Comment by mrnuub

The quest states one has to use some items on the goliaths.
The thing is: there are no items to use on the goliaths.
Just click on the goliaths - done!

Comment by alpha17x

What -exactly- do you do here? After you talk to her she just floats there and the Soul Mirror never does anything.. ever.

Comment by sylveonas

If Kalisthene just floats there when using the quest item from the side of the objective list with Elvui, use the item directly from your bag instead. The icon gets broken.

A Suitable Opponent

Use the Overcharged Goliath Cores on the Depleted Goliaths in Aspirant's Awakening, then use the Soul Mirror to capture a memory of Kalisthene.

	Depleted Goliath overcharged (2)
	Speak with Kalisthene (1)
	Kalisthene captured (1)

Provided item:

	Soul Mirror (1)

Description

The opponents you train against in the coliseum are not physical beings, but rather manifestations of such. Your first opponent is one you and your soulbinds have met numerous times before -- the Ascended Kalisthene. Asking another kyrian to be your opponent in the Path is a great honor, as it tells them that you have much to learn from them. Go to Aspirant's Awakening and use the cores to summon Kalisthene by calling back to your first introduction. It is as ceremony states.
