He hits like a grandma, you pretty much don't need to dodge anything.

Only mechanic I see is to destroy the globes.

The fight just takes forever...

Also, I do not understand this twist in the story at all and how it happened...

Edit: My understanding is it's another one of those cases where you have to read a book to understand the story.

Yes, you will need to defeat Argus to 0%. It's not that difficult.
1. standard normal damage phase (Argus doesnt really hit hard)
2. avoid frontal [spell=364643] (easy since it has a cast time)
3. when one spawns, switch and destroy the [npc=184338]
4. you can interrupt the [spell=364647] so you don't get damaged from the radius growing hatred

The nathrezim's corruption of Argus' soul caused it to travel to the Shadowlands after he was killed at the Seat. The soul crashed into the Arbiter in Oribos and rendered her dormant, causing all new souls entering the Shadowlands to flow directly into the Maw instead of being sorted to their rightful afterlives, which in turn set off a chain of events playing into the long-term plans of the Jailer. So he was the reason the Arbiter was dormant.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • As ForetoldZereth Mortis · Level 60

    The spheres are in place. A melody builds. Go--bring forth the chorus of Scryers, that the cycle of rebirth may begin.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Turning PointZereth Mortis · Level 60

    A pause, devoid of breath. A melody lingers on. The cycle awaits a voice. <You are unsure of what Saezurah means. Perhaps you should try to set up the ritual again, starting with the Vessel and the scryers.>
