The notorious Fell Omen bosses from Elden Ring have made a thrilling return in Elden Ring Nightreign, where FromSoftware has unleashed them across the Lands Between. One of the most memorable bosses, Morgott, known for his surprise appearances in the original game, has evolved into an even more formidable foe in Nightreign. As an unnamed Fell Omen—essentially an upgraded version of Morgott—he can now jump-scare invade players, adding a layer of unpredictability and excitement to the gameplay.
Morgott isn't the only boss capable of invading your squad in Nightreign, but his inclusion is particularly apt. His invasions align well with his sudden appearances in the original Elden Ring, and he comes equipped with new voice lines and additional moves to challenge players. This upgrade seems only fair, especially when you can bring two friends into the fray.
Beyond invasions, the Fell Omen can also appear as an end-of-night boss, marking one of the climactic encounters as the sun sets during the Elden Ring Nightreign test.
Early testers, including the renowned player "Let Me Solo Her," have taken on the Fell Omen during the weekend sessions of Elden Ring Nightreign. The community's consensus? Morgott, also known as Margit or the Fell Omen, continues to be a formidable adversary. Players on the Elden Ring Nightreign subreddit have praised Morgott's invasion mechanic as a favorite feature, sharing their experiences of being ambushed in various locations—from elevators to towers—often with humorous outcomes.
The sudden invasions by the Fell Omen have sparked enthusiasm for similar mechanics with other iconic enemies. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2 is a popular suggestion among fans, and some dream of seeing Hunters from Bloodborne make an appearance, though this remains a distant hope.
There are hints of even deeper mechanics surrounding Fell Omen invasions. GamesRadar reported an incident where a Fell Omen invasion resulted in a co-op partner's defeat, leaving behind a mysterious curse mark. As more players dive into Nightreign, these mechanics are likely to evolve and enrich the gameplay further.
Despite some server issues during the first network test, many players managed to explore the Lands Between over the weekend. While we await the full release on May 30, stay tuned for more hands-on impressions of Elden Ring Nightreign.
