The notorious Fell Omen bosses from Elden Ring have made a thrilling return in Elden Ring Nightreign, delighting and challenging players across the Lands Between. Among these formidable foes, Morgott stands out as a fan favorite, known for his unexpected appearances in the original game. In Nightreign, Morgott's legacy continues with an unnamed Fell Omen, an enhanced version of the boss, capable of jump-scare invasions that keep players on their toes.
Morgott's ability to invade players isn't his only trick in Nightreign; he also appears as an end-of-night boss, adding a climactic challenge to sessions as the sun sets. This dual role enhances the game's dynamic and unpredictable nature, making each encounter with Morgott or his upgraded counterpart a memorable event.
The community's reaction to Morgott's invasions has been overwhelmingly positive. Early testers, including renowned players like Let Me Solo Her, have shared their experiences across social platforms and forums. One player on the Elden Ring Nightreign subreddit praised Morgott's invasion mechanic as a highlight of the game, while others recounted their encounters in various locations, from elevators to towers, showcasing the boss's versatility and the humorous situations that can arise from these sudden appearances.
The excitement around Morgott's invasions has sparked discussions about other potential invaders from the Souls series. Fans have expressed interest in seeing iconic enemies like the Pursuer from Dark Souls 2 or even Hunters from Bloodborne, though the latter seems less likely. The idea of other classic bosses making surprise appearances in Nightreign has fans eagerly anticipating what other surprises FromSoftware might have in store.
Further intrigue surrounds the mechanics of these invasions. GamesRadar reported an instance where the Fell Omen not only defeated a co-op partner but also left a curse mark on the fallen player, hinting at deeper gameplay elements that could develop as more players explore Nightreign.
Despite server issues during the initial network test, the weekend saw a significant number of players engaging with the game. As the full release approaches on May 30, anticipation continues to build. In the meantime, players can delve into our hands-on impressions of Elden Ring Nightreign for more insights into what this expansion has to offer.
