==Profile==
===Identity===
A magic queen who held the throne in the of , even if only for a short time.Fate/Grand Order material IV - Nitocris, p.090-101, translated by Clyton at Beast's Lair.Fate/Grand Order Profile of Nitocris, translated by Master of Chaos at Beast's Lair. A person who lived around the 22nd Century BC. Strangely, she has the same name with an of Babylon. It has been assumed that she caused all the influential men who deliberately murdered her beloved brothers to die by drowning, and then took her own life after accomplishing her revenge.
====Legend====
Her throne, which became the seat for puppet Pharaohs due to the hands of influential people who made light of the gods, was smeared with blood more often than it being something to give praise to the splendor of the gods. However, Nitocris, who became a Pharaoh, could stop forgetting the regrets of the preceding young kings, who were her brothers, that were altogether murdered by the hands of the influential people, and the throne of the Pharaoh, worthy of splendor, was played with by the lower classes; she couldn’t forgive that.
————"Punishment, for disrespectfully playing with even the seat of the Pharaoh, who serves as the ruler and is worthy to be god."
————"Punishment, for committing treason in vain by putting your hands on my beloved brothers."
Although she obediently abided with the enthronement for a short while, Nitocris advanced a “plan” in secret to kill altogether the influential people. She opened a banquet in order to gather them, the treasonous people who showed irreverence, into an enormous basement that was constructed, and in the middle of their intoxication, she filled the basement with a massive amount of water drawn in from the , killing every single person through drowning, thus having accomplished her revenge.
Afterwards, it is said that Nitocris chose to commit suicide promptly without making arrangements for her rebirth after death as a Pharaoh.
Although she was said to be the last Pharaoh of the Sixth Dynasty, there is no discovery of a positive proof that she clearly existed, even up to the present day, so she is also viewed as a “queen in legends”. However, the Greek historian in the 5th Century BC wrote down her existence in the “”, written as the world’s first history book.
Beyond her gentle smile, Nitocris possesses absolute confidence as a Pharaoh. The “” sceptre wielded in her hand is a symbol of royal authority, while simultaneously, it is the same sceptre held by the ancient Egyptian gods; it is also a magical Mystic Code that possesses a powerful Mystery. The gods blessed her to have a strong will and pride. Gifted the power of the skies, and gifted the power of the underworld, she was bestowed enough power to conduct her revenge. Was it a section of the Nile River, as written down by Herodotus, that she really used to kill her bitter enemies that she invited to the basement, or was it a torrent of evil spirits overflowing from her bronze mirror of darkness, given to her by the gods, that killed them? After death, Nitocris did not proceed towards the “Eternal Paradise” that is in the afterlife of ancient Egypt. Consequently, she committed suicide without even making arrangements of her rebirth.
Was it the blessings of the gods, or was it because of the people’s thoughts? For later on, Nitocris would be etched onto a seat of the Heroic Spirits.
Nitocris materialized as a Servant, or so she thinks. The previous Pharaohs who died some time ago before herself, her beloved brothers: did they really make their entry onto the road that leads into the “Eternal Paradise”? She at least doesn’t know since she herself didn’t arrive there. If it is the case that, at least, they are Pharaohs, let that thought be true. Truly, the Pharaoh Ozymandias, the dazzlingly beautiful Pharaoh; wherever he is, that brilliance reaches the gods————
If they live on as eternal existences, undoubtedly, the souls of her brothers will be rescued by that power.
===Appearance===
Nitocris is a dark-skinned young woman with purple hair, and wears very revealing clothing with Anubis-like ears, golden earrings, and an elaborate necklace.
===Personality===
Fundamentally, Nitocris is a wise and graceful woman, always being calm towards crises and dangers, and she possesses the emotional strength and intelligence to make it possible for her to deduce the very best move… or that is expected of her, but there is a reason why she repeatedly jumps to the wrong conclusion and why she is often short-tempered. It is because she has a fierce will burning brightly inside of her heart.
Even if she was a queen who was pushed up as a puppet, Nitocris is still a child of god, and she properly possesses the self-awareness of being a Pharaoh, a ruler who reaches for godhood————or so it should be; but she ends up cowering before great Pharaohs such as the Sun King Ozymandias and the King of Conquerors Iskandar.
Consequently, Nitocris massacred the influential people who tried to turn the Pharaoh into an influential tool. The reason why she killed them is not only because she wanted vengeance for her brothers, but because the splendor that is the Pharaoh should not be defiled by the lower classes, and that is surely no doubt for the sake of the Pharaohs that will continue to exist for the next millennia and beyond————
Nitocris comes into contact with the protagonist as an “allied partner”.
