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.
Thanks for the tips! I got close once and then ran into the level 73-74 Morbol's just south of the spot while fleeing from another group of enemies. They killed me in one hit... I don't mind spend hours running around exploring the far reaches of Eorzea to complete this quest, I just don't understand why they had to make it so extremely painful to reach this one.
