Elden Ring Nightreign’s Libra boss reveal gameplay video has sparked a wave of comparisons among fans, drawing a striking resemblance to Ben 10’s Grey Matter. Dive deeper into this intriguing parallel and explore the formidable nature of the goat-like Nightlord, Libra.
As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its eagerly anticipated release date, 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.
True to FromSoftware's style, Libra promises a challenging encounter with its swift, devastating attacks. Yet, beyond its combat skills, fans couldn't help but notice Libra’s striking appearance.
On YouTube, viewers pointed out an uncanny resemblance between Libra and Grey Matter from the beloved cartoon series, Ben 10. The comparison stems from Libra's large, bell-shaped adornments on its horns, which fans mistook for eyes akin to Grey Matter’s. This amusing observation was also a hot topic on Reddit when Libra made a brief appearance in the game’s reveal trailer back in December 2024. Despite the humorous comparisons, Libra is poised to be a formidable adversary in the game.
The gameplay footage reveals Libra as a boss that induces madness, afflicting players with the Madness Status Effect, causing health and focus point loss along with stunning them. The video emphasizes the necessity of team coordination due to Libra's large area-of-effect attacks and distinctive attack patterns.
Before facing Libra, players have the option to strike a deal with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers enhanced strength, ailment resistance, or protection against death. Players can also choose to forego this deal and challenge the boss directly. However, the video leaves the potential consequences of this deal ambiguous. It's later revealed that the Scale-bearing Merchant is Libra itself, who sheds its disguise to unveil its true, menacing form.
As the battle unfolds, Libra unleashes an increasingly dangerous array of attacks. It begins with casting spells as projectiles and summoning area-of-effect sigils across the battlefield. When sufficiently damaged, Libra enters a berserk state, intensifying its melee attacks and enhancing the potency of its madness-inducing spells, while expanding the reach of its area-of-effect attacks.
With the release of Elden Ring Nightreign just around the corner, FromSoftware continues to tease fans with more details, promising a unique multiplayer experience in their latest addition to the Souls series. The recent overview trailer showcased the game’s rich lore, engaging gameplay, and innovative features.
Elden Ring Nightreign is set to launch on May 30, 2025, and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay updated with the latest news and developments by checking out our detailed article below!
