I had to stand on the little platform in front of each [npc=159592] to get them to become interactable. If you are having trouble getting anything to light up or indicate that you can interact with it, stand directly in front of the mirrors as if you are looking into them and then try clicking on them.

This was indeed the first cleansing. I don't remember my character ever taking a bath before now.

What to do
Description
This situation may feel familiar, {name}. When you found Pelagos, he was undergoing a similar rite. As you saw, it can end in violence. This will be the first time you are asked to draw out the burdens that held you to a mortal life. It may be a painful process. It is for many. For you, this is the path you must walk to attain your goals. To earn the right to stand among us, to be heard. So we may carry your message to the Archon herself. Center yourself. When you are prepared, we will begin.
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.
- The Chamber of First Reflection
Ah, Athanos. It remains undefeated, as intended. Still, you have exceeded any expectation I might have had. You are stronger than many that have come before you. You have come here for a purpose, and Kleia has illuminated a path that she believes you can walk. I agree.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Archon's Answer
Your cleansing is complete, and you are whole. Our plan was a success. Undergoing such a rite, so soon after your arrival, has attracted Kalisthene's attention once more. Now is our opportunity to request an audience with the Archon. Stand before her and be proud of what you have accomplished.
