The reveal of the Elden Ring Nightreign's Libra boss in a new gameplay video has sparked a humorous comparison among fans, noting a striking resemblance to Ben 10's Grey Matter. Dive deeper to explore this amusing connection and 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 has treated fans to a glimpse of one of its challenging bosses, Libra, the "Creature of Night." Unveiled in new gameplay footage released by IGN on May 6, Libra showcases the signature FromSoftware difficulty with its swift and devastating attacks. Yet, it's not just Libra's combat skills that have captured the community's attention.

Fan discussions on YouTube and Reddit have highlighted Libra's uncanny similarity to Grey Matter from the beloved animated series, Ben 10. This comparison stems from Libra's appearance, which some mistakenly identified as having large eyes similar to Grey Matter, though these are actually bells hanging from its horns. This amusing observation was first noted during the game's reveal trailer in December 2024, where Libra made a brief appearance. Despite the light-hearted comparisons, Libra promises to be a formidable adversary when Elden Ring Nightreign launches.

Madness!

The gameplay footage revealed that Libra is a boss that induces madness, imposing the Madness Status Effect on players. This effect leads to loss of health and focus points, and can stun players, emphasizing the need for strategic team coordination. Libra's large area-of-effect attacks and unique combat patterns make it a daunting challenge.

Before engaging Libra, players have the option to negotiate with the Scale-bearing Merchant, who offers boosts to strength, resistance against ailments, or a temporary reprieve from death. Players can also choose to forgo this deal and confront Libra directly. Interestingly, the video does not clarify any potential drawbacks of this deal. Upon making a decision, it's revealed that the Scale-bearing Merchant is none other than Libra, who then transforms into its true, menacing form.

As the battle unfolds, Libra's tactics evolve, becoming more aggressive and dangerous. Initially, Libra employs spells and summons area-of-effect sigils. When sufficiently damaged, it enters a berserk state, unleashing devastating melee attacks and amplifying the potency of its madness-inducing spells and expanding its area-of-effect capabilities.

With the release of Elden Ring Nightreign just around the corner, FromSoftware continues to build anticipation by revealing more about the game. The recent overview trailer not only showcased the game's lore and features but also emphasized the innovative multiplayer approach to the Souls series.

Elden Ring Nightreign is scheduled to launch on May 30, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates and insights by checking out our article below!
