The notorious Fell Omen bosses from Elden Ring have made a thrilling return in Elden Ring Nightreign, FromSoftware's latest venture into the Lands Between. Among them, Morgott, a boss well-known to Elden Ring players, has been reimagined as an even more formidable adversary.
In Elden Ring, Morgott's phantom versions would unpredictably appear throughout the campaign, adding an element of surprise. This feature has been amplified in Nightreign, where an unnamed Fell Omen, essentially an enhanced version of Morgott, can ambush players with jump-scare invasions. Morgott isn't the only boss capable of such invasions in Nightreign, but his inclusion is particularly apt, not only reflecting his original game's surprise tactics but also featuring new voice lines and additional moves. This upgrade seems fair, especially when players can team up with two friends to face him.
Beyond invasions, the Fell Omen can also serve as an end-of-night boss, providing a challenging conclusion to players' nightly adventures in the Nightreign test.

During the recent Elden Ring Nightreign sessions, numerous testers, including the renowned player "Let Me Solo Her," took on the Fell Omen. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising Morgott's invasion mechanics as a highlight of the experience. Discussions on the Elden Ring Nightreign subreddit have revealed various locations where players encountered Morgott, from elevators and towers to his role as a night boss, often leading to unexpected and humorous situations.
The success of the Fell Omen's invasions has sparked excitement about the potential for other iconic enemies to appear suddenly and challenge players. For instance, the Pursuer from Dark Souls 2 or even Hunters from Bloodborne would be thrilling additions, though the latter might remain a distant dream.

There's also speculation about deeper mechanics tied to the Fell Omen's invasions. For example, GamesRadar reported an instance where the Omen not only defeated a co-op partner but also left a curse mark on the fallen player, hinting at intriguing future developments as more players explore Nightreign.
Despite some server issues during the initial network test, many players managed to experience the Lands Between over the weekend. The full release of Nightreign is eagerly anticipated on May 30, and in the meantime, you can find our hands-on impressions of Elden Ring Nightreign here.
