The Fell Omen bosses from Elden Ring have become iconic, and it's thrilling to see them return in Elden Ring Nightreign, where FromSoftware unleashes them once again across the Lands Between. Morgott, a formidable adversary from the original game, continues to haunt players in Nightreign. Known for his surprise appearances in Elden Ring, Morgott's ghostly presence now manifests as an upgraded Fell Omen, capable of startling invasions throughout the campaign.
Morgott isn't the only boss to invade players in Nightreign, but his inclusion is particularly apt. Not only does it echo his unpredictable encounters in Elden Ring, but he also brings new voice lines and additional moves to the fray. It's a fair trade when players can bring friends into the fight—Morgott deserves a few new tricks up his sleeve.
In addition to his invasive tactics, the Fell Omen can also serve as a climactic end-of-night boss, challenging players as the sun sets during the Elden Ring Nightreign test. The community's reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with early testers like Let Me Solo Her engaging with Morgott during the weekend sessions. Players have expressed their admiration for the invasion mechanic, sharing stories of encounters in various settings, from elevators to towers, highlighting the unpredictable nature of Morgott's appearances.
The excitement around these invasions has sparked discussions about other potential invaders from the Dark Souls series. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2, for instance, is a popular suggestion, while some fans dream of seeing Bloodborne's Hunters make an appearance, though this seems less likely.
There's also speculation about deeper mechanics tied to the Fell Omen's invasions. Reports from GamesRadar suggest that Morgott's attacks can leave a curse mark on defeated players, adding an intriguing layer to the gameplay. As more players get their hands on Nightreign, these mechanics will likely be explored further.
Despite server issues during the first network test, many players still managed to dive into the Lands Between over the weekend. The full release of Nightreign is eagerly anticipated on May 30, and until then, you can check out our hands-on impressions of Elden Ring Nightreign for more insights.
