Elden Ring Nightreign's Libra boss reveal has sparked a wave of comparisons to Ben 10's Grey Matter, thanks to the boss's unique appearance. Dive into the details of this amusing resemblance and discover the formidable nature of the goat-like Nightlord, Libra.
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 by IGN on May 6, Libra is one of the 8 Nightlords players will encounter.
True to FromSoftware's reputation, Libra promises a tough battle with its swift and devastating attacks. Yet, it's not just Libra's combat skills that have caught the community's eye. Fans have been quick to point out the boss's striking resemblance to Grey Matter from the popular cartoon series, Ben 10. This comparison stems from Libra's large, bell-like features that hang from its horns, which some mistook for eyes similar to Grey Matter's.
The humorous observation was echoed across platforms, including YouTube comments and Reddit discussions sparked by the game's reveal trailer in December 2024. Despite the light-hearted comparisons, Libra is poised to be a formidable adversary in Elden Ring Nightreign.
The gameplay footage showcases Libra's ability to induce madness in players, inflicting the Madness Status Effect that drains health and focus points while stunning them. The battle emphasizes the need for strategic team coordination, given Libra's wide-ranging area-of-effect attacks and complex attack 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 choose to accept or decline this offer before the battle. Interestingly, the video reveals that the Scale-bearing Merchant is actually Libra in disguise, who then transforms into its true, menacing form.
As the fight intensifies, Libra unleashes a broader range of attacks, from spell-casting projectiles to summoning area-of-effect sigils. When sufficiently damaged, Libra enters a berserk state, increasing the potency of its melee attacks and madness-inducing spells, making the battle even more challenging.
With the release of Elden Ring Nightreign just around the corner, FromSoftware continues to unveil more about the game, highlighting 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 scheduled for release on May 30, 2025, and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates and in-depth coverage by checking out our related articles below!
