Elden Ring Nightreign Update Improves Madness Weapon Drop Rates
▼ Summary
– Preparing for Elden Ring Nightreign requires leveling up and collecting gear targeting a Nightlord’s weakness, which is straightforward unless pursuing Libra.
– Madness weapons are rare, making it difficult to obtain useful gear against Libra, though drop rates improved with a recent patch.
– Libra is a madness boss weak to madness attacks, yet remains one of the hardest Nightlords to beat due to players often lacking madness weapons.
– Many players fight Libra without proper gear, making the battle unnecessarily difficult, as madness-resistant equipment is also scarce in Nightreign.
– The author struggled with the Libra fight for 20 hours, rarely using madness weapons, and never saw Libra succumb to frenzy, which disables his powerful attacks.
Preparing for battle in Elden Ring Nightreign just got easier with the latest update improving madness weapon drop rates. These rare but powerful tools are essential when facing Libra, one of the game’s toughest Nightlords. Previously, players often struggled through this encounter without proper gear, making an already difficult fight nearly impossible. The recent patch aims to level the playing field by increasing access to these crucial weapons.
Libra presents a unique challenge, while he specializes in madness attacks, he’s also vulnerable to them. This ironic weakness means madness weapons serve both offensive and defensive purposes during the battle. Steam achievement data confirms what many players already know: Libra ranks among the most formidable bosses in Nightreign. The scarcity of madness gear contributed significantly to these statistics, forcing players to attempt the fight at a severe disadvantage.
For those who’ve spent hours grinding against this goat deity, the update brings welcome relief. Many players report never seeing Libra enter his vulnerable frenzy state simply because they lacked the tools to trigger it. The improved drop rates mean more opportunities to exploit this mechanic, potentially turning the tide of battle. Now the real challenge might be convincing party members to pause their assault long enough to consider Libra’s tempting, if dangerous, pre-fight bargains.
