Elden Ring Nightreign's surprise invasions by infamous Fell Omens are generating significant buzz. Morgott, a formidable boss from the main game, is a prominent example. His unpredictable appearances, mirroring his original game behavior, are enhanced with new voice lines and moves in Nightreign, creating intense jump-scare invasions.
Morgott's role extends beyond invasions; he also features as a challenging end-of-night boss in the Nightreign test. Early testers, including the renowned "Let Me Solo Her," have already encountered him, overwhelmingly describing him as a truly formidable opponent. His invasion mechanic, appearing in diverse locations (elevators, towers, etc.), is praised as a standout feature.
The success of Morgott's invasions fuels speculation about other potential invaders. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne Hunters are among the fan-favorite suggestions. Interestingly, GamesRadar reported an invasion that left a curse mark on a defeated player, hinting at deeper, yet-to-be-discovered mechanics.
The recent network test, despite server issues, provided ample opportunity for players to experience Nightreign. While the full release is set for May 30th, early impressions are overwhelmingly positive. The anticipation for the full game is high, especially with the potential for more surprise boss encounters.
