Head to Tomb of the Confessors to speak with Squad Leader Bennett, easiest method is to go to Soulkeeper's Airship Waypoint in Pride of the Pact and drop down. After speaking to Bennett, head to Bloodstone Maw and drop down the crater to the instance entrance. Inside the instance, you will be ambushed just past where you zone in; dispatch the White Mantle, then glide down the Cavern of Unseen Lights towards the center. If you miss landing on the floating platform while gliding, there are two updrafts and bouncing mushrooms nearby to take you there. Once on the platform, interact with the pedestal in the center. After a dialogue, head down to the ground and head to the three starbursts, where you'll have short fights with foes before you can pick up bloodstone fragments. After the first three fragments are collected, three more starbursts will appear on the map for more fragments and fights. Once the sixth and final fragment has been collected, another White Mantle ambush will occur. Once these White Mantle are defeated, use the updrafts or bouncing mushrooms to reach the central platform again and witness a cinematic. After the cinematic, glide down to talk to the Shining Blade Paratrooper and complete the mission.
