Elden Ring Nightreign's Libra boss has sparked a wave of excitement among fans, not only for its challenging gameplay but also for its striking resemblance to Ben 10's Grey Matter. Dive deeper to discover more about this intriguing comparison and the formidable power of the goat-like Nightlord.
Elden Ring Nightreign Libra Boss Reveal Gameplay
It’s Hero Time?
As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its eagerly awaited release, FromSoftware has treated fans to a glimpse of one of its formidable bosses, Libra, the "Creature of Night." Unveiled on May 6 by IGN, this gameplay footage showcases one of the 8 Nightlords, stirring excitement and curiosity among the community.
Libra embodies the challenging spirit typical of FromSoftware's creations, boasting devastating attacks and swift movements. Yet, beyond its battle prowess, fans couldn't help but notice a peculiar resemblance.
The comments section on YouTube buzzed with observations about Libra's striking similarity to Grey Matter from the popular animated series, Ben 10. This connection stems from Libra's appearance, which features what seemed to be massive eyes but are actually bells hanging from its horns. This amusing comparison was also a hot topic on Reddit following the game's reveal trailer in December 2024, where Libra made a brief appearance. Despite the light-hearted comparisons, Libra promises to be a formidable challenge when the game launches.
Madness!
The gameplay footage reveals Libra as a boss capable of inducing madness, afflicting players with the Madness Status Effect. This effect leads to health and focus point losses, stunning players in the process. The video underscores the necessity of team coordination, given Libra's expansive area-of-effect attacks and unique attack patterns.
Before engaging in battle, players have the option to negotiate with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers boosts in strength, resistance to ailments, or a reprieve from death. Players can also choose to bypass this deal and confront the boss directly. Interestingly, the video leaves viewers wondering about any potential drawbacks of these deals. It's later revealed that the Scale-bearing Merchant is none other than Libra itself, who then sheds its disguise to unveil its true form.
As the battle escalates, Libra unleashes a broader array of attacks, starting with spell projectiles and summoning area-of-effect sigils. Once sufficiently damaged, Libra enters a berserk state, intensifying its melee attacks and enhancing the potency of its madness-inducing spells, along with wider area-of-effect attacks.
With the release of Elden Ring Nightreign just around the corner, FromSoftware continues to captivate fans with new insights into the game. The recent overview trailer offered a deeper look into the game's lore, gameplay, and features, highlighting the unique multiplayer approach that promises an unprecedented Souls-like experience.
Elden Ring Nightreign is scheduled for release on May 30, 2025, across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates by checking out our dedicated article below!
