You need to go up on the elevator to kill the boss ontop of the tower. Once you kill the boss before the pathway of fire, use the turrets to kill the adds. Go back down and click on the cog to light the fire. There is a cut scene so make sure you can watch it. It gives you a hint about the final boss.
