Elden Ring Nightreign's Libra boss has caught the attention of fans, not just for its challenging gameplay but also for its striking resemblance to Ben 10's Grey Matter. Dive in to explore this amusing comparison and the formidable nature of the goat-like Nightlord.
As Elden Ring Nightreign approaches its eagerly awaited release, FromSoftware teased fans with new gameplay footage of one of its bosses, Libra, also known as "Creature of Night." Unveiled on May 6 by IGN, Libra is one of the eight Nightlords players will encounter.
Libra upholds the high standards of difficulty set by FromSoftware, boasting devastating attacks and swift movements. Yet, it's not just Libra's combat skills that have caught the community's eye. Fans have noted a humorous resemblance between Libra and Grey Matter from the popular cartoon series Ben 10, primarily due to what seemed like oversized eyes on Libra. However, those "eyes" are actually bells hanging from his horns.
This amusing comparison sparked discussions on platforms like YouTube and Reddit, especially after Libra's brief appearance in the game's reveal trailer in December 2024. Despite the light-hearted comparisons, Libra is set to be a formidable foe when Elden Ring Nightreign launches.
The gameplay footage showcased Libra's ability to induce madness in players, inflicting the Madness Status Effect that leads to the loss of health and focus points, as well as stunning them. Libra's large area-of-effect attacks and unique patterns emphasize the importance of team coordination in this battle.
Before facing Libra, players can interact with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers boosts such as great strength, resistance to ailments, or a chance to hold death at bay. Players can choose to accept or decline these offers. Interestingly, the video reveals that the Scale-bearing Merchant is actually Libra in disguise, who sheds his skin to unveil his true form before the fight begins.
As the battle progresses, Libra unleashes a wider range of devastating moves. Initially casting spells and summoning AoE sigils, Libra intensifies his attacks as he takes damage, going berserk with powerful melee strikes. His madness-inducing spells grow more potent, and his area-of-effect attacks expand, making him an increasingly dangerous adversary.
With the game's release just around the corner, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about Elden Ring Nightreign, emphasizing its innovative multiplayer approach to the Souls series. The recent overview trailer provided insights into the game's lore, gameplay mechanics, and features.
Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for release on May 30, 2025, across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Keep an eye on our updates for the latest news and details on this highly anticipated title!
