The Fell Omen bosses in Elden Ring have become legendary, and it's thrilling to see FromSoftware bring them back in Elden Ring Nightreign, unleashing them once more upon the Lands Between. Morgott, a notorious adversary from the original game, continues to haunt players with his phantom versions popping up unexpectedly during the campaign. This element of surprise has been seamlessly integrated into Nightreign, where an enhanced version of Morgott, referred to as the unnamed Fell Omen, can suddenly invade players, adding an exhilarating layer of unpredictability to the gameplay.
Morgott isn't the only boss capable of invading your party as you traverse Nightreign, yet his inclusion is particularly apt. His surprise appearances echo his role in Elden Ring, and in Nightreign, he's equipped with new voice lines and additional moves, ensuring that even with two friends by your side, the challenge remains formidable.
Moreover, the Fell Omen can also serve as an end-of-night boss, marking one of the final confrontations you might encounter as the day ends in the Elden Ring Nightreign test. This dual role enhances the dynamic nature of the game, keeping players on their toes.
Early testers, including the renowned player Let Me Solo Her, have already faced off against the Fell Omen during the weekend sessions of Elden Ring Nightreign. The community's feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising Morgott's invasion mechanics as one of their favorite aspects. Discussions on the Elden Ring Nightreign subreddit reveal players sharing their experiences of being invaded by Morgott in various settings—from elevators to towers—resulting in some amusing and memorable encounters.
The sudden invasions by the Fell Omen have sparked excitement about the potential for other iconic enemies to make surprise appearances. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2 is often mentioned as a fitting candidate, while some fans dream of seeing Hunters from Bloodborne, though this seems less likely.
There's speculation about deeper mechanics tied to the Fell Omen invasions, with GamesRadar reporting an instance where an Omen invasion resulted in a co-op partner being taken down and marked with a curse. As more players get hands-on with the game, these mechanics will likely be explored further.
Despite server issues during the first network test, a significant number of players managed to dive into the Lands Between over the weekend. As we await the full release on May 30, the anticipation for how Elden Ring Nightreign will evolve continues to build.
