IGN has released new gameplay from Elden Ring: Nightreign, showing off a battle against one of the game’s eight final bosses — Libra, the Creature of the Night.

But this isn't your usual boss fight. Before the battle even begins, Libra makes an offer. Players can accept a deal that gives them powerful buffs like boosted strength, better elemental resistance, or even a deadly new weapon. Sounds great, right? The catch? You have no idea what the trade-off is until after you accept it. Creepy.

IGN reporters said they spent a full day at the FromSoftware studio trying to beat this boss — and failed. It wasn’t until the next day, after coming up with a solid strategy and prepping better, that they finally managed to win the fight. So yeah, Libra is no joke.

Elden Ring: Nightreign launches on May 30, 2025, and will be available on PC, as well as both PlayStation and Xbox consoles from the latest two generations.
