Temporary notes, please clean up with proper names and such:
Haven't seen a guide up yet but I ran it last night after the patch and here's my notes if anyone wants to use them. I left out some obvious aoe dodges but I think I got all of it. I'm sure you guys will find other things.
Deathgaze Hollow
- Void Doom: Red/Black AOE in center will pull you in, keep running away from it, as it will try to pull you in again a second time, then explode for massive damage.
- Doom is randomly cast on 2 people, must be cleansed by healers.
- Void Aero II: Random players will be marked with a green icon over head and will drop a tornado after the boss finishes the cast. Drop these away from others and towards edges of ship.
- Void Blizzard II: Big cone AoE with safe cone spots.
- Void Aero III: Green AoE in center will explode and push you away, dealing proximity-based damage. Either stay in the center to avoid the knockback (big damage), or run to the walls that block the boss area. Please note that after a certain point in the battle, the boss will fly to a section of the room and cast Bolt of Darkness.
- Bolt of Darkness: Perpendicular AoE, deals damage and applies Bleeding to players affected.
- Void Blizzard IV: Two AoEs will appear, dealing proximity-based damage and dropping ice crystals in the center of the area. After they fall, the boss will cast Void Aero IV.
- Void Aero IV: Boss will appear in one side of the arena and push players. Line with a crystal dropped from Void Blizzard IV to avoid falling off.
- As the battle progresses, gray square will appear on the floor. Those will deal damage to anyone standing on them when the boss casts Void Death IV.
- Void Death IV: Instantly kills any player standing on a gray square.

Lore
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.
