Elden Ring Nightreign’s Libra boss reveal gameplay video has sparked a wave of comparisons to Ben 10’s Grey Matter due to its striking appearance. Dive deeper to explore this amusing resemblance and the formidable challenge that the goat-like Nightlord presents.
Elden Ring Nightreign Libra Boss Reveal Gameplay
It’s Hero Time?
As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its eagerly awaited release date, FromSoftware treated fans to a glimpse of one of its challenging bosses, Libra, dubbed "Creature of Night." Unveiled on May 6 by IGN, the gameplay footage showcased this formidable foe, one of the 8 Nightlords, sparking immediate comparisons due to its unique design.
Libra is crafted in the signature FromSoftware style, promising a tough battle with its swift and devastating attacks. Yet, it's not just Libra's combat skills that have caught the eye of the gaming community; its appearance has drawn particular attention.
Fans have humorously noted Libra's resemblance to Grey Matter from the beloved cartoon series, Ben 10, specifically due to what seemed like oversized eyes. However, these "eyes" are actually bells adorning Libra’s horns, adding a quirky twist to its fearsome visage.
This amusing observation was also a topic of discussion on Reddit following the game’s reveal trailer in December 2024, where Libra made a brief appearance. Despite the lighthearted comparisons, Libra is poised to be a significant challenge for players when Elden Ring Nightreign launches.
Madness!
The gameplay footage reveals Libra as a boss capable of inducing madness, inflicting the Madness Status Effect on players, which leads to health and focus point depletion, as well as stunning effects. The video underscores the necessity of team coordination to counter Libra’s large area-of-effect attacks and distinctive attack patterns.
Players have the option to engage with the Scale-bearing Merchant before facing Libra. This merchant offers boosts in strength, resistance to ailments, or a chance to stave off death. Alternatively, players can choose to bypass this deal and confront the boss directly. The video does not clarify any potential drawbacks to these deals, but it's revealed that the Scale-bearing Merchant is, in fact, Libra in disguise, who then transforms into its true, terrifying form.
As the battle with Libra intensifies, the Nightlord unleashes an increasing array of dangerous moves. Initially, Libra employs spell-casting and area-of-effect sigils, but as its health depletes, it enters a berserk state, enhancing the damage of its melee attacks and the potency of its madness-inducing spells, with wider area-of-effect attacks.
With Elden Ring Nightreign's release just around the corner, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about the game, promising a unique multiplayer experience in the Souls genre. The recent overview trailer provided insights into the game’s lore, gameplay mechanics, and features.
Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for release on May 30, 2025, available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay updated with the latest news and developments by checking out our article below!
