If you mount during this quest you lose the barrel.
So if you're anything like me and think the big metal guy in the back is the Greeter and not something you're supposed to drain, don't mount to go find others. Just suck him dry.
If you do mount, you can just pick up the barrel again.

To complete this quest you need to collect enough anima to fix the Greeter.
First, pick up a barrel that provided by npc in front of Kyrain Colossus, it allows you to store anima.
Now, interact to both Goliath Watchers and Kyrain Colossus to collect as much anima as needed.Pardon Our Dust - https://youtu.be/Tj_mJqIX8_M?t=84
There is a table covered by spoiler, you can check you progress through Eternity's Call quest sub-chain.

What to do
Description
Ah yes, the Greeter. It seems this Mnemis unit has been deactivated. Anima has been so scarce of late, and with no new souls entering our gates... I suppose it was a prudent measure. Anima is our most precious resource, after all. There are some centurions nearby. A portion of their anima could serve our needs. Ah! One of our most helpful stewards is here to lend her aid. She will guide you in the collection effort. Return when you have sufficient anima and we will power the Greeter once more.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Welcome to Eternity
Forgive my reaction. You see, the way from Oribos has been closed for quite some time. We did not know if it would ever open again. I welcome you, noble soul, to Bastion. Your deeds in life have earned you a most glorious fate! You are to become a kyrian, a winged bearer of the dead.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Fate Most Noble
Welcome, Worthy One! I am Greeter Mnemis. It is my duty and pleasure to assist you on this, your first day among the kyrian. Allow me to congratulate you. Your fate is reserved for the most noble of souls. Only those who lived a life of service may call Bastion home.
