Elden Ring Nightreign's surprise invasions: A closer look at the returning Fell Omen
The infamous Fell Omen bosses from Elden Ring are making a comeback in the upcoming DLC, Nightreign. Players are already encountering Morgott, a formidable boss from the main game, in unexpected and challenging invasion encounters. His appearance isn't just a simple reskin; he boasts new voice lines and moves, making for a significantly more difficult fight, especially in co-op.
Morgott's invasions aren't limited to random encounters. He can also appear as a challenging end-of-night boss, adding another layer of unpredictability to the Nightreign experience. Early testers have shared their experiences, highlighting Morgott's unexpected appearances in various locations, from elevators to towers, generating both frustration and amusement.
The success of Morgott's invasion mechanic has sparked discussions about other potential invaders. Many players are suggesting fan-favorite bosses from previous Dark Souls titles, such as the Pursuer from Dark Souls 2, or even Bloodborne Hunters. The possibility of a curse mark left on slain players adds an intriguing new dimension to the invasion mechanic.
The recent network test, while hampered by server issues, provided a valuable glimpse into Nightreign's gameplay. The overwhelmingly positive feedback on Morgott's inclusion suggests a promising future for the DLC. While the full release is set for May 30th, the early impressions are overwhelmingly positive.
