Elden Ring Nightreign Testers Discover the Fell Omen Is Back via Morgott Jump-Scare Invasions

Elden Ring's infamous Fell Omen bosses have unleashed their terror upon the Lands Between in the new expansion, Elden Ring Nightreign. Morgott, a formidable foe from the main game, is a prime example. His unpredictable phantom appearances have been faithfully recreated, with an unnamed, enhanced Fell Omen (essentially a supercharged Morgott) springing surprise invasions on players.

Morgott's inclusion isn't just a random choice; it perfectly captures his original ambush style. He even boasts new voice lines and moves, making encounters with him a challenging and exciting experience, especially in co-op. Beyond surprise invasions, he also features as a potential end-of-night boss, culminating in a climactic battle as the in-game sun sets.

Early testers, including the legendary "Let Me Solo Her," have already faced the Fell Omen, with the general consensus being that Morgott is a truly formidable and frustrating opponent. Players on the Elden Ring Nightreign subreddit praised the invasion mechanic, sharing hilarious anecdotes of encounters in elevators, towers, and other unexpected locations.

The success of the Fell Omen invasions has sparked excitement for the potential inclusion of other iconic bosses. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2 is a popular suggestion, along with the thrilling prospect of Bloodborne-inspired Hunter invasions. However, that last one remains a hopeful dream for many.

There's potential for even deeper mechanics surrounding the Fell Omen invasions. GamesRadar reported an invasion where a co-op partner was defeated and seemingly cursed. The full extent of these mechanics remains to be seen.

Despite server issues during the initial network test, many players enjoyed their time in the Lands Between. The full release of Nightreign on May 30th is highly anticipated. Until then, you can read our hands-on impressions of Elden Ring Nightreign [here].
