Hero Time?

As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its release date, FromSoftware has treated fans to a glimpse of one of its challenging bosses, Libra, known as the "Creature of Night." Released on May 6 by IGN, the gameplay footage showcases Libra, one of the 8 Nightlords, highlighting its formidable combat abilities.

True to FromSoftware's style, Libra promises a tough battle with its swift and devastating attacks. Yet, beyond its prowess in combat, fans have been quick to point out a rather amusing similarity.

On YouTube, comments have drawn parallels between Libra and Grey Matter from the popular cartoon series Ben 10, citing the Nightlord's large, bell-shaped features on its horns, which some mistook for eyes. This amusing comparison first surfaced on Reddit during the game's reveal trailer in December 2024, where Libra made a brief appearance. Despite the light-hearted banter, Libra is poised to be a significant challenge for players upon the game's launch.

Madness!

The gameplay footage reveals Libra's ability to induce madness in players, afflicting them with the Madness Status Effect that drains health and focus points while stunning them. The video underscores the necessity of team coordination, given Libra's expansive area-of-effect attacks and intricate attack patterns.

Before engaging Libra, players encounter the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers choices between enhanced strength, resistance to ailments, or protection from death. Players may also opt out of any deal and proceed directly to the boss. Interestingly, the video leaves the potential drawbacks or costs of these deals ambiguous. Once a decision is made—or not—the Scale-bearing Merchant transforms, revealing itself as Libra and shedding its skin to unveil its true, menacing form.

As the battle intensifies, Libra unleashes a broader range of devastating moves, from spell-casting projectiles to summoning area-of-effect sigils across the battlefield. When sufficiently damaged, Libra enters a berserk state, intensifying its melee attacks and amplifying the potency of its madness-inducing spells and widening its area-of-effect attacks.

With the game's release just around the corner on May 30, 2025, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about Elden Ring Nightreign, promising a unique multiplayer experience unlike any previous Souls game. The recent overview trailer delved into the game's lore, gameplay mechanics, and additional features.

Elden Ring Nightreign will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned for the latest updates and in-depth coverage on our site!
