For those who can't get west power crystal to work out :
Click on the power crystal to redirect the beam to the first crystal located at 43.2 / 30.8.
Click on that crystal until it *seems* to send the beam back to the power crystal you activated at the beginning (actually that beam is bugged and invisible : mouse over the last crystal and you will notice it now can be activated).
Then click on the last crystal to activate the obelisk :-)
Crystal @ 43,2, 30,8 has one position where Beam is not visible - this one is the correct one even tho you cant see the beam. You know you're in the right setting if you can click the crystal at 43,1, 28.5

Description
Gaining entrance to the Sepulcher is no easy feat, {name}! Not only were guardians put in place, but an elaborate magical lock was created to seal the door. To open the way, the two obelisks which control the lock must be fed anima. Fortunately, there are some empowered crystals in the area we can use for this purpose. Locate the focus crystals and redirect their anima flow into the obelisks. Then the secrets of the Sepulcher will soon be ours!

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.
- Kill Them, Of Course
These mindless monstrosities hail from the farthest reaches of the Shadowlands. The anima drought has fueled their relentless hunger, driving them to seek new sources. Their presence here is inconvenient, to put it mildly. They tear at the land searching for any anima they can find.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Secrets Among the Shelves
Now that the door to the Sepulcher is unlocked, we can venture inside. And by "we", I mean "you". Until it's safe, at least. The volumes within contain the collected wisdom of the greatest military minds of Maldraxxus.
