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

Elden Ring's infamous Fell Omen bosses have unleashed their terror upon the Lands Between in the new Elden Ring Nightreign expansion. Morgott, a formidable foe from the main game, makes a particularly noteworthy appearance. His phantom-like invasions, a hallmark of his original encounter, are recreated in Nightreign, with an enhanced, unnamed Fell Omen (essentially a supercharged Morgott) springing surprise attacks on players. This isn't just a simple reskin; Morgott boasts new voice lines and moves, making him a truly challenging opponent, especially in co-op.

Beyond surprise invasions, Morgott can also appear as a climactic end-of-night boss in Nightreign's testing grounds, providing a thrilling conclusion to each session.

Early testers, including the legendary "Let Me Solo Her," have already faced off against the Fell Omen, with widespread agreement that Morgott is a truly relentless adversary. His invasion mechanic has been praised, with players sharing anecdotes of his unexpected appearances—from elevators to towers, Morgott is everywhere, often with hilarious results.

The success of the Fell Omen invasions has sparked excitement for potential appearances from other beloved (or dreaded) bosses. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2 is a popular suggestion, and many players are hoping for Bloodborne-inspired Hunter invasions, though this remains a long shot.

There's even speculation of deeper mechanics at play. GamesRadar reported an invasion that not only defeated a co-op partner but also seemed to leave behind a lingering curse. The full extent of these mechanics remains to be seen.

Despite server issues affecting the initial network test, many players experienced Nightreign's unique challenges over the weekend. The full release on May 30th is highly anticipated. For now, be sure to check out our hands-on impressions of Elden Ring Nightreign [ttpp].
