To begin Clearing the Walls you need loot Defense Map from Mawsworn Cache.
This treasure is active in various locations around Perdition Hold in The Maw during Necrolord Assault.

Clearing the Walls rewards Quartered Ancient Ring.

To destroy Deadsoul Pylon you need interact with Overcharged Centurion.
Use the skill Purestep Ascension to reach the top of nearby walls and use the skill Fully Charged Blast to destroy Deadsoul Pylon.
You unlock this NPC after complete the quest Putting A Plan Together.

Drop of the Defense Map/quest appears to be RNG. I saw several others working on the quest but I did not get the drop from any of the caches I opened.

Edit: As others have said below, the quest can be shared.

If someone else has the quest it can be shared.

You need to collect four pieces (all called Quartered Ancient Ring) to make the Nilganihmaht's Stone Ring. This is ONLY available during the Necrolord Assault. The assault cycle is Night Fae, Venthyr, Kyrian, and then Necrolord.

Do NOT loot any of the Mawsworn Cache in Perdition Hold until you've completed step 1.

Step 1. Quartered Ancient Ring - ONLY obtain this at /way 35 69 Mawsworn Cache.
Step 2. Quartered Ancient Ring - Randomly spawns on the ground near Perdition Hold, found mine at /way 37 57 /way 41 62. They do despawn after a couple of minutes and move locations.
Step 3. Quartered Ancient Ring - Get the Putting A Plan Together, create the Overcharged Centurion and mount it. Now you can jump onto and around the walls of Perdition Hold and loot all the Mawsworn Cache in areas you normally would not be able to. There is a CHANCE the Mawsworn Cache will contain Defense Map - I had to swap onto my third character to obtain the Defense Map. This will give you the Clearing the Walls. THIS QUEST IS SHAREABLE - SO HELP PEOPLE OUT. You must complete the quest before the Necrolord Assault ends (you will have to loot it again if you miss it). Complete the quest and the item will be rewarded.
Step 4. Quartered Ancient Ring - In the middle of Perdition Hold, wait for the Maw Mad Construct. He will yell "<Character Name>, wants my priceless" or "You cannot have it". For me, he spawned at /way 31 65. Kill and loot it. There's an estimated 5-30 minute respawn.

Take the four pieces to /way 39 40. Use the Soulsteel Forge to combine the pieces. 1/5 rings for Nilganihmaht Control Ring.

So if you derped and opened all of the Mawsworn chests before gaining access to the Overcharged Centurion, you're SOL until the next Necrolord assault? I've been spamming general and looking in group finder for anyone with the quest, but no dice.

I logged in Tuesday and looted most of the chests without realizing what I needed to do with the centurion. I kept looking for people who might have the quest Clearing the Walls since I read it can be shared. I had no luck. Decided to wait till the next day and try again.

Today I logged in and YAY found someone in LFG sharing the quest. Lausia of Arygos you are a saint!

I noticed the Mawsworn caches are there again today. Do you think you can get the quest trying to loot again the next day?

You can not obtain a Defense Map if the Putting A Plan Together quest is not up. So don't waste your time opening these chests (using the grapple points and other shenanigan's) like I did. The overcharged centurion is broken so you cannot complete the Clearing the Walls quest that rewards the ring therefore the map does not drop until the appropriate quest is up.
