The reveal of Elden Ring Nightreign's Libra boss has sparked a wave of comparisons among fans, drawing parallels between the formidable Nightlord and a character from the beloved cartoon series, Ben 10.

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 challenging bosses. On May 6, IGN unveiled new gameplay footage spotlighting "Libra, Creature of Night," one of the 8 Nightlords.
Libra embodies the signature difficulty of FromSoftware games, showcasing swift and devastating attacks. Yet, beyond its combat prowess, fans have been quick to point out Libra's striking resemblance to Grey Matter, a character from the popular TV show Ben 10. This comparison stems from Libra's appearance, particularly the large bells on its horns, which some mistook for eyes, reminiscent of Grey Matter's distinctive look.
The humorous comparison sparked discussions on platforms like YouTube and Reddit, where Libra's brief appearance in the December 2024 reveal trailer also caught fans' attention. Despite the light-hearted banter, Libra promises to be a formidable adversary in the game.
Madness!
The gameplay footage revealed that Libra is not just a visually intriguing boss but also a challenging one, capable of inducing the Madness Status Effect. This debilitating condition causes players to lose health and focus points while leaving them stunned, emphasizing the need for strategic team coordination. Libra's arsenal includes large area-of-effect attacks and unique patterns that players must navigate.
Before confronting Libra, players encounter the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers deals that can grant great strength, resistance to ailments, or the ability to hold death at bay. Players can choose to accept or decline these offers, though the video does not clarify any potential drawbacks. Interestingly, the Scale-bearing Merchant transforms into Libra, shedding its skin to reveal its true form.
As the battle with Libra unfolds, the Nightlord unleashes an increasingly dangerous set of moves. Initially casting spells and summoning area-of-effect sigils, Libra becomes more aggressive and damaging as the fight progresses. Its melee attacks intensify, and its madness-inducing spells grow more potent, making Libra a truly formidable foe.
With the release of Elden Ring Nightreign just around the corner on May 30, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about the game. The recent overview trailer has provided insights into the game's lore, gameplay, and features, setting the stage for a unique multiplayer experience in the Souls series.
