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

Elden Ring's infamous Fell Omen bosses have invaded the Lands Between once more, this time in Elden Ring: Nightreign. Morgott, a formidable foe from the main game, makes a surprising return. His phantom appearances in the original game are recreated here, with an unnamed, upgraded Fell Omen (essentially a more powerful Morgott) springing unexpected jump-scare invasions on players.

Morgott's inclusion isn't just a random choice; it's thematically fitting. His penchant for surprise attacks in the main game carries over, enhanced with new voice lines and moves. Facing him with friends? Expect a challenging fight with his upgraded moveset. Beyond invasions, the Fell Omen also appears as a challenging end-of-night boss, a climactic encounter as the sun sets in the Nightreign test.

Early testers, including the renowned "Let Me Solo Her," have already faced the Fell Omen. The consensus? Morgott, Margit, and the Fell Omen are incredibly challenging. Players on the Elden Ring Nightreign subreddit lauded Morgott's invasion mechanic as a favorite feature, sharing tales of unexpected encounters—from elevator ambushes to tower sieges. The unpredictable nature of his appearances adds a thrilling element to gameplay.

The success of the Fell Omen invasions has sparked excitement for future additions. Suggestions range from the Pursuer (Dark Souls 2) to Bloodborne Hunters. The possibilities are endless.

The Fell Omen invasions might also feature deeper mechanics. GamesRadar reported an invasion that not only defeated a co-op partner but seemingly left a curse mark on the fallen player. This hints at potentially intriguing consequences and adds a layer of depth to the gameplay.

Despite server issues during the initial network test, numerous players participated in the weekend sessions. While the full experience awaits us until May 30th, early impressions are overwhelmingly positive.