The wish she wants to make on the Holy Grail is “for my brothers to live peacefully in the Eternal Paradise.” For Nitocris who became a Heroic Spirit, she does not know if her assassinated brothers had made their entry onto the road that leads into the “Eternal Paradise” in the afterlife of ancient Egypt without any problems and as should be expected; therefore, she has no choice but to wish.

==Role==
===Fate/Grand Order===
====Sixth Singularity: Camelot====
Nitocris is captured by Hassan of the Hundred Faces and her compatriots from Ramesseum Tentyris. She is rescued by Ritsuka’s party, but she mistakes them as her captors. Despite her fatigue, she fights them and summons a sphinx. She refuses to believe the group rescued her out of altruism. She also cannot trust them because Mash’s armor is same as the knights from the Holy City of Camelot. Bedivere then arrives to help against the sphinx and slays it with Airgetlám. He tells Nitocris that the group truly rescued her, having witnessed it himself. He warns he’ll fight her and she may lose standing with Ozymandias if she refuses to believe. Nitocris question the group’s altruistic actions since they aren’t Egyptian citizens. She realizes the Saracens could be the only culprits though after Bedivere asks if the knights of the Holy City had reason to abduct her. Realizing her error, Nitocris brings the group to Ramesseum Tentyris as a show of gratitude.Fate/Grand Order - Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm, Section 1: Welcomed by the Sand
After Nitocris clears the sandstorm, Bedivere departs from the group. Nitocris warns the group she needs to return to the temple before evening, otherwise she’ll be considered kidnapped. She asks them to protect until they reach the temple since her clearing of the sandstorm allowed monsters to invade the desert. Da Vinci lies that she and the others are travelling performers, but Nitocris is suspicious of their origin. Nitocris reveals Ozymandias summoned her, and she explains he quickly rose to power after being summoned. Others oppose him though, such as Saracens in the mountains. Da Vinci mentions Jerusalem as another opponent, but Nitocris reveals Jerusalem was destroyed. Finding their lack of knowledge suspicious, Nitocris summons a sphinx as a trial for the group to prove their innocence. After the purposely weakened sphinx retreats, Nitocris says they passed, and they continue to the temple.Fate/Grand Order - Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm, Section 2: Supper of the Sun King
Inside the temple, Nitocris brings the group to Ozymandias’ throne room. She tells them to bow before Ozymandias, claim he may awaken from his weariness and speak with them. Ozymandias confesses his knowledge of Chaldea already repairing five Singularities so far and shows he possesses the Holy Grail. But he isn’t Solomon’s ally, having seized it from the Crusaders after being summoned into the era. He then orders Nitocris to summon efreets to attack the group. After the battle, Ozymandias calls the group an enemy since they seek his Grail. He reveals the era collapsed long before Chaldea arrived, as the Crusades never occurred. Da Vinci accuses him of being the distortion that caused the era’s collapse, but he corrects her that the Lion King was responsible for it.
After a feast, Nitocris escorts the group back to the temple’s entrance. She calls Ozymandias ruthless yet generous to the courageous when Mash and Da Vinci note the supplies and materials he provided them. She thinks Ozymandias took a liking to them because of Ritsuka’s aura, believing their easygoing personality resembles an old friend of his. However, she warns they will be killed if they ever return. She then asks Mash if she is afraid of fighting, having sensed her true nature. Mash is unable to answer, but Nitocris is sure it’s something to be proud of while suspecting Ozymandias would rebuke it as weakness. However, Mash differs from herself, as Mash fights without deceiving herself despite her fear. Nitocris also confesses her jealously of Ritsuka and Mash’s mutually supportive relationship. She then returns to the temple’s interior, warning the group to be careful after they leave the desert.
