If you're stuck at the stairs, head east towards the entrance of this area and follow the rock wall. A ramp is formed. Walk up it. Jump to the stairs and walk up the railing.

While doing this quest I was queued for a Mythic. I left to do the Mythic and now I can't figure out how to return to the floating island. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to do this quest and I'm stuck trying to pass the stairs. I have 5/6 portals closed and the 1st boss defeated. An invisible wall is preventing me from going up the stairs. I have war mode on and seeing other players run into the same issue.

What to do
Description
These turncoats have kept busy. They've opened more portals around the area, allowing themselves to replenish their numbers with little trouble. Even with her might, the Paragon cannot eliminate an endless army. Let us destroy these portals. Without reinforcements to sustain this contingent, it will surely fall.
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.
- Aerial Absolution
My kyrian would have attempted to retaliate by now, but these vile interlopers are a devious sort. Their necromancers pollute the air, tainting it with foul power that corrodes our very wings. I cannot advance an assault until they are eradicated.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Wipe the Slate Clean
At last, the skies belong to us once more... and in those skies, the storm of our vengeance brews. Come, you who claim to be true Maldraxxi. You wish to right the wrongs of those you once called allies? Rain your justice upon them! Show no quarter!
