Elden Ring Nightreign's surprise invasions are generating significant buzz, particularly the inclusion of Morgott, a notorious boss from the main game. His unexpected appearances, mirroring his original game behavior, are enhanced with new voice lines and moves, making him a formidable and fitting invader. He can appear as both a surprise encounter and a final boss at the end of a Nightreign session.
Early testers have overwhelmingly praised Morgott's invasion mechanic, highlighting its unpredictable nature and thrilling gameplay. His appearances range from elevator ambushes to tower encounters, creating memorable and often humorous moments.
The success of Morgott's invasion has fueled speculation about other potential invaders. The Pursuer from Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne Hunters are among the fan favorites suggested. GamesRadar even reported a particularly brutal invasion that left a curse mark on a defeated player, hinting at potentially deeper mechanics yet to be discovered.
The recent network test, despite server issues, provided valuable feedback. While the full impact of Nightreign will be revealed on May 30th, the initial response to Morgott's inclusion is overwhelmingly positive. The anticipation for future surprises and the potential for more iconic Dark Souls bosses to join the fray is high.
