* Void Blizzard IV- Proximity markers will spawn on one end of the platform and giant icicles will appear. Deathgaze will disappear and appear on the other side of the platform. The boss will then use Void Aero IV and try to blow players off, but players will need to position themselves so they're blown into the icicles.
* Bolt of Darkness- Paired with Void Aero III, the boss will disappear and reappear on one side of the platform and anyone on the same side of the boss will get a Bleed debuff.
* Void Death IV- During the fight black squares will appear all along the arena, and when he casts this spell, any players caught on the square will die immediately.

A circle arena with Ferdiad at the center, surprised to see the adventurers make it this far Ferdiad welcomes his guests and the battle begins.
* Black Wind- A red marker will target random players, and will be hit with a blue spinning scythe, it will continuously deal damage to anyone within its range.
* Wormhole- Ferdiad will move to the center stage and summon Atomos enemies. He will send a blue orb or a yellow donut shaped one into an Atomos and out one of the same color. Players must avoid the blue ball as its a large AoE, and for the yellow one players need to stand under.
* Jester's Reap- A conal AoE in front of the boss.
* Jongleur's X- Tankbuster
* Debilitator-Players will get a fire or water resistance down debuff and blue/red circles will appear on the ground. Players will need to make the circles the opposite of their debuff to reduce the damage of Flameflow/Waterflow

* Blackbolt- Players must stack for this.
once at 60% the boss will move to the middle of the arena and go invulnerable, here players will have to deal with Ferdiad's Fools to make the boss vulnerable again. After all enemies are defeated the boss will use Jester's Jig to attack the party.

After two more flare stars the boss will shoot a laser through the middle of the arena and summon three Allagan Dreadnaughts. Here it will cast Supernova with raid wide damage, after he will summon Proto Bits that form donut AoE's. The boss will disappear once more, and let down three Aether Collector's that need to be destroyed or the party wipes.

Here the alliance enters the queen's domain where the boss Queen Scathach awaits them.
* Thirty Arrows- A player will be marked with a circle AoE and then a cross pattern will appear.
* Shadespin- Arms will protrude from the back of the boss and players will need to stand directly behind or in front of her to avoid a vulnerability debuff.
throughout the fight the boss will darken the arena and an alliance will be dragged down by shadowy limbs, players cannot move or they will take extra damage. Once under 70% the boss will summon Connla, an add that will need to be kept away from the boss and killed quickly or the party will wipe.
* Shadethrust- The boss will turn to face a player and throw out shadowy limbs. Anyone caught in it will get a vulnerability debuff.
Shadow limbs will appear and tether to two players, they need to look at the limbs to stop them from KO'ing them. After this the boss will move to the center of the arena and go invulnerable, here players need to fight all sorts of enemies before the boss's aether bar fills up. Once the enemies are defeated the boss will use Blinding Shadow, and deal massive damage to the party.
==== Lunar ====
With the defeat of the Shadow Queen Diabolos congratulates the adventurers, and sends them up to the roof of the palace to challenge them once more. A bit into the fight Diabolos will summon Deathgates to summon Hellhound enemies.
* Nightmare- Lookaway from the boss
* Ruinous Omen- Diabolos will amass a giant shadow ball and plunge it into the arena dealing moderate damage to everyone.
* Night Terror- Stack marker.
* Ultimate Terror- A invisible donut AoE, only safe spots are directly under the boss or far away from him.
Once under 40% he will leave and try to destroy the party by drawing power from a Lifegate, the party needs to keep draining its health to prevent Diabolos from wiping the party.
As the party deflects his orb back at him, he returns and fuses Scathach's power with his and turns into Diabolos Hollow, here players need to keep attacking him and he will begin taking damage again. Successfully reaching this phase will allow the raid to reset from here rather than having to repeat the first phase in the event of a wipe.
* Hollow Camisado- Hard hitting tank buster.
* Shadethrust-Similar to Scathach's attack, a line AoE.
* Nox- Two players will be marked with red orbs they will need to run away from the party and quickly as a giant falling ball will keep chasing them.
Diabolos will summon two Deathgates and a Diabolic Gate, one alliance will have to enter the middle gate to deal with the enemy inside, and the other alliances need to take the other two down, or enemies will appear.
* Pavor Inanis- Raid wide AoE damage.
* Hollow Night- Stack marker with a look away mechanic, one player will be marked with it and the rest of the party must stack with them and look away from the player to avoid Hysteria
