Elden Ring Nightreign: 'Libra' Boss Reveal Gameplay – IGN First

Elden Ring Nightreign has been unveiled as IGN’s cover story for May, and the excitement is well-earned. Our team spent two full days inside From Software's Tokyo headquarters, where we gathered a wealth of exclusive details, in-depth interviews, hands-on impressions, and more to share with fans.

To start things off, we’re thrilled to exclusively reveal one of the eight formidable Nightlords you’ll encounter at the climax of your journey in Nightreign—meet Libra: Creature of Night. This chilling boss brings a unique and mentally taxing battle experience, featuring a core mechanic that challenges players right from the beginning: a crucial decision that impacts how the fight unfolds. At the start of the encounter, you are given the option to strike a deal with Libra, potentially gaining powerful benefits such as increased strength, enhanced elemental resistance, or even access to an incredibly potent weapon.

However, every advantage comes at a cost. The exact penalty for your choice remains unknown until after you accept the deal, and the greater the benefit, the harsher the consequence. It’s a high-risk, high-reward system that adds a layer of psychological tension rarely seen in boss fights.
