This so reminds me of the Survivor the TV show.
it wasnt hard TODAY. But i think it might be a little challenging for those who try to complete this quest in the following days. Because they will most likely be soloing it. I was able to solo it but it was semi-hard to easy today cause we all just followed a bunch of people, most of the time you wait for someone else to get aggro and rush past. Best of luck for those who have to do it later...
Its a lot of waiting around for the PLD 15 min ability to come back up.
It wasn't hard, just a little time consuming. Getting an anima back after praying was nice, though.
I only died once because I wasn't paying attention to the drakes in eastern thanalan. Went around the other way where the flies were instead.
I loved the cutscene you get in Coerthas, where Gaius Van Baelsar says "And leave me something worth conquering!"
You son of a bitch...you can bet your ass I'll give you the fight of your life...come A Realm Reborn... :D
In my opinion, It was easy as any Job. I was soloing it, since when I started most I know were done or already in the Stone area.
As a DRG, you have a x2 Chance of Mitigating Damage [Decoy+Dread Spikes] (1min+ Timer).
As a PLD, you have High HP & Defense and Invincibility Skill. (15min Timer), etc
I'm thinking everyone who does this would switch to DoW/M and won't go as DoH/L :p
Skills & Abilities are more like precautions when there are no other ways / you get caught.
Riding Chocobos will out-run most enemies without them being able to dish out any type of attacks; Morbol, Drakes, etc.
Knowing Mobs' Aggro type and figuring out the safest path is very helpful.
Knowing when to walk when an enemy is "Sound" Aggro,
Run behind when "Sight" Aggro or Figure out his "Aggro Sight" angle
Avoid them entirely or bust right in using Skills when enemy is "True Sound/Sight"
Knowing their "Range of Attack"
Figuring out their "Distance" of Aggro also helps !
EDIT: Just thought I'd mention, If you want, you can go through the trouble and start a leve and abandon where you can get it. Leve resets all Ability timers.
Only if people go the dumb way.

Go this way and you only go past a L53 Boar and a L60ish Diremite, and you can easily go around or get off and walk past it.
How do you actually obtain the horn?
I got the achievement too but dunno who to talk to for it.
