Elden Ring Players Find Sneaky Way to Bargain with Demons

In Elden Ring Nightreign, players have discovered a unique interaction with the demonic merchant, Libra, that allows them to turn the negative effects of dealing with him into a beneficial bargain. For a price of either 15,000 or 35,000 runes, players can lift the curse placed by Libra, which typically blocks a portion of their maximum health. Interestingly, after paying off this curse, players can interact with Libra again to receive a free buff without incurring any of the usual downsides. This tactic offers an advantageous way to access valuable buffs, making it an attractive option for gamers looking to improve their performance against challenging Nightlords. However, this opportunity only arises under specific conditions when Libra spawns as a cursed merchant.

To gain buffs from Libra, you need to encounter him under a specific cursed event, where you can pay 15,000 or 35,000 runes to lift the curse blocking your maximum health. After paying, you can speak to him again to receive a free buff without any adverse effects.

Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware and released in early 2022, has captivated players with its expansive open world and deep lore. The game continues to receive updates and additional content, including the Nightreign expansion, which introduces new mechanics and challenges. The intricate systems involving curse mechanics, merchant interactions, and strategic gameplay are a hallmark of the Elden Ring experience, enhancing its appeal among the gaming community.
