Elden Ring Nightreign Patch: Madness Weapons Are Less Rare
Let’s get straight to the point—madness weapons are no longer as elusive as before. If you’ve spent hours farming camps hoping for something other than yellow boluses, this change will make your runs a lot less frustrating. While the boluses help you survive Libra’s relentless attacks, they’re not enough on their own. The new patch finally gives players a better shot at getting those rare madness drops, which is a big deal for anyone gearing up for the Libra fight.
Libra: A Boss That’s Weak to Madness, But Hard to Prepare For
Libra isn’t just any boss—he’s a Nightlord that actually has a weakness to madness attacks. The problem? Most players go in without any madness gear at all, making the fight way harder than it needs to be. According to Steam achievement stats, Libra is one of the most challenging Nightlords, largely because the right gear is so hard to find.
Personally, I’ve spent over 20 hours battling Libra, and I’ve barely managed to use madness weapons at all. Sometimes, the only reason I got one was because Libra himself offered it in a deal at the start of the fight. Seeing Libra actually go into a frenzy—where he stops using his strongest weapons—is so rare, it’s almost a myth!
Other Changes: Quality-of-Life Fixes
Beyond the improved drop rates, the update brings a handful of bug fixes to the table. One notable fix addresses a bug where the game would declare your team defeated if all three teammates were down, even if one was mid-revival. Anyone who’s lost a close fight to this glitch knows how frustrating it can be—nothing like thinking you’ve won, only to be told you lost at the last second!
Ready to Take on Libra?
With these changes, facing Libra should finally feel fair. If you’ve been holding off on the fight, now’s a great time to jump back in and see if the new drop rates make a difference. Good luck, Tarnished!
