Alright. I saw the fight myself and it looked fucking easy as you said so I should have no issues there.
Concerning Orthrus, I saw a group fighting it earlier today and got some information on it.
It's a black Cerberus type...it pretty much has your basic Cerb moves(Sulfrous Breath, Magma Hoplon or w/e that Stoneskin move is, and Gates of Hades which it can use at any %, so either bring stunners or whatever gear/spells to lower damage. I noticed it healed itself as well. Howl is a hate reset, so watch out for that. At lower %s it used some move called Archaeon Flame which did like 1.6k+ damage to everyone in range. The fight didn't look too bad; I saw some Kannagi NIN tear it up pretty good.
Drops were 3 Stones of Ardor and 1 Jewel of Ardor, a Kikugosaku(D111, STP+6, STR+5, and he said Occasionally attacks twice on Zanshin proc? I wish I had a picture or saw it in person to confirm this :/ ), and an Atheling Mantle(DA+3%, Attack+20).
I have the t2 pop for this so hopefully I can get the T3 to confirm some of these items.
