You have to connect and pull the rifts like pulling roots, also while avoiding puddles.

I feel like some of these quests are becoming more and more opaque in telling what you need to do.
I thought this was a "click and wait" quest for a hot minute but you have to walk away and avoid the swirls.

What to do
Description
It doesn't matter how many of these void monstrosities we kill. We have to deal with the source, or they'll just keep coming. Traveling across the rift is not an easy feat in the best of times. If we can find the places where they've been able to tear through and close them, then we should be able to cut off their reinforcements. Lead the way. I'll be at your back the entire time.
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.
- Chaos Control
These are no mere embodiments of Void. They move with precision and purpose. They have taken up a defensive position within the Tremaculum. No doubt they intend to expand their presence and shore up their defenses, now that they have a foothold. All the better.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Long Vigil
If you and Arator desire something of me, it will have to wait. There are souls here that require my attention, assuming your bumbling hasn't driven them off. I've managed to track four souls that fell into the Maw without proper judgment.