As Ritsuka's party are being attacked by Lancelot and his knights as they search the desert for the Atlas Institute, Nitocris manifests a giant illusion of herself. This distracts the knights enough for the group to escape.Fate/Grand Order - Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm, Section 13: To the Desert of Atlas Nitocris later apologizes to Ozymandias for aiding the group. She believes he was right in sealing away the Grail to prevent others from getting it when he questions his decision to isolate himself with it. She calls Heroic Spirits greedy beings except for him, as he alone didn’t seek the Grail. Ozymandias offers her the Grail, but she rejects it. He then orders her to go sever the weakness in her.Fate/Grand Order - Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm, Section 15: The God King Ozymandias 
Nitocris confronts Ritsuka’s party when they come to the temple to gain Ozymandias’ cooperation. She calls Rhongomyniad powerless before her mirror, so she’ll protect the temple no matter how many times the holy lance is launched at it. She then fights them to see if they’re worthy of an audience with Ozymandias. They defeat her, so she allows them to meet with Ozymandias. After recovering, she returns to the throne room just in time to see Ozymandias changing back from Amun-Ra. Ozymandias orders her to fight alongside him against the group to prove they’re worthy of his cooperation. After being defeated, he gives the Grail to Mash, and agrees to lend his sphinxes for the assault on Camelot.
When Rhongomyniad's true form, the Tower at the Ends of the World, manifests at Camelot, Nitocris comments to Ozymandias that his prophecy came true. Then, on his orders, she activates the temple's Great Lightbulb Dendera to attack the Tower. She tells him to focus on controlling it, while she focuses on defending if Rhongomyniad is launched at them. However, the attack is blocked by the magical walls surrounding Camelot, so Ozymandias uses his own Spirit Origin to accelerate the temple towards the city. After the walls are destroyed, Nitocris uses Anpu Neb Ta Djeser to block the Tower's counterattack. Ozymandias uses that chance to crash the temple into the Tower to destroy it. With Nitocris’ mirror broken and Ozymandias having used all of his energy, the two pharaohs disappear.Fate/Grand Order - Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm, Section 17: Replica
====Final Singularity: Solomon====
Nitocris is amongst the "Camelot" Singularity Servants to aid Chaldea against the Demon Gods Pillars.Fate/Grand Order - Salomon: The Grand Time Temple - Act 07: VI / Spy Satellite Amon
====Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees====
Nitocris is chosen as one of Chaldea's Servants for the attack on the South American Lostbelt. After the Storm Border's crash she partners with Kadoc Zemlupus to battle Tlaloc, but is beaten and nearly killed.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Intermission (I) Tlaloc remarks that she was tough to fight against and that water based attacks had no effects on her causing her to change her core. Nitocris is rushed to the medical bay on the Storm Border and watched over by Nemo Nurse.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Chapter 7: Guns, Wars, Losses
Nitocris eventually recovers completely. When the Storm Border's repair site comes under attack by Camazotz, she counters his undead miniosn with spirits of her own. Confused and enraged, Camazotz grabs Nitocris and demands to know what she did, while threatening to cut her in half with his scythe if Fujimaru tries to save her. The source of Camazotz's confusion is the way that Nitocris claims to have memorized the names of all the spirits she rules. When Nitocris affirms that she has because they were her subjects, and she can only be where she is as a Heroic Spirit because she carries their pain with her, Camazotz furiously flies into the sky. He states that this is the worst day of his life and he has met the most repulsive, vile of women.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Chapter 12
When Chaldea meets Xquic Nitocris asks her how exactly Camazotz is able to turn Chaldea's underworld-related Servants into Alter forms, since his Command Spells alone shouldn't be enough. Xquic informs Nitocris of a ritual to do so.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Chapter 14
Nitocris has a rematch with Tlaloc during the Ocelomeh's attack on Chichen Itza. Knowing that Tlaloc is a Servant from Proper Human History Nitocris tries to get her to join their side and defend the Human Order, but Tlaloc declares that as long as the Ocelomeh live in her city they are her people, and she will shed blood for them, which Nitocris finds odd. Tlaloc defeats Nitocris again, but the fight was just a distraction in the first place until the crew of the Storm Border could prepare a weapon to counter her. But despite their efforts, while the weapon blows Tlaloc away she is unharmed by it. Nitocris realizes from Tlaloc's earlier words that she is not even a god at all, because gods do not shed blood for the sake of man, though she is still a threat as powerful as one.
Nitocris considers using Xquic's ritual to become an Alter and defeat Tlaloc, but their fight is interrupted by Camazotz who tears Tlaloc's body apart. Camazotz insists that he wasn't trying to save them, but that they should dedicate their deaths to him instead of being killed by someone else. He invites them to meet him in Mictlan's eighth layer.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Chapter 15
In Camazotz's domain, he promises to let Chaldea go unharmed and continue on to ORT on one condition: they give Nitocris to him. When Fujimaru of course denies him, Camazotz reveals his identity as a Beast and transforms into a monstrous bat creature to battle them, while speaking of how he lost all of his people to defeat ORT. Camazotz abducts Nitocris and takes her further into his domain with the intent of transforming her into an Alter, but realizes he's already used up all of his Command Spells so capturing her was pointless.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Chapter 17
Camazotz asks Nitocris why she took her own life after killing the men who killed her brothers, which has been bothering him for some time now. He deduces that Nitocris had thought herself a sinner as well, and calls her an obstinate fool. Nitocris asks him why he isn't bothered by the end of his world, and he reveals to her that he cannot die, he will continue existing even if the sun goes out or ORT destroys the planet. If he forgets the past nothing will remain of it, and the present will continue on without any pain, sorrow, or trace of himself.
