Elden Ring's Nightreign DLC unleashes the dreaded Fell Omen bosses upon the Lands Between, creating thrilling and unexpected encounters. Morgott, a formidable antagonist from the main game, is a prime example. His surprise invasions, mirroring his original appearances, are enhanced with new voice lines and moves, making for a challenging fight, especially in co-op.
The Fell Omen doesn't just invade; it also serves as a challenging end-of-night boss, adding another layer of strategic depth to the gameplay. Early testers, including the famed "Let Me Solo Her," have already faced this formidable foe, praising its inclusion and unpredictable nature. Morgott's invasions have been lauded as a highlight, with players reporting encounters in diverse locations, from elevators to towers.
The success of the Fell Omen invasion mechanic has sparked speculation about other potential invaders. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2, and even Bloodborne Hunters, are among the fan-favorite suggestions. Some players have even reported a unique curse mark left on slain players after a Fell Omen invasion, hinting at deeper, yet-to-be-discovered mechanics.
Despite server issues during the initial network test, the weekend play sessions saw a significant number of players engaging with Nightreign. While the full experience awaits the May 30th release, the early impressions are overwhelmingly positive. The potential for unexpected boss encounters adds a new dimension of excitement and replayability to the Elden Ring experience.
A poll asking which Dark Souls bosses should be included in future Nightreign updates highlights the community's enthusiasm for this feature. Options include iconic bosses like Ornstein and Smough, Artorias the Abysswalker, and various others from Dark Souls 2 and 3.
