Elden Ring's Nightreign expansion unleashes the dreaded Fell Omen bosses upon the Lands Between. Morgott, a notorious antagonist from the main game, is a prime example. His unpredictable phantom appearances in Elden Ring are replicated in Nightreign, where an enhanced Morgott (the unnamed Fell Omen) can suddenly invade players' games, delivering jump scares and new attacks.
This invasion mechanic isn't limited to Morgott; other bosses may also ambush players. However, Morgott's inclusion is particularly fitting, mirroring his surprise encounters in the original Elden Ring and featuring additional dialogue and moves. The challenge intensifies with multiple players, justifying the boss's upgraded abilities.
Beyond surprise invasions, the Fell Omen can also serve as a challenging end-of-night boss, culminating the night's gameplay in a climactic battle.

Early testers, including the renowned "Let Me Solo Her," have already encountered the Fell Omen, universally praising its challenging and surprising nature. Reports detail invasions in diverse locations – during elevator rides, atop towers, and even as a night boss – highlighting the unpredictable nature of these encounters. The mechanic's success has sparked speculation about other potential invaders, with suggestions ranging from the Pursuer (Dark Souls 2) to Bloodborne Hunters.

The Fell Omen invasions may also incorporate deeper mechanics. GamesRadar reported an invasion that resulted in a player's death and the subsequent appearance of a curse mark, hinting at potentially significant consequences.
Despite initial server issues, the Nightreign network test attracted numerous players. While the full release is set for May 30th, early impressions are overwhelmingly positive. The unpredictable nature of the Fell Omen invasions and the potential for more surprise encounters promise a thrilling and unpredictable experience.