Chaldea arrives to save Nitocris and begins fighting Camazotz again, but Nitocris knows they can't defeat him. She acknowledges that Camazotz was correct, that the reason she killed herself and kept herself from going to a paradise afterlife was because she felt she was also a sinner for killing her brother's killers with underhanded tactics. Nitocris performs the ritual that Xquic told her about, which is to become an Alter by betraying her own beliefs. Nitocris tears out her heart and offers it to Anubis to judge her soul. In doing so, she realizes that the reason Camazotz saved her was because he had forced himself to forget everything so that he would not live in despair, while she in contrast would become an avatar of vengeance who administers divine punishment: Nitocris Alter.
Nitocris Alter declares that she will administer the punishment that Camazotz has been running from for 6 million years, giving him atonement in death. With her power, Camazotz is brought to the brink of death as Nitocris Alter's magical energy runs out and she turns back into Nitocris. Unconscious, she falls from the sky, and Camazotz jumps up to save her. He lets her down safely and vanishes, now remembering his people.
In the lowest level of Mictlan, Tlaloc confronts the group. Nitocris accuses her of being neither Tlaloc nor Huitzilopochtli, but actually the city of Tenochtitlan itself, summoned as a Pretender-class Servant. Nitocris transforms into Nitocris Alter once more and defeats Tenochtitlan, but chooses not to kill her and reverts back to normal Nitocris. She tells Tenochtitlan to know when and who she wants to fight for, unlike how Nitocris acted too late and lost her brothers.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Chapter 18
Having killed herself and became Nitocris Alter outside of one of the underworld borders, Nitocris begins to fade away. She tells Fujimaru that this is the end of Chaldea's Nitocris, and if they summon a new copy that Nitocris won't remember any of their previous time together.
==== Halloween Event: Halloween Comeback! Super Ultra ☆ Giant Pumpkin Village ====
Nitocris resides in a cave near the Glacier Zone. At some point, she made a pact with Robin Hood to protect one another's territory. 
When Elizabeth Bathory's party enters her territory, Nitocris creates a giant illusion of herself in reaction to Elizabeth's "nasty aura." She reprimands Robin for bringing others into her territory and reminds him of their pact. She then declares she and Elizabeth are eternal rivals because of their similarities. Elizabeth accepts and agrees. After a moment of silence, the two women loudly ask for the other’s name. Despite their similarities, the two claim they'll never get along. They then argue about Elizabeth's armor, which escalates into Elizabeth rushing into Nitocris's cave to fight her.
After Nitocris is defeated, she and Elizabeth compliment each other on their ghosts and songs. Becoming friends with Elizabeth, Nitocris joins the group when Mash and Robin finally catch up. Elizabeth says they need to go to the Glacier Zone next. Ibaraki-douji also suddenly appears and joins the group.
The group tries to rush through the Glacier Zone for the sake of Elizabeth and Nitocris, whose outfits cover little of their bodies. But the group is ambushed by monsters that they promptly slay. After Robin convinces Ibaraki to stay with them, Elizabeth says they need to go to the Lava Zone next.
In the Lava Zone, Elizabeth and Nitocris hide behind Mash’s shield to protect themselves from the splashing magma. Nearing the area’s end, the group comes across Minamoto-no-Raikou, Hassan of Serenity, and Kiyohime. When the three sense Ritsuka, the group hides underneath Robin’s cloak. They unveil themselves, though, when Ritsuka decides to confront Raikou, Serenity, and Kiyohime. Ibaraki, realizing a fight is coming, asks Nitocris to make a decoy of Ritsuka.
While the others fight, Nitocris completes her task. Ibaraki blinds Raikou, Serenity, and Kiyohime with Great Grudge of Rashoumon, then places the decoy near some lava to drive them away. As she planned, Raikou, Serenity, and Kiyohime go after the decoy into the lava, but to her horror, they all swim harmlessly in it. The group takes this chance to make a break for it.
