“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!— In-game description
Dun Scaith is a level 60 raid introduced in patch 3.5 with Heavensward. It is the third part of Shadow of Mhach.

Bosses
Deathgaze Hollow
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 
Windburn debuff. Windburn can be removed with 
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 
Frostbite debuff. Frostbite can be removed with Esuna
Throughout the fight, the boss casts Doomsay which randomly gives 
Doom to one to two players. Healers must use Esuna to remove them or they will die when the countdown ends.
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.
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 
Surecast or 
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 
Bleed, which can be removed with 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.

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 the Wind debuff. 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 Vulnerability. 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 Vulnerability. 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 may die. See the image on the right for an example. 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. 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 opposite of the debuff placed on you.
- Wormhole: Shoots a ball in a straight line into the tethered Atmos. The tethered ones disappear after the cast, transferring their balls to a same-colored Atmos.
- Jester's Reap: Big cone AoE in front of the boss.
- Jongleur's X: Tankbuster.
- Blackblot: Marks a target. Others should stack on the targeted player to share damage.
- Blackfire: AoEs will cover the arena. Those become gradually bigger as the cast progresses.
- Debilitator: Reduces all players' weakness to fire or water, and spawns various puddles on the floor. Stepping on a puddle changes its element (blue = water, red = fire). The boss will cast Flameflow after a while.
- Players should change puddles' element to the one contrary to their weakness - if you have fire weakness, change puddles to blue (water).
- Flameflow: Deals damage to all players. Damage can be reduced by avoiding puddles of the same element of the group weakness.
- At around 60% health, the boss will go to the middle of the room and become untargetable, spawning Atmos around him which mobs will shot from them.
- Anyone in front of the Atmos will take damage and a stack of vulnerability.
- From time to time, the boss will cover a half of the arena with a long-cast AoE. It will kill any players standing on that side when the cast finishes.
- The adds will either cast:
- Lucky Pierrot: Atmos will spawn around the edges of the room, and adds will dash to them, dealing damage to anyone on the way. The adds will reappear from the Atmos in the center, dealing damage to players nearby.
- Icafall: Small AoEs.
- After the adds are killed, the boss will deal damage to all players.
Scathach
- Thirty thorns: Untelegraphed three part tank buster, followed by an aoe.
- Shadespin: Wings get big and do an hourglass aoe in the direction they are facing, get between the wings, right behind or in front her to avoid damage. Boss direction doesn't matter.
- When she jumps or dashes she will do an aoe that is larger than her hitbox shortly after, get away from her.
- When message: "Shadows gather on the floor" appears and the room turns dark stop all movement, otherwise shadows grab you slowing your movement and inflicting a bleed.
- Shadethrust: Occasionally she will turn toward party and do line aoe, sidestep it.
- Connla add: needs to be grabbed by an offtank and killed away from Scathach, if it gets close they tether and buff her. If left alive it wipes the raid.
- Nox orbs: Circular red and black marker will be put on some players. Affected players should bait the orbs away from group by constantly moving away from other players.
- Shadow Limbs (giant hands): link to a player and follows them, if it reaches the players it kills them. The tethered player can face the Shadow Limb to stop their movement. The Limbs must be killed, they can switch tethers to a different player.
- At 50%, Scathach will enter a cocoon and spawn adds, including a Chimera with the typical Chimera moveset, these can be interrupted.
- These adds must be killed, or she will wipe upon emerging from the cocoon.
