The Fell Omen bosses from Elden Ring have become legendary, and it's thrilling to see FromSoftware unleash them once again in Elden Ring Nightreign across the Lands Between. Morgott, a notorious boss from the original game, continues to haunt players in Nightreign with his phantom versions appearing unexpectedly throughout the campaign. This feature seems to have evolved into Nightreign, where an upgraded version of Morgott, referred to as an unnamed Fell Omen, can now invade players, adding a thrilling jump-scare element to the gameplay.
Morgott isn't the only boss with this invasive capability in Nightreign, but he's particularly fitting. His surprise attacks align well with his unexpected appearances in Elden Ring, and Nightreign enhances his presence with new voice lines and additional moves. It's only fair that when players can bring friends into the fight, Morgott gets a few new tricks up his sleeve.
Besides invading players, the Fell Omen can also appear as a formidable end-of-night boss, marking one of the final challenges players can face as the sun sets during the Elden Ring Nightreign test.

During the Elden Ring Nightreign sessions over the weekend, many early testers, including the famed player known as Let Me Solo Her, engaged with the Fell Omen. The general sentiment among players is clear: Morgott, or Margit, or any iteration of the Fell Omen, is a master of disruption and surprise.
On the Elden Ring Nightreign subreddit, players have praised Morgott's invasion mechanic as one of their favorite features. Discussions on various threads reveal where players encountered him, whether as a night boss, on an elevator, or within a tower. Morgott's readiness to appear anywhere has led to some amusing and unexpected encounters.
The sudden invasions by the Fell Omen have sparked excitement about the potential for other iconic enemies to make surprise appearances. For instance, the Pursuer from Dark Souls 2 could be a thrilling addition. Personally, the idea of Hunters from Bloodborne invading and challenging players sounds exhilarating, though it remains a distant hope.

There might be even more to the Fell Omen invasions than meets the eye. GamesRadar reported an instance where the Omen not only defeated a co-op partner but also left a curse mark on the fallen player. As more players get hands-on time with Elden Ring Nightreign, these deeper mechanics will likely be explored further.
Despite server issues during the first network test, a substantial number of players managed to experience the Lands Between over the weekend. The full release of Nightreign is eagerly anticipated on May 30. Until then, you can delve into our hands-on impressions of Elden Ring Nightreign for more insights.
