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

Elden Ring's infamous Fell Omen bosses have been unleashed upon the Lands Between in the new expansion, Elden Ring: Nightreign. Morgott, a formidable foe from the main game, makes a surprising return, appearing as an unpredictable invader, leaping out to ambush players throughout their journey. This echoes his original surprise appearances in the main game, but with Nightreign, he's received a significant upgrade, boasting new moves and voice lines—a fitting challenge for those brave enough to tackle him with friends.

Beyond his surprise invasions, Morgott also features as a challenging end-of-night boss, one of the climactic encounters awaiting players as the sun sets in the Nightreign test. Early testers, including the legendary "Let Me Solo Her," have already faced this enhanced Morgott, with the general consensus being that he's a truly formidable opponent.

Morgott's invasion mechanic has been praised by players, with many sharing their encounters on the Elden Ring Nightreign subreddit. Whether ambushing players on elevators, in towers, or as a night boss, his unpredictable appearances add a thrilling layer of danger to the experience.

The success of Morgott's invasions has sparked discussions about other potential invaders. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2, and even Bloodborne Hunters, are among the fan-favorite suggestions. The possibilities are exciting.

Further intrigue surrounds the Fell Omen's invasions; GamesRadar reported an invasion where a slain co-op partner seemed to receive a curse mark, hinting at deeper mechanics yet to be discovered. The full extent of these mechanics remains to be seen.

Despite server issues during the initial network test, many players experienced Nightreign's unique challenges over the weekend. While the full release isn't until May 30th, early impressions are highly positive. Be sure to check out our own hands-on preview of Elden Ring: Nightreign for a more in-depth look.