The group arrives at the castle, where they're confronted by Vlad III. Vlad declares he has come to judge Elizabeth for her sins. He is defeated, only to get back up to tell Elizabeth that she doesn’t understand. He says she needs to understand if she wishes to call herself a hero. The group is then suddenly teleported back to the graveyard by a giant floating Siegfried.
At the graveyard, Elizabeth asks Robin what she doesn’t understand since he seemed to know. He points out the situation in town, prompting Elizabeth to recall no one was preparing for Halloween, and everyone was locked in their houses. Robin reveals no one was celebrating Halloween because Elizabeth never ordered them to. Elizabeth makes the excuse she was preparing for her concert as she panics at not knowing what to do. Though scared of seeing Vlad angry at her again, she is encouraged to properly prepare for Halloween. Told how to prepare and encouraged by Ibaraki, Elizabeth then loudly proclaims that the Halloween festivities will commence. Her proclamation was so loud, though, that it made the dead raise, forcing the group to fight. After defeating the pumpkin-headed undead, the group takes the pumpkins to give to the townsfolk.
Returning to town, the group split up to ask the townsfolk to help decorate for Halloween while handing out pumpkins. As agreed, they reconvene back at the town square after two hours. Unfortunately, none of them could convince the townsfolk to help decorate for Halloween. Elizabeth is frustrated no one wants to help celebrate a festival both adults and kids alike can enjoy. Nitocris surmises the people don’t respect Elizabeth as their ruler. Suddenly, the group is confronted by Tristan and Lancelot (as the Mysterious Black Knight). After they’re defeated, Elizabeth announces that the town will celebrate Halloween, including the knights who she has wear pumpkins. They comply with her order, but they retreat when they realize they can’t remove the pumpkins as Nitocris has cursed them. With the knights now gone, Elizabeth announces that it’s safe to openly celebrate Halloween.
After Ibaraki sends Tristan and Lancelot flying back to the pyramid, the group watches the town celebrate Halloween. They then proceed to the castle gate and defeat Vlad. After he disappears, the group head inside the castle.
Inside, Tristan and Lancelot guide the group to the throne room. There they meet the queen, Cleopatra. Elizabeth defeats her in a duel and demands she remove the pyramid. But Cleopatra reveals she didn’t summon the pyramid. Ozymandias appears and proudly announces he summoned the pyramid. Nitocris tells Ozymandias she wouldn't have joined Elizabeth's party if she knew the pyramid was his. But Ozymandias replies that he told Cleopatra to keep it secret. He then reveals Cleopatra initially refused to be summoned as a Servant, but she took the chance to rule over his pyramid until Halloween’s end on the promise he'll grant her wish. Elizabeth calls Cleopatra an idiot for suppressing her selfishness to atone for destroying her kingdom and tells her it’s fine to be a pharaoh who follows their personal desires. After she decides to join Chaldea, Cleopatra confesses she wishes to see Julius Caesar again. But her description of him differs greatly from what everyone else knows. Romani shows an image of what Caesar looks like. Nitocris and Ozymandias collapse upon seeing it.
====Summer Event: Dead Heat Summer Race!====
Nitocris sees a flyer for Ishtar's race and decides it's her chance to demonstrate the power of the pharaohs to the world. As her medjed cannot drive, she tries to ask another pharaoh to be the driver and allow her to assist them. But all the pharaohs at Chaldea are unavailable for different reasons. Cleopatra is following Caesar on his tour sampling the world's cuisine. Iskandar is nowhere to be found. Ozymandias refused because he believes a true pharaoh's glory should be obvious to all. But he did order her to win the race, seeing it as the perfect opportunity to remedy her shortcomings as a pharaoh. With the registration deadline drawing near, Nitocris tries looking for a Servant to assist her while she drives instead. But she can't find anyone who is in awe of the pharaohs. She eventually comes across Scheherazade and immediately asks her if she holds pharaohs in high regard. Scheherazade supposes she does, given that they're kings. Nitocris accepts her answer and makes Scheherazade her partner in Ishtar's race. But Scheherazade refuses as she does not want to die. Nitocris assures Scheherazade that if they win, she will make her a talisman that will protect her from death by breaking in her place. Scheherazade readily accepts.
