After a few tries I finally finished this quest, with 90% health remaining. Video link: https://youtu.be/eB9L5fdlT_A
Before the fight
- Select Palegos as your soulbind
- Speak to equipment manager to the left and equip the boots
- Select your enemy from the mirror
- Ring the bell to enter the fighting ground
During the fight
- Use [2] to root Kalisthene in place
- Use [1] to hit Kalisthene (this is a channelling spell)
- Use [3] and run through the right-most image for a invulnerability buff
- When rooted by the spear, use [5] on CD; run around the poles to LOS Kalisthene when waiting for CD
- Use [4] when safe
- When Kalisthene is up in the air, avoid large light golden circles on the ground. You'll need to run out of ~10 of them. Wait for her to land and repeat 1-5
Worst quest EVER

Worst quest EVER
I didn't find this especially easy even with the boots, although that may be because I habitually play melee so am not great at keeping my distance, stopping to cast etc.
Remember to use the stun ability (2) on CD and hit her with the main damage ability (1) when she is stunned.
On the buff ability (3), each split of Pelegos gives a different buff. If you know the floating attack is incoming, use the shield to absorb it all, otherwise I tended to go for the speed buff just to keep at range.
Others may have better suggestions here, good luck!

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.

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.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Elysian Hold, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.
Flight points closest to the quest’s turn-in marker on Elysian Hold:
Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.

I can aid you in crafting many pieces of equipment for your soulbinds. Though they may only equip one at a time, each piece grants a new ability that they may not have without it. This time you must source your own materials from around the Shadowlands.
The Path of Ascension has 8 steps, from The Path of Ascension to Overcoming the Trial.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Bastion (6), Elysian Hold (2).
