Once you get to the last stage, DON'T nuke Kathra'natir, dps him slowly (or just auto attack).
If you nuke him to 1% too fast, not only you won't be able to use Nightborne Soulstone, but - at least in my case - not even combat reset helped.Only restarting the scenario helped.

Doing this in Legion Remix: it is possible to enter the Nexus building at the wrong level (bottom level is wrong), and then be confused about what to do. Archmage Vargoth keeps saying: "We made it! Kathra'natir is inside, just ahead." But there's nothing to find at the bottom level, and the portal to what's usually the Nexus instance is blocked.
If you're at the very bottom level, you have to follow the curving "stairs" all the way up. There are TWO platforms above the bottom level. Kathra'natir is on the top one.
Seems to require completing The Might of the Tirisgarde before you'll be offered this quest. I couldn't get it to appear, but got it immediately after I turned in 'The Might of Tirisgarde'.

What to do
Description
I fear Kathra'natir is behind the attack on Meryl. We have little time to act. I suspect Archmage Vargoth's involvement is no coincidence. While it greatly pains me to destroy an archmage of his caliber and worse, someone I once called friend, we cannot permit his betrayal to stand unpunished. It is time to follow him into the Oculus.
