Never done this before? Start the fight, kill the adds. To the left or right of the arena, up the ramps, a glowing yellow orb will spawn. Collect it and continue along the platform. You can use abilities while carrying the orb. Kill the growths that slow you until you reach the socket at the end. Put the orb into the socket. A big laser of titanic light will blast down in the centre of the arena. Ghuun will emerge after a bit. Attack him. He'll shield at one point with an ability that "collapses" the room. Ignore it, it won't last. That's basically it.

Abilities & Strategy
Overview
G'huun begins the encounter encased within the chamber's wall, calling forth minions to assault his foes. To dislodge him from his lair, the Reorigination Drive must be fully charged by depositing Power Matrices within it. Once active, G'huun begins his assult in earnest. G'huun can be stalled by continuing to power up the Reorigination Drive, causing Reorigination Blasts to weaken him. Upon reaching low health, G'huun unleashes his might, destroying the Reorigination Drive, preventing the use of Reorigination Blasts.
