Elden Ring Nightreign Libra Boss Reveal Gameplay

It's Hero Time?

As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its launch, FromSoftware has teased one of its eight Nightlords - "Libra, Creature of Night" - revealing an unexpected connection to pop culture. The May 6 gameplay footage from IGN showcases this formidable boss who, despite his crushing difficulty, has fans chuckling at his resemblance to a cartoon alien.

YouTube comments exploded with comparisons to Ben 10's Grey Matter, primarily due to what appeared to be massive eyes. The truth, however, is far more unsettling - those "eyes" are actually bells hanging from Libra's horns. This amusing observation first surfaced during the game's December 2024 trailer reveal on Reddit, though players should expect nothing but pain when facing this boss at launch.

Madness!

The footage reveals Libra as a madness-inducing nightmare, capable of draining health and focus points while stunning players. Team coordination proves essential against his devastating area-of-effect attacks and unpredictable patterns. An intriguing pre-battle mechanic allows players to bargain with the Scale-bearing Merchant for temporary advantages, though with mysterious potential consequences.

In true FromSoftware fashion, the encounter escalates dramatically as Libra sheds his merchant disguise and reveals his true form. The battle intensifies with spell barrages, summoned sigils, and eventual berserk rage - all while expanding madness effects and attack ranges. With the game's launch approaching on May 30, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, FromSoftware continues to tease their revolutionary multiplayer Souls experience.