At the racetrack, Nitocris surprises Ritsuka when she talks to them with a sheet covering her whole body. She uncovers herself, and Mash asks her why she was under there. Nitocris explains that it kind of happened while feeling ashamed of herself while she was changing into her swimsuit. She tries to retract her statement, though, by saying medjed is a fast racer thanks to its sleek form. Ishtar then shows everyone the ritual tools, which are key to erasing the Singularity, and indicates a team is a legit participant. They’re designed to integrate into the vehicles, and any vehicle trying to race without them is automatically disqualified. After commentary on each team from Ishtar, the race begins. Nobunaga and X are the first out of the starting line, but Ishtar shoots them down for breaking the rule on flying.
A group of thugs soon appear before the racers. After the thugs are defeated, their leader, Atalanta, arrives. She considers the thugs to be her children to the racers’ confusion. Calling the wasteland the Atalanta Plains, she tells the racers that its roads lead to where she and her children planted Seed Apples. They are essential to her children‘s future, so she cannot permit them to be destroyed in the race. Though reluctant to potenitally crush the seeds, Nirtocris ultimately follows Ozymandias' imagined advice to walk over the seeds, hoping they won't be crushed. Unbeknownst to her, though, Scheherazade activates their vehicle's walker mode, which was designed to avoid dangerous objects, so they don't end up crushing the seeds. But the mode is slow, so Nitocris worries that they may lose. A landmine goes off, which Nitocris thinks is Ozymandias attacking from Mesektet until Scheherazade corrects her. Thanks to the walker mode, Nitocris and Scheherazade were able to avoid Atalanta's landmines meant to protect the seeds, unlike everyone else. Nitocris points out the explosions likely destroyed the seeds, but Atalanta blames the racers for what happened. Nitocris and Scheherazade try to race on ahead, but Atalanta easily catches up to them on foot. They defeat her, and she tells them she did her best to play her given role. After Atalanta disappears, Nitocris wonders what she meant but ignores it, for now, to admire their victory as they head for the checkpoint. But Scheherazade reactivates walker mode as she's afraid they may be attacked while they revel in their victory. Nitocris is annoyed, especially considering with the other races catching up.
Eventually, the racers arrive at a river. Penthesilea appears and explains the more beautiful they are, the faster they will go. She introduces them to the judges: Mister B, who judges their personal beauty, and Leonardo da Vinci, who judges their vehicles’ beauty. Nitocris struggles over what to do before deciding to cover herself with her sheet, thinking the medjed's sleek design will impress Mister B. But it only gets a negative review from Mister B. Later, all the girls (except for Frankenstein and Helena Blavatsky) beat him up for his double standards, revealing him to be Blackbeard in disguise.
The racers soon enter the fourth area, which has breast-shaped hills. Artemis and her copies fire upon them, warning they cannot go through Artemis Valley as they please. She will allow them to pass if they can find the real Orion among his copies and return him to her. Nitocris and Scheherazade search with their summons, but they're having no luck finding the real Orion. An Orion gropes Nitocris and flees when she tries to catch him. Scheherazade tells her the story of Wardan, but Nitocris is confused about how the story's moral that bears have dangerous appetites will help them.
Afterward, the racers reach the final area, a bridge over a large ravine, with the Ishtar Temple at the finish line. Because they're going so fast, Scheherazade is scared that they're going to die. Nitocris encourages her to stay strong by saying it's like their vehicle is swinging around a huge weight, so if they stop too soon, they'll die. She's glad it worked, finding that the Sphinxology correspondence course she took was right that people can be convinced with any analogy if said with confidence. However, everyone is sent plummeting when someone cuts down the bridge.
====Summer Event: Death Jail Summer Escape====
The racers find themselves at the bottom of the ravine. They’re attacked by the Hessian Lobo security system, which overwhelms them. Medb then arrives and arrests the racers for placing weird textures on her land without permission. The racers fall unconscious and wake up in Medb’s prison. They find out that their powers are negated within prison. Medb tells the racers that she locked their vehicles up somewhere outside the prison after sensing a strange power from them. The racers are then brought to their cells, where they soon meet Ishtar’s avatars. They then encounter Carmilla working as a prison guard. Carmilla determines they're too weak to escape and opens their cells.
In the courtyard, the racers meet Gorgon, who's only brought out of solitary confinement, exercise. She agrees to tell them about the prison if they help with exercises. However, the fight is soon interrupted by Florence Nightingale, who leaves after Gorgons says none of them are injured. Minamoto-no-Raikou deduces Gorgon is a projection of her real self inside her cell. Gorgon confirms thus then reveals it's impossible to destroy the prison’s barrier from either the outside or the inside. However, the racers can take advantage of Medb’s overconfidence in her Prison Field to find blind spots to escape. Carmilla then brings the racers back to their cells.
