Libra, Creature of Night, also called Equilibrious Beast, is a boss in Elden Ring: Nightreign and one of the Nightlords.

Overview

When players enter the boss arena, Libra greets them as the Scale-Bearing Merchant, and offers a small selection of deals that the player can choose from.

Wish	Effect
I wish to have great strength	Raises Strength in exchange for all other stats
I wish to have great dexterity	Raises Dexterity in exchange for all other stats
I wish to expand my intellect	Raises Intelligence in exchange for all other stats
I wish to have deep faith	Raises Faith in exchange for all other stats
I wish to be in touch with the arcane	Raises Arcane in exchange for all other stats
I want resistance to ailments	Increases Resistances to all ailments by 150, but lose 10% Stamina
I want to hold death at bay	Lose 20% max HP. When HP drops to 20% or lower, immediately heal back to 100% HP, once per battle. Does not trigger against damage that is lethal from above 20% HP.
I desire a flask	Adds a Flask Charge but lose 10% max HP
I desire a powerful weapon	Lose 2 levels but randomly get one of the following weapons. Passive effects are determined randomly. Vyke's War Spear Black Knife Erdtree Bow Frenzied Flame Seal Fingerprint Stone Shield Miquellan Knight's Sword Ordovis's Greatsword Halo Scythe
I want to gain many levels	Gain 3 levels but lose 1 every time the healing Flask is used
I wish for eventual greatness	Take a -30% HP, FP, and Stamina debuff for 120 seconds. After that debuff expires, gain a +20% HP, FP, and Stamina buff permanently. These effects are void if brought near-death.
I want the power of a demon	Grants an Eye that intermittently shoots enemies for small amount of damage and Madness buildup, or occasionally grants a 10% attack boost for 10 seconds. It builds up Madness whenever it appears.
I wish to fight at full strength	Starts the player with an +25% HP and +10% damage for 60 seconds, but Libra also starts the fight with his meditation buff active, on top of a +10% damage negation buff for 100 seconds.
I refuse to make a deal	Nothing interesting happens.

Once any player interacts with him, a 60-second timer appears over his forehead. If the timer lapses before all teammates have made their choice, the fight begins.

Libra can be attacked in this state, and if struck enough times, the boss fight begins immediately, terminating any unfinished dialogue with all other players.

Strategy

Deals

"I desire a powerful weapon" often gives a rare weapon that bestows a great advantage in the fight, either as a source of Madness infliction or by dealing fire or holy damage which he is more vulnerable to. This can be a viable choice for players at level 14 or 15, where the 2-level penalty has a smaller impact.
"I want resistance to ailments" trades a small amount of Stamina for a palpable 150 bonus to all resistances, which greatly staves off the Madness infliction that will be happening regularly throughout the fight.
"I desire a flask" gives an extra Flask charge and can be a reasonable choice in situations where healing supplies are low.
If all other choices are undesirable, refusing to make a deal is always an option.

Boss Fight

If any combatant succumbs to Madness, Libra gains an attack buff. This includes when his concentration is broken.
If Madness is inflicted on Libra, he goes berserk and lunges repeatedly at a player before triggering a Madness explosion. This repeats for two to three cycles before he returns to his normal attack pattern.
Watch what Libra is doing with his hand. If he generates a yellow sigil on the ground, Dodge when he clenches his fist, as that is when the sigil will detonate. The sigils are large enough that running out of their radius is unfeasible.
Libra's madness-inducing attacks regularly leave behind yellow gems on the ground. Pick them up to reduce Madness buildup.
When Libra begins meditating, break his meditation by running through or attacking the floating sigils that appear around him. Each subsequent time he begins meditating during the fight, more sigils are generated. If he completes his meditation, he gains a buff where he is coated in gold and his spellcasting becomes deadlier.
- Breaking his meditation inflicts Madness on him.
- The Wylder's Onslaught Stake or a fully charged Raider's Retaliate can instead immediately break his concentration.
- The Ironeye's Single Shot also does a wide enough area-of-effect attack that destroys all the sigils at once.

Field Event

On occasion, Libra can be found on the map as the Scale-Bearing Merchant. Interacting with him will allow the player to choose to receive one of his deals if they so desire.

Wish	Effect
I wish to have great strength	Raises Strength in exchange for all other stats
I wish to have great dexterity	Raises Dexterity in exchange for all other stats
I wish to expand my intellect	Raises Intelligence in exchange for all other stats
I wish to have deep faith	Raises Faith in exchange for all other stats
I wish to be in touch with the arcane	Raises Arcane in exchange for all other stats
I want resistance to ailments	Increases Resistances to all ailments by 150, but lose 10% Stamina
I want to hold death at bay	Lose 20% max HP. When HP drops to 20% or lower, immediately heal back to 100% HP, once per battle. Does not trigger against damage that is lethal from above 20% HP.
I desire a flask	Adds a Flask Charge but lose 10% max HP
I desire a powerful weapon	Lose 2 levels but randomly get one of the following weapons. Passive effects are determined randomly. Vyke's War Spear Black Knife Erdtree Bow Frenzied Flame Seal Fingerprint Stone Shield Miquellan Knight's Sword Ordovis's Greatsword Halo Scythe
I wish for eventual greatness	Take a -30% HP, FP, and Stamina debuff that lasts until the night boss is defeated. After that debuff expires, gain a +20% HP, FP, and Stamina buff permanently. If the player is brought near-death before the end of the night, all effects of this deal are void, including the debuff.
I want the power of a demon	Grants an Eye that intermittently shoots enemies for small amount of damage and Madness buildup, or occasionally grants a 10% attack boost for 10 seconds. It builds up Madness whenever it appears.
I want a lot of runes	Pay 10000 Runes to receive a Symbol of Avarice talisman.
I want to break the curse of blood	Pay 2000 Runes to receive a Purifying Crystal Tear . Only appears in DLC expeditions.

Expedition Raid

Libra can raid the expedition where his visage flashes on all players' screens and the entire team is cursed with -30% max HP. His location will then be indicated with a translucent red circle. When found and interacted with, he will demand payment (15000 Runes on day 1 and 35000 Runes on day 2) to undo the curse and complete the raid, granting the Demon's Plating buff to the entire team for the rest of the run. Only one player needs to make payment.

After Libra is paid off, he can also be talked to for an improved set of deals that have no cost.

Take resistance to status ailments - Gain +150 resistance to all status ailments without any Stamina cost
Take sacred flask - Adds a Flask Charge without any HP cost
Take enhanced armament - Gain one of the following weapons without any level cost. Passive effects are determined randomly.
Take improved physique - Gain +20% HP, FP, and Stamina after defeating the night boss. If brought near-death before that point, the player loses this eventual boon.
Take extra runes - Places a Symbol of Avarice into a talisman slot for free.

Attacking Libra will cause him to fight back as a field boss and terminate any unfinished dialogue with all other players. Defeating him also undoes the curse and completes the raid, and Libra will drop a random talisman and yield 20,000 Runes as a reward.

Notes

While shrouded (when it tries to bargain):
- Libra is immune to all status ailments.
- The damage done to its shrouded form is reset when he transforms, which means that Libra will always start any boss fight at full HP.
