If you take an LFG queue, leave the area or lose you Linx [npc=226088] , then you need to go back to this way point and get the buff again. [spell=455040]
There are three versions of the Lynx:
/way Hallowfall 66.93 63.48 Lynx - Twinkle
/way Hallowfall 64.75 60.66 Lynx - Gustavo
/way Hallowfall 68.79 65.90 Lynx - Prickles
This will give you the buff, so the Lynx can stop theew [npc=224922] does't dematerialize before you're able to kill them.
You can press the extra action button every 15 seconds, you do NOT need to try to wait for the cast. Just keep it on Cooldown to prevent the mob from dematerializing.

Where to go

  2. 2Special Assignment: Lynx Rescue

Step 2 of 2. Chain order is read from the prerequisite data in the current retail client build, so it reflects what the game requires, not a curated storyline. A step the build does not name is kept in place, unnamed, so the sequence stays complete.
