Conquer Libra, the Goat-Headed Beast in Elden Ring: Nightreign
This guide dives into how to defeat Libra, the challenging "Creature of Night" boss in Elden Ring: Nightreign. Libra, a goat-headed Nightlord, presents a unique fight with a variety of attacks and mechanics.
Preparation is Key: Before facing Libra, focus on rune farming and acquiring powerful weapons. Madness weapons are highly effective, as Libra is vulnerable to madness damage, potentially triggering a frenzy state where it attacks with a staff. However, these weapons are rare, so holy and fire damage are viable alternatives. Remember to prioritize madness resistance gear to mitigate Libra's attacks. Level up to at least level 10, ideally level 12 or higher, and upgrade your flasks for increased survivability.
Understanding Libra's Attacks: Libra employs several dangerous attacks, including a shotgun-like projectile, a madness-inducing rain, and ground-based geysers. The boss also has a meditation ability that buffs its defenses if not interrupted. To counter this, use Wylder or Ironeye's ultimates or destroy the sigils that spawn around Libra.
Team Composition Matters: Your team composition is crucial for an efficient fight. Recommended characters include Ironeye (for interrupting meditation), Wylder (for damage and interruption), Duchess (for damage repetition and status ailments), and Recluse (for madness incantations and healing).
Libra's Deals: Before the fight, Libra offers deals with potential benefits and drawbacks. It's generally recommended to refuse these deals, as the downsides often outweigh the advantages.
Combat Strategy: Stay at close to medium range to effectively kite around the boss.