The next day, the racers still haven’t found an escape route. They see Quetzalcoatl training other prisoners to be luchadors After some sparring, the racers are sent back to their cells. They then follow Ritsuka’s advice to dig their way out of the prison.
However, the racers' tunnels all converge onto Gorgon's cell, chained there by divine steel. Gorgon asks the racers to stop Nightingale from spraying her with reptile sanitizer. But the racers remind her that they were never friends and that she only used them to vent her frustrations. Gorgon replies that she'll help them if they defeat Nightingale. After Nightingale is defeated, Nero Claudius determines they can use Gorgon’s acid to clear any obstacles that bar them while digging. Since they had a deal, Gorgon spews acid into special containers for each team.
Unfortunately, while digging, they discover the Prison Field extends underground. They return to Gorgon's cell, who seems to be enjoying their predicament. After venting their frustrations, the racers realize they have no choice but to kill Medb to disable the Prison Field. Gorgon reveals there was another prisoner who tried escaping by killing Medb. She defeated them and revealed she has a conceptual weakness to projectile cheese. But Medb is always protected by her warriors. Gorgon reveals Medb always takes a shower in her warden’s office at the same time every day. James Moriarty, Thomas Edison, and Nikola Tesla point out they need someone intelligent as them and Babbage, who also knows the prison’s layout if they want to successfully snipe Medb from outside her bathroom window. Gorgon reveals there is a prisoner who knows everything about the prison, despite being in solitary confinement. She then gives the racers general directions to that person's cell.
They dig into the prisoner’s cell, who turns to be Enkidu in tight restraints. After Raikou cuts their restraints, Enkidu has the racers spar with them to see if they’re fully functional. Enkidu afterward then agrees to provide the racers with the necessary calculations. Carmilla arrives to feed them, and attacks everyone after seeing Enkidu unrestrained. After defeating Carmilla, Enkidu, Babbage, Edison, and Tesla make blueprints for their cheese-apult.
After building it with the materials Ritsuka provided, the racers use the cheese-apult to assassinate Medb while she’s in the shower. However, Medb kicks the cheese away thanks to training her body to automatically react to incoming cheese. Nitocris suspects Scheherazade is glad that Medb didn't die. Scheherazade confesses that in most circumstances witnessing another's death would be unpleasant for her as it would cause her to think of her own death. But that isn't the case with sniping. However, she understands she doesn't have the luxury of indifference since Medb's survival has a direct effect on their chances of living or dying. Enkidu reveals there is another way to remove the Prison Field, one only they know of. They reveal the control device for the Prison Field is a stone above the ground. The racers soon realize it’s in the statue of Medb in the courtyard. Enkidu then reveals there is a prisoner who is master of disguise that the racers can use to trick Quetzalcoatl into disabling the Prison Field. The racers then dig their way to the prisoner’s cell.
They arrive in the prisoner's cell, only to find Carmilla there to their shock. They fight her, but in the midst of it, she turns into Nightingale. After being defeated, she reveals herself to be Yan Qing in disguise. He agrees to disguise himself as Medb to trick Quetzalcoatl into disabling the Prison Field in exchange for fighting him. But Raikou has him sit in the corner and lectures him until he gets sore. Afterward, Yan Qing (disguised as Med) gets Quetzalcoatl to disable the barrier underground, allowing the racers to reach their vehicles in the warehouse.
The racers escape to the outside, where Medb and Quetzalcoatl confront them. Medb deflects shots from X's cheese blaster and decides to execute the racers, accusing them of covering Connacht with textures of another place. The racers defeat Medb and Quetzalcoatl, then return to the race once they disappear.
If Nitocris and Scheherazade, Artoria Alter damages the joint connecting the sun wheel to their vehicle with Secace Morgan. As it is their focal point of propulsion, Nitocris fears that they'll be unable to continue the race once the sun wheel falls off. But Scheherazade has an idea and tells Nitocris to speed up. Nitocris does so, and as she suspected, the sun wheel comes. But at that moment, Scheherazade summons the Genie of Lamp, who morphs into a ball and fits into the sun wheel's housing to replace the sun wheel.
