For those confused about how to activate the skip (like I was)
You have to kill the first boss, then you have to clear all the trash on the bridge straight after. You can activate the skip by speaking to Bolvar when they make their way across the bridge where the flight stone is.
Bolvar and co will say some rp lines before doing this and stand around doing nothing for a hot minute, so this only added to my confusion. You just have to have some patience and wait until they move.If you've already gone ahead and skip the bridge trash flying straight to Anduin, like I did, once you realize that's not how you do it and you fly back across - the NPCs may appear at the end of the bridge then despawn again which makes activating the skip not possible anymore.. since they don't seem to come back again ever.. even after clearing trash on the bridge.. very annoying in my case.

Description
Anduin's blade is a powerful conduit for The Jailer. If we claim fragments of this weapon, I'll be able to open a pathway directly to the boy king. Four fragments should be enough. With these, we can break the Jailer's hold on Anduin for good.
Getting there
Inside the raid: Sepulcher of the First Ones
The Jailer has breached the Sepulcher, the mysterious heart of the Shadowlands. Should he control its primordial power, he will reshape the cosmos with Death at the fore. As Zovaal prepares to dominate reality, champions of Azeroth charge forth to stop him. Will their resolve outmatch his?
Bosses in the Adventure Guide, in order: Vigilant Guardian, Skolex, the Insatiable Ravener, Artificer Xy'mox, Dausegne, the Fallen Oracle, Prototype Pantheon, Lihuvim, Principal Architect, Halondrus the Reclaimer, Anduin Wrynn, Lords of Dread, Rygelon, The Jailer.
