Ascent to Power not completing in Act 2 Cruel

I am at the end of Act 2 Cruel, and it is still saving that I have to complete the Ascent to Power quest. I have completed the Balbala boss multiple times in the Cruel Act 2. I even went back to Act 2 normal and completed Balbala and then Act 2 Cruel Balbala to try and get it completed. But no luck. What do I need to do to get this completed so that I can get a Djinn Barya with Ascendancy Points? Thanks.
