Elden Ring Nightreign's Libra boss reveal has sparked a wave of excitement among fans, particularly due to Libra's striking resemblance to Ben 10's Grey Matter. This article delves into the amusing comparison and explores the formidable nature 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 treated fans to a glimpse of one of its bosses, Libra, in a gameplay video released by IGN on May 6. This Nightlord, dubbed "Libra, Creature of Night," is one of the eight formidable adversaries players will face.

Libra's design and mechanics stay true to FromSoftware's reputation for challenging gameplay, boasting devastating attacks and swift movements. However, what caught fans' attention was not just Libra's combat skills but also its appearance.

Commenters on YouTube quickly noted Libra's striking similarity to Grey Matter from the popular cartoon series Ben 10, primarily due to what seemed like massive eyes but were actually bells hanging from his horns. This resemblance sparked humorous discussions and was a topic of interest on Reddit following the game's reveal trailer in December 2024. Despite the light-hearted comparisons, Libra promises to be a formidable challenge for players.

Madness!

The gameplay footage revealed that Libra is not just a visually unique boss but also one that induces madness. Players will have to contend with the Madness Status Effect, which causes health and focus points loss while stunning them. The video emphasized the necessity of team coordination to navigate Libra's wide-ranging area-of-effect attacks and complex patterns.

Before engaging Libra, players encounter the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers choices such as great strength, resistance to ailments, or protection from death. Players can also choose to bypass the deal and confront the boss directly. However, the video leaves the potential drawbacks or costs of these choices unclear. Intriguingly, the Scale-bearing Merchant is revealed to be Libra itself, shedding its skin to unveil its true form.

As the battle intensifies, Libra unleashes a broader range of attacks, starting with spell projectiles and AoE sigils. Once sufficiently damaged, Libra enters a berserk state, increasing the potency of its melee attacks and madness-based spells, along with expanding its AoE capabilities.

With the game's release just around the corner on May 30, 2025, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about Elden Ring Nightreign, emphasizing its innovative multiplayer approach to the Souls genre. The recent overview trailer provided a deeper look into the game's lore, gameplay mechanics, and features.

Elden Ring Nightreign will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay updated with the latest news by checking out our dedicated article below!
