Elden Ring's Nightreign Libra Reminds Fans of Ben 10 Character

Elden Ring Nightreign Libra Boss Reveal Gameplay

It’s Hero Time?

As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its release, FromSoftware has unveiled a glimpse of one of its formidable bosses, sparking a wave of recognition among fans. On May 6, IGN showcased new gameplay footage featuring "Libra, Creature of Night," one of the eight Nightlords.

True to FromSoftware's signature challenging gameplay, Libra promises to be a tough adversary with its rapid and devastating attacks. Yet, beyond its combat prowess, fans have been quick to point out Libra's striking visual similarity to a beloved cartoon character.

Comments on YouTube have highlighted Libra's uncanny resemblance to Grey Matter from the popular series Ben 10, particularly due to the large features that resemble eyes but are actually bells hanging from its horns. This amusing comparison was also a topic of discussion on Reddit following the game's reveal trailer in December 2024. Despite the light-hearted comparisons, Libra is poised to be a formidable challenge when Elden Ring Nightreign launches.

Madness!

The gameplay footage revealed that Libra is a madness-inducing boss, capable of inflicting the Madness Status Effect on players, which leads to loss of health and focus points, and can stun them. The video underscores the necessity of team coordination due to Libra's large area-of-effect attacks and unique combat patterns.

Before facing Libra, players have the option to strike a deal with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers boosts in strength, resistance to ailments, or protection from death. Players can also choose to bypass this deal and confront Libra directly. However, the video does not clarify any potential drawbacks or costs associated with making a deal. Intriguingly, it's revealed that the Scale-bearing Merchant is Libra itself, who sheds its disguise to unveil its true form.

As the battle intensifies, Libra unleashes a broader range of devastating moves. Initially, it employs spell-based projectiles and area-of-effect sigils. As damage accumulates, Libra enters a berserk state, escalating the damage from its melee attacks and enhancing the effectiveness of its madness-inducing spells, with wider area-of-effect attacks.

With the release of Elden Ring Nightreign just around the corner, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about the game, emphasizing its innovative multiplayer approach to the Souls series. Recently, they released an overview trailer highlighting the game's lore, gameplay, features, and more.

Elden Ring Nightreign is scheduled to launch on May 30, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned to our updates for the latest news on the game!
