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

Elden Ring's Nightreign DLC unleashes the dreaded Fell Omen bosses upon the Lands Between, creating thrilling and unexpected encounters. Morgott, a formidable antagonist from the main game, makes a particularly noteworthy return. His surprise invasions, mirroring his unpredictable appearances in the base game, are enhanced with new voice lines and attacks, providing a challenging experience, especially in co-op.

Morgott's presence isn't limited to invasions; he also appears as a potential end-of-night boss, adding another layer of strategic depth to the gameplay. Early testers have overwhelmingly praised Morgott's inclusion, highlighting his invasion mechanic as a standout feature. His appearances, whether during an elevator ride, atop a tower, or as a final boss, promise unpredictable and often humorous encounters.

The success of Morgott's invasion has sparked speculation about other potential invaders. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2, and even Bloodborne Hunters, are fan-favorite suggestions, though the latter remains a less likely possibility. Some invasions even seem to inflict a curse on slain players, hinting at deeper, yet-to-be-discovered mechanics.

Despite server issues during the initial network test, the weekend's playtesting provided ample opportunity to experience Nightreign's unique features. While the full release is set for May 30th, the early impressions are overwhelmingly positive, promising a significant and exciting addition to the Elden Ring experience.

A poll asking which Dark Souls bosses should be included in Nightreign showcases the community's enthusiasm and offers a range of suggestions, including Ornstein and Smough, Artorias the Abysswalker, and various others from Dark Souls 2 and 3. The anticipation for the full release is high, fueled by the thrilling and unpredictable nature of the Fell Omen invasions.
