Potential softlock in Nether?

Loaded up Nether: Explore and got through the first area fine. I'm in a new area that locked me in with one of the Taken walls and I'm tasked with "Release Taken Energy". I've found 2/3 of them and completed them, but now there are no enemies in the area nor things for me to interact with and the Ghost icon in the corner keeps flashing.

If I pull out my Ghost there is a star icon in one corner of the area near a weird blob thing but it does not take damage or be interacted with...I don't want to go to Orbit and lose progress but I'm at a loss for what to do...any ideas?

Edit: shoot the orange blobs....
