If you are having phasing issues and cannot see this boss - open a quest progression ticket and report your issue, if you get a good enough GM they will offer to log into your account and put you in the right phase, I have had phasing issues for around 2 months opening several tickets and finally they have fixed it today, practically. If GMs just say "report this bug" open another ticket and find a GM who will actually fix it for you, most likely by logging into your account.

Description
Before Borgal began to use the Soulgrinder, he used totems to bind spirits to his service. If we can get a few of those totems I may be able to use the spiritual connection he's forged with them to force a link. He'll be compelled to appear before us! Go find me a few of those totems and I might be able to pull this off, I think five should do it.
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.

That quest isn't bugged. You have a phasing "issue" only if you dropped the garrison campaign quest serie and went away. You just need to get back to the NPC to access the "shadow" world again, to be able to properly interact with the NPCs and elements. TL;DR: dropping quest chains and blindly stumble into quest zones is bad mmmkay. ;)

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cleansing the Souls
Not all spirits are destroyed by the Soulgrinder. Some souls manage to survive more or less intact like myself. Others have become twisted and maddened. End their misery, take my soul shard and use it to purify them.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Soulgrinder Survivor
It is time for Borgal to die. We must travel to a location of power where I have room for the ritual. There is a ruined tower to the northwest that will be perfect for this. Meet us there and place the totems in the areas of power you will find there.