After the race, however, an enormous storm moves toward the track as if it has a will of its own. Ishtar reveals this was her plan. Unbeknownst to the racers, their vehicles’ tires were carving magical energy into the Venus textures she placed on the land. She then reveals her temple to be a giant ATM called the Ishtar Quantum Power System. The racers confront her when the relics she had them install in their vehicle are suddenly removed. The relics converge at the Ishtar QPS, which gathers the magical energy expended in the race. At the same time, the relics were storing the heat created by the friction of the racers’ tires running across the Venus textures for each relic to reach an excited state. The purpose of all this was for Ishtar to create a new Gugalanna. After using the relics and the Ishtar QPS to do so, she declares she can use him to destroy the Singularity. Da Vinci points that would work, but it’d also destroy Connacht. The racers then fight Ishtar and Gugalanna before he’s completely formed, but they struggle against him. Quetzalcoatl then arrives to attack Gugalanna, revealing the her that disappeared before was Yan Qing in disguise. After she destroys Gugalanna, the racers and the race’s administrative staff get their picture taken by Georgios.
If Nitocris and Scheherazade won, Nitocris makes the talisman for Scheherezade as promised. She then wonders how to report her victory to Ozymandias without seeming either too excited or too disinterested. Ozymandias then appears and asks Nitocris how she feels about her victory. Nitocris answers that she is first and foremost glad that she didn't fail to live up to his expectations of her. But Ozymandias's silence makes her think that he is displeased. Ozymandias asks her why she doesn't rejoice. Nitocris answers it's because she struggled until the end when a pharaoh's victory should be certain. Ozymandias admits he knew that would happen, as what he truly wanted was to see how Nitocris felt after claiming victory herself. But Nitocris failed to meet his expectations, so Ozymandias orders her to try again. Nitocris then proudly declares her victory, pleasing Ozymandias.

===Swimsuit===
A mysterious being has appeared in Chaldea. That sacredness, that brilliance, who could this majestic figure be?! There appears to be some resemblance to a certain figure from , but...?Fate/Grand Order Profile of Nitocris (Swimsuit), translated by roadromancer at Reddit.
Nitocris, embarrassed by herself. Feeling deep shame in having acted with insolence around Pharaoh Ozymandias, "I can no longer show my face!", and so she has covered herself under her robes and assumed the guise of Medjed. However, there is some pride hidden in her heart as a Pharaoh. This is simply just embarrassment felt when she faces the other Pharaohs.
As she changed her outfit, for some reason, her Saint Graph transformed as well. Becoming one of the Assassin-class, her Noble Phantasm also changed but... the character is still the usual Nitocris herself. Quick to draw to conclusions, short-tempered, and absent-minded are still her usual patterns. A peaceful continuity of events.
Her attitude towards the Master hasn't changed. In any case, Nitocris views the Master as an "allied partner". By the way, if the Ishtar Cup is safely completed, "might as well make this sacred royal garment into a summer dress", is what Nitocris has been absentmindedly thinking but... by the time she realized, her outfit had changed according to her thoughts.
Whether this strange phenomenon will be discussed among the Chaldea staff as "Medjed's Benedictions", or whether it won't be discussed...

*Royal Road of the Hot Sands (A Rank): A skill derived from Imperial Privilege. With this skill, Nitocris has obtained close combat skills she shouldn’t have any future at. It’s possible that she came up with something after seeing Cleopatra's Pharaoh Martial Arts.

====Comment from Illustrator====
"There was a beautiful tanned Egyptian Pharaoh girl in the design plot, so I accepted to design her as soon as I knew this and crammed a bunch of Egyptian-like symbols on her. Hey, I personally thought I completed the design in a simple and well-coherent manner. As a matter of fact, in the middle of this work, there was a revision to the design of her third stage Ascension as her rarity was changed from a 3☆ into a 4☆, and at that time, I received a draft plan of her design from the director, so between you and me, it resulted in her third stage design as you see now. (The original design has little skin exposure.) However, she was blessed with a role in Chapter 6 of the story, and there was also the influence from 'Chaldea Radio' who Miss , the voice actress in charge of Nitocris, is responsible for, so she grew into a character loved by everyone, more than what I had thought; every time it becomes this topic, I believe that it is 'nice to be able to receive a design you can do.'"
"Since I started with the design of the first Ascension, I thought that the first impact would be important. But there’s too much impact in the first Ascension, so the second and third ones won’t be seen so much… I had that sense of uneasiness and was really nervous until she was implemented, but I felt so relieved to support so many people with the second and third ones. By the way, the first time I submitted the illustration for the final Ascension she wasn’t wearing it, so I was scolded by the president when they supervised it and made her wear it."
