| description = The ancient tome recovered by Captain Radlia of the Talons tells of a floating refuge─an island created by Mhachi sorcerers to provide safe haven from calamitous floodwaters. With the disaster that befell the Void Ark, however, the island's intended residents never arrived. Cait Sith is convinced that Diabolos has instead claimed this refuge as his own, transforming what was to be a bastion of hope into a voidsent nest of shadowy nightmare. And it is into this fiendish lair that you must delve. The Lady Radlia stands ready to bear you across the skies. Assault the island, reclaim the Nullstone, and cast your demonic foes into oblivion!

There are no walls on the left and right side of the ship so be careful not to fall off. Throughout the fight, the boss moves between these sides to attack you and make you fly off to your death.

===== First Half =====
The boss opens up with ''Void Death''. This is a large red-black, circle area of effect (AoE) at the center that pulls you in a couple times. You must keep running away from it or anyone caught in it dies.

Next, it casts ''Void Aero II'' and marks three players with green spread markers. Go to a place away from everyone to place the tornado. Anyone walking into the tornado will get hurt by Biting Wind, which gives you small damage and the {{status effect|windburn}} '''[[Windburn]]''' debuff. Windburn can be removed with {{action icon|Esuna}}.

When the boss casts ''Void Blizzard II'', avoid the fan AoE by going to either side or on the safe spots in between. If you don’t, you receive a large amount of damage from ''Void Blizzard III'' and get the {{status effect|frostbite}} '''[[Frostbite (status effect)|Frostbite]]''' debuff. Frostbite can be removed with {{action icon|Esuna}}

Throughout the fight, the boss casts ''Doomsay'' which randomly gives {{status effect|doom}} '''[[Doom (status effect)|Doom]]''' to one to two players. [[Healer]]s must use {{action icon|Esuna}} to remove them or they will die when the countdown ends.
[[File:Winddirection-voidaeroiii.png|thumb|Aero III wind direction|200px|left]]
If the boss casts ''Void Aero III'', immediately get close to either purple walls on the top and bottom of the ship. A green circular wind will appear in the center that causes proximity-based damage and knockback, so make sure you aren’t too close to it or you may die from damage. If you aren’t against a wall, you may fly off to your death.'''''NOTE''''': The wind makes you fly in a straight line from the center, so you must be perpendicular to the purple wall to fly into it. See the image on the left to see the direction of where the wind blows.
[[File:Standingposition-voidveroiv.png|thumb|Where to stand for Blizzard IV|200px|left]]
When ''Void Blizzard IV'' is cast, stand directly opposite of either proximity markers and take the damage. Ice blocks are dropped where the marker is located, and the boss immediately casts ''Void Aero IV''. If you try to stand where you take the least amount of damage from the proximity marker, you might not have enough time to get to the ice block. If you stand where the opposite side of the ice block was located, you will fly to the block when ''Void Aero IV'' is cast, blocking you from falling off. Anyone who didn’t fly into the block will fall to their deaths.
'''''NOTE''''': You can also use {{action icon|Surecast}} or {{action icon|Arm's Length}} to stop you from flying off, but make sure to time it right because you only have a five or six-second duration.

===== Second Half =====
In the latter half, everything repeats with some differences.

The boss casts ''Doomsay'' more often, and only one proximity marker is placed on the floor when the boss casts ''Void Blizzard IV''.

After ''Void Aero III'' is cast, the boss immediately flies right beside a purple wall and casts ''Bolt of Darkness.'' The boss shoots out a large, column AoE across the ship while the green wind on the center from ''Void Aero III'' blows people away. ''Bolt of Darkness'' gives you {{status effect|bleed}} '''[[Bleed]]''', which can be removed with {{item icon|Esuna}}. If you can, go to the purple wall where the boss isn’t next to, to avoid ''Bolt of Darkness''.

Make sure to kill the two Void Sprites that spawn randomly. Avoid their cone AoE when they cast ''Dark II''.

Since the beginning of the fight, the boss places random gray squares on the ship’s floor. In this half, the boss finally uses ''Void Death IV'', which makes the squares pulse. Anyone standing on them when the cast is done, dies.

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|link=]] [[Ferdiad Hollow]]===
Throughout the fight, the boss marks 3 players with red target markers and throws Abyssal Scythes at them. The scythes stay on the ground, dealing damage to anyone close to them and gives Flesh Wound, which can be removed using {{action icon|Esuna}}. If you are targeted, go to a place away from other players until the boss throws the scythes at you.

The boss has two mechanics that you need to watch out for: ''Wormhole'' and ''Debilitator''.

For ''Wormhole'', look at what is being tethered to the Atomos and what color the tethered Atomos is. If the Atomos is tethered to a yellow ring, stand right below the other same-colored Atomos to avoid the room-wide donut AoE and a stack of {{status effect|vulnerability up}} [[Vulnerability Up]]. If the Atomos is tethered to a blue ball, avoid the other same-colored Atomos to avoid the large circle AoE surrounding it and a stack of {{status effect|vulnerability up}} [[Vulnerability Up]]. At the beginning of the fight, only one Atomos is tethered. Later, two Atomos are tethered. If two Atomos are tethered to blue balls, the safe spot is always at the perpendicular area between them. Try to avoid the center where the two AoEs overlap or you will die. If one is tethered to a yellow ring and the other a blue ball, always stand below the other same-colored Atomos that was tethered to the yellow ring.

For ''Debilitator'', the boss places a debuff on everyone making you weak to either fire or water and spawns several blue and red puddles throughout the room. All the puddles have to be the opposite of what you are debuffed with by stepping on the puddle to change the color. If you are debuffed with Water Resistance Down II, all the puddles must be red. If you are debuffed with Fire Resistance Down II, all the puddles must be blue. Afterwards, Feridad casts ''Flameflow'' and deals room-wide damage based on how many puddles are the wrong color.

At around 60% health, the boss goes to the middle of the room and becomes untargetable. Several Wailing Atomos are spawned around him. Avoid the front of the Atomos as they shoot Feridad’s Fools from their mouths. Anyone in front of the Atomos gets hit and receives a stack of {{status effect|vulnerability up}} [[Vulnerability Up]].
Kill the adds and avoid looking at one of the Feridads that cast ''Petrifying Eye'', a gaze marker giving anyone looking at its direction {{status effect|petrification}} [[Petrification]]. Afterwards, Atomos spawns around the edge of the room and at the center. The Feridads cast ''Lucky Pierrot'' in which they dash to the Atomos at the edge and transport back out from the center dealing damage to anyone in the way. At the same time, a Feridad casts ''Icefall'' which leaves a circular AoE under a player. After the transport, the boss casts ''Jester’s Reward'', an AoE that covers half of the room. Anyone caught in the AoE will die. If the adds aren’t all killed, Atomos spawns again to transport the Feridads.
After all the adds are killed, the boss hits everyone with an unavoidable room-wide damage, Jester’s Jig .
