This quest begins automatically after completing Empty Abode.
Investigate the seal at the top of the tower
From the Teleport Waypoint, walk through the glowing pyramidal icon called a light piece. It follows you automatically.
Continue around the circle platform. When you approach the light actuator, the light piece automatically applies to the actuator.
Talk to Venti
Return to the group on the other side of the circle platform and interact with Venti. He mentions that three more seals need to be broken in order to reach Stormterror.
Break the seal in Stormterror’s Lair
Seal #1: To reach the westernmost seal, climb up into the opening by the light actuator.
Look out to the west to see a light actuator in the middle of a circular cobblestone walk.
Glide down to the actuator. Be sure to grab the nearby Teleport Waypoint while you’re here.
Unlike the first actuator, you need to grab three light pieces to activate this light actuator.
Follow around the circular walk to grab all three of the light pieces, then run toward the light actuator. This locks the light actuator and prompts a fight with an Abyss Mage and some cronies.
Defeat them to unlock the light actuator, then apply the light pieces you have. This breaks the first of the three seals.
Seal #2: From the first seal, run northerly toward the location of the second light actuator.
This time around, the three light pieces appear away from the actuator. Keep heading north, grabbing the nearby Teleport Waypoint, and climb up into the open ruins.
The first light piece is guarded by a group of hilichurls. Defeat them to unlock the nearby chest. Then, break the boxes to the right of the chest to find this light pyramid.
The second light piece is blocked by a short barrier. To get to it, climb a pillar next to it.
Then, glide directly over the light piece so that you glide down inside the circular barrier.
Once you collect this light piece, the barrier around you disappears.
The third light piece is up a couple sets of stairs to the west of the second light piece.
After climbing the stairs, find the light piece glowing out from under some rubble. Two Geo Slimes attack you.
Defeat the slimes. Then, attack the rubble to break it and collect the third light piece.
Head southeast out of the broken ruins to the light actuator. You can glide down to the light actuator from the ruins.
Approach the light actuator, and the three light pieces automatically interact with the actuator. This breaksthe second seal.
Seal #3: From the second seal, head east-by-southeast until you find a bunch of standing pillars.
In between those pillars are three wind gusts in a row. These wind gusts turn on and off. The only one you can reach at ground level is the one in the middle, labeled 2.
Glide up the middle wind gust when it activates, then glide to the wind gust on your right. At the top of your ascent, glide over to the first light piece sitting on the top of a pillar.
Jump back into the wind gust you just left. Glide your way back to the middle gust and then to the wind gust on the left. At the top of that ascent, glide over to the top of the pillar to grab the second light piece.
The third light piece sits near the third actuator. Jump off the pillar and glide to the light actuator. Be sure to grab the nearby Teleport Waypoint before you leave the area.
Grab the third light piece and apply them to the light actuator.
Doing so completes the Light Guiding Ceremony subquest.
