The Fell Omen bosses have become a hallmark of Elden Ring, and their inclusion in Elden Ring Nightreign adds an exciting layer to the gameplay experience. Morgott, a notorious boss from the original game, has been given a new lease on life in Nightreign as an unnamed Fell Omen with enhanced capabilities. This upgraded version can suddenly invade players, reminiscent of Morgott's unexpected phantom appearances in Elden Ring. This surprise mechanic not only aligns with Morgott's established behavior but also comes with new voice lines and moves, making him an even more formidable opponent. When teamed up with friends, players will find that Morgott's new tricks level the playing field in thrilling ways.
In addition to his invasion capabilities, the Fell Omen can also serve as a formidable end-of-night boss in Elden Ring Nightreign, providing a challenging conclusion to the day's battles as the sun sets.
Early testers, including the renowned player Let Me Solo Her, have engaged with the Fell Omen during the Nightreign sessions. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many players enjoying the invasion mechanic. Discussions on the Elden Ring Nightreign subreddit highlight Morgott's ability to appear in various settings, from elevators to towers, adding a layer of unpredictability and humor to the game.
The success of the Fell Omen invasions has sparked interest in seeing other iconic enemies from the Dark Souls series make their mark in Nightreign. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2 is a popular suggestion, while some fans dream of seeing Hunters from Bloodborne, though this remains a distant hope.
GamesRadar reported on a unique invasion where the Fell Omen not only defeated a co-op partner but also left a curse mark, hinting at deeper mechanics that could be explored as the game develops. Despite server issues during the first network test, a significant number of players were able to experience Nightreign over the weekend.
The full potential of Elden Ring Nightreign will be revealed on May 30, but until then, stay tuned for more hands-on impressions and updates on this thrilling expansion.
