How To Get Madness Weapons in Elden Ring Nightreign

By Daniel Hidalgo | 2025-06-04 08:41:00
If you're struggling against the Equilibrious Beast Nightlord in Elden Ring Nightreign, securing Madness-affinity weapons can give you a major advantage. These weapons exploit the boss’s elemental weakness, making the fight significantly easier.
In this guide, we’ll cover:✔ How to identify the Equilibrious Beast’s weakness
Where to find Madness-infused weapons & spells
Why Madness affinity is crucial for defeating Libra
Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Check the Nightlord’s Weakness


Before heading into battle, always check the Expedition Menu where the Nightlord’s avatar appears. A small affinity icon next to it reveals its elemental vulnerability—in this case, Madness.
Equipping weapons or spells with this affinity will:✅ Deal bonus damage to the boss
Disrupt its dangerous attack patterns
✅ Make the fight more manageable for your party

Step 2: Locate Madness Weapons in Nightreign


Madness-based gear is rare but worth hunting down. Here’s how to find them:

1. Scout the Map for Affinity Icons


  • Open your map and zoom in on major locations.
  • Look for small Madness-affinity symbols in the bottom-right corner of Points of Interest (POIs).
  • These indicate high chances of finding Madness-infused weapons or spells.

2. Defeat the Field Boss & Loot the Area


Once you find a Madness-marked location:

Mark it and travel there with your party.
Defeat enemies and the field boss guarding the area.
✔ The boss often drops Madness weapons or spells.

3. Search Every Loot Source


Don’t just rely on boss drops—check:

  • Chests
  • Breakable objects (crates, barrels)
  • Hidden loot spots


Securing a Madness weapon early ensures you’re prepared before facing the Nightlord.

Step 3: How Madness Affinity Helps Against Libra


Libra, the Creature of the Night, uses Madness-based attacks—yet ironically, it’s weak to Madness damage. Here’s why this matters:

1. Disrupts Madness Spells


Attacking Libra with Madness weapons:
Reduces its ability to cast debilitating Madness spells.
✔ Forces it into a frenzied state, making its attacks more predictable.

2. Easier Boss Management


Since Madness spells are the biggest threat in this fight, minimizing them makes the battle far less chaotic. Instead of constant AoE madness attacks, Libra will resort to melee strikes, which are easier to dodge.

Final Tips for Beating the Equilibrious Beast


  • Prioritize finding Madness weapons early—they make the fight much smoother.
  • Coordinate with your team to maximize damage and survivability.
  • Survive two nights after securing your gear to reach the Nightlord.


With the right preparation, Libra’s Madness weakness turns a brutal fight into a manageable challenge.
