If someone does not give up the quest, cancel it during the animation of reading the anima and take it again. It helped me.
Если у кого-то не сдаётся задание - отмените его во время анимации считывания анимы и возьмите заново. Мне помогло.

Description

The Jailer has gained another sigil, and his forces actively assault Oribos. Bolvar Fordragon and Draka of Maldraxxus suggest taking the fight to the Jailer. To do so, we need a way for their forces to safely come and go from the Maw. This was considered impossible before you arrived, but now I believe we have a chance. I must examine your anima to see if this is truly what the Purpose wills.

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.

    The Fatescribe is certain that a second waystone has emerged in the Maw. It falls to you to locate it. I will create an anchor here in Oribos that links to your anima. Once you attune yourself to the waystone, this anchor will be bound to it.
