In this fight you do not fight the eye directly. Instead you are helping by killing the eye's helpers.
Running over one of the spears that appear on the ground give you an action button. Click it and one of
the eye's helpers get pulled down to the ground. After killing some [3 or 4? I didn't keep count. :-(], the eye
flees and the fight is over.While fighting the eye's helpers you are attacked-- a swirl will appear below you. Run out of it to avoid damage.

After dying twice in this fight, I tried DPSing the eye down. After a long time, the cinematic poped and the quest was over. I suppose you could probably just run around on the platform and not do a thing to complete this quest.
If you get hit with the attack that summons copies of you that shoot you with beams, you can walk over said copies to absorb them. Otherwise they'll burn you down pretty quickly.

What to do
Description
The combination of grief and rage you have harvested is sufficient for your needs. Most likely. If you insist on seeing this ill-advised endeavor through, use the horn at the Terminus Platform, where the River of Souls flows upward to Torghast. The energies there are most potent indeed. The presence of your golden allies should draw the Jailer's Eye. I only hope this does not prove to be the end of you. I hate to see an investment wasted.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Tears of the Damned
To anchor the instrument to the Maw and make it capable of the effect you seek, it must be imbued with the raw, unfiltered agony endured by the souls trapped in this cursed prison. Sorrow is abundant here, and therefore simple to obtain. You need only travel to Gorgoa.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Good News, Everyone!
Come, friend. Let us be rid of this foul place. No doubt your comrades will be eager to hear the news of the defeat of the Eye. I will bear you to them. Give the word when you are ready to depart, <name>.
