Early testers of Elden Ring Nightreign have uncovered an eerie twist in the Lands Between: the notorious Fell Omen bosses are making a comeback. In a move that fans of FromSoftware’s signature style will appreciate, Morgott—one of Elden Ring’s infamous bosses—is set to invade players’ sessions in Nightreign with an upgraded, jump-scare variant. Known for his unexpected appearances later in the main campaign, Morgott now appears in multiple roles during Nightreign, from surprise squad invasions to serving as an end-of-night boss when the sun sets over the eerie landscapes.
According to feedback from early testers, including prominent figures like the creator behind Let Me Solo Her, the new invasion mechanics have elevated the game’s challenge and excitement. Morgott’s Fell Omen variant doesn’t just rehash his old moves—it comes with fresh voice lines and new attack patterns designed to catch players off guard. One gamer on the Elden Ring Nightreign subreddit even described the experience as “a great hater,” with Morgott’s sudden invasions adding a layer of unpredictability that has both frustrated and entertained players. Whether appearing in elevators, towers, or mid-co-op sessions, the upgraded boss seems poised to deliver both intense battles and unexpected comedic moments.
Beyond Morgott, early reports suggest that Nightreign’s invasion system might pave the way for other iconic enemies to make surprise appearances. Rumors are swirling about potential invasions from characters reminiscent of Dark Souls 2’s Pursuer or even Hunters from Bloodborne, though such features remain speculative for now. Additionally, some testers have reported mysterious curse marks left on players after a particularly brutal invasion, hinting at deeper, perhaps permanent, gameplay effects that could alter how co-op sessions unfold.
While the initial network test encountered some server issues, the overall response to Nightreign’s new features has been promising. As the test phase continues until May 30, players are eagerly sharing their experiences and theories on various forums, fueling excitement for the final release. For those looking to dive deeper into these early impressions, comprehensive hands-on reviews are already available, offering a closer look at how these innovative invasion mechanics are set to redefine the Elden Ring experience.
