Elden Ring's Nightreign expansion unleashes the dreaded Fell Omen bosses upon the Lands Between, creating thrilling and unexpected encounters. Morgott, a formidable antagonist from the main game, makes a particularly noteworthy appearance. His surprise invasions, reminiscent of his original game appearances, are enhanced with new voice lines and moves, making for a challenging fight, especially in co-op.
Morgott's presence isn't limited to invasions; he can also appear as a final boss at the end of a Nightreign session. Early testers have overwhelmingly praised the unpredictable nature of these encounters, with Morgott appearing in various locations, from elevators to towers, leading to humorous and intense moments.
The success of Morgott's invasion mechanic has sparked excitement for the potential inclusion of other iconic bosses. Suggestions range from the Pursuer (Dark Souls 2) to Bloodborne Hunters, although the latter remains a hopeful, albeit distant, possibility. Some invasions even seem to inflict a curse on slain players, hinting at deeper mechanics yet to be discovered.
Despite server issues during the initial network test, many players experienced the thrill of Nightreign's unique gameplay. The expansion's full release on May 30th is highly anticipated, promising even more surprises and challenges.
