"Behold, my brothers, our most powerful fleet that the Black Swordsman has bestowed upon us. With this fleet, we can finally lay waste to the so-called Lightbearers and corrupt the Great Machine to serve our purpose: ushering in a new era of power."

— Kotrik to his followers

Shadowship Nitrix-Fel, also known as the Ketch of Kotrik, is a massive Fallen Ship located in various realms of the Isle of the Lost on Earth, including Kotrik's Keep, Inferno, and the Den of the Lost; in various realms of Aincrad, including the Monument of Shadows; and in the Tangled Shore and Dreaming City on the Reef. It serves as both the flagship of the Fallen House of Shadows and the personal ship of their Kell, Kotrik.

It is first seen in the Mission Future in Darkness and was stationed above the ruins of The Last City as the Black Fleet, led by The Guardian, The Black Swordsman, and The White Angel, launched a high-stakes invasion that killed countless civilians and Guardians, including Zavala. It later reappears in the missions Shadows of the Night and Divided We Fall, where it can be seen in the distance above the Shadows' main bases.

While it is mainly accessible during the Fallen Bloodcrafter Shadow Hunt Mission, there have been numerous sightings of the ship across certain realms within Aincrad.

History

The Second Collapse

Following the events of Lightfall, the House of Shadows deployed the Ketch when the Black Fleet launched a devastating full-scale attack against Zavala and countless forces of the Last City and gained access to an ancient site housing the Crux of Darkness that granted them the powers of Darkness itself with the motivation of weakening the Traveler and destroying the Light so that the Fallen can rebuild their civilization with the Darkness.

Gameplay

Guardians enter the Ship via a "Lift Field Distortion" as quoted by Nagihiko and you are brought to a room that overlooks the surface of Aincrad.

Points of Interest

• Unlike most Ketches, this ship has three Pilot Servitors that can be seen in one of the main rooms that you enter.
• Outside on the side of the ship, the House of Shadows insignia can be seen, marking the 4th time that this unique feature had appeared among Fallen ships.
  • There are also Shadows banners in and around the Ketch.

Trivia

• Despite the Shadowship Nitrix-Fel being implied to be a Ketch, it has a very unique appearance that many would consider very abnormal amongst Fallen engineering.
  • This could be that the ship is either a Ketch modified by tech from the Shadowkeepers, or a ship modified to Fallen standards in order for it to be called a Ketch.
• The ship bears a similar resemblance to the Brünhild from Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
• Mallory described the ship as some type of fleet rumored to have been engineered by the Darkness itself.
• Although it was built to Fallen standards, the Shadowkeepers were seen entering the Shadowship Nitrix-Fel moments before Earth became enshrouded by the Darkness.
