Fell Omen Returns: Elden Ring Testers Experience Morgott Jump-Scare Invasions

The infamous Fell Omen bosses of Elden Ring have made a thrilling comeback in Elden Ring Nightreign, where FromSoftware has unleashed them upon the Lands Between with a vengeance. Morgott, a notorious figure from the original game, now appears in an even more fearsome form as an unnamed Fell Omen. This upgraded version can surprise players with jump-scare invasions throughout the campaign, echoing his unexpected phantom appearances in the base game.

Morgott is not the only boss capable of invading your squad in Nightreign, but he stands out as a particularly fitting adversary. His invasions are enhanced with new voice lines and additional moves, making him a formidable opponent. As players can team up with two friends, it's only fair that Morgott brings some new tricks to the fight. Besides invasions, the Fell Omen can also serve as an end-of-night boss, challenging players in one of the final confrontations as the sun sets during the Elden Ring Nightreign test.

Early testers, including the renowned player Let Me Solo Her, have faced the Fell Omen during the Nightreign sessions. The community's reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with many appreciating Morgott's invasion mechanic as one of the standout features. Players have reported encounters in various locations, from elevators to towers, showcasing Morgott's unpredictable nature and leading to some humorous outcomes.

The sudden invasions by the Fell Omen have sparked excitement about the potential for other enemies to similarly ambush players. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2, for instance, is a popular suggestion among fans. Personally, the idea of Hunters from Bloodborne invading, though a distant dream, is an intriguing one that would certainly shake up gameplay.

GamesRadar reported an intriguing twist where a Fell Omen invasion resulted in a curse mark being branded on a defeated co-op partner, hinting at deeper mechanics that could evolve as the game progresses. Despite some server issues during the first network test, many players managed to dive into the Lands Between over the weekend. The full scope of Nightreign will become clearer when it launches on May 30, but until then, you can check out our hands-on impressions of Elden Ring Nightreign for more insights.
