If you are having a hard time finding the final beacon because of the ice storm, there is a path way to a higher ground on the right side of the Portal to the Forgotten Depths. Follow it and you will find the final beacon.
You will also deliver the quest to the npc near.

Description

We still hold the element of surprise, which gives us a moment to fortify our position. While Y'mera opens a more stable travel network for the rest of our forces, our scouts have gone ahead to survey the terrain. Meet with them in the field and activate our surveillance beacons. I will remain here to cover the arrival of our reinforcements.

Where to go

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.

  • Through the Cold RiftLevel 80-90

    The Legion keystone and the dark particles you found gave us a needle in the endless, vast haystack of the Twisting Nether. With the Cynosure of Twilight, the artifact used to open the way to the Voidstorm, we can thread this needle and open a rift to our enemy's doorstep.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Through the Mana RiftLevel 80-90

    The energy from the Hal'hadar battery core and dark particles allowed us to piece together a faint trail of nether energy. With the Cynosure of Twilight, we can illuminate and ignite this trail, taking us directly to our enemy's doorstep. The anchors are in place and my riftwalkers await your move.
