The Fell Omen bosses from Elden Ring have become iconic, and their inclusion in Elden Ring Nightreign has thrilled fans. Morgott, a notorious boss from the original game, makes a surprising return in Nightreign, where he can invade players unexpectedly, much like his phantom versions did in Elden Ring. This upgraded version of Morgott, referred to as an unnamed Fell Omen, adds an exciting element of surprise to the gameplay.
Morgott isn't the only boss capable of invading your team in Nightreign, but his inclusion is particularly fitting. His invasions echo his unpredictable appearances in Elden Ring, and he comes equipped with new voice lines and moves to keep players on their toes. With the ability to bring two friends into the fight, it's only fair that Morgott has been given some fresh tricks up his sleeve.
In addition to his invasion mechanic, the Fell Omen can also appear as a challenging end-of-night boss, marking a thrilling conclusion to a session as the sun sets in the Elden Ring Nightreign test.
Early testers, including the renowned player Let Me Solo Her, have faced off against the Fell Omen during the Nightreign sessions. The community's reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising Morgott's invasion mechanic as a standout feature. Players have reported being invaded by Morgott in various unexpected locations, such as elevators and towers, leading to both intense battles and humorous encounters.
The success of the Fell Omen's invasions has sparked interest in seeing other iconic enemies make surprise appearances in Nightreign. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2, for instance, has been suggested as another potential invader. While it might be a long shot, some players even hope to see Hunters from Bloodborne join the fray.
There's speculation about deeper mechanics tied to the Fell Omen's invasions. GamesRadar reported an instance where an invasion resulted in a curse mark being left on a defeated player, hinting at more complex gameplay elements that could be explored further.
Despite some server issues during the first network test, a significant number of players were able to experience Nightreign over the weekend. As anticipation builds, fans eagerly await the full release on May 30. For more insights, be sure to check out our hands-on impressions of Elden Ring Nightreign.
