Diremites and hogs are a bit of a pain, but they are slow so you can usually just run past.
A friend and I got to all of the locations with just the 2 of us. Didn't have to fight our way through anything.
It took a little bit of time, but it is quite doable even without a large party or people sacrificing themselves for you to pass.
Good luck with the quest.
