| Gates of Hades is best
hunted in Abyssea - Altepa
This spell can not be soloed at 95. You will need a decent party that knows how to handle the Mid level Abyssea bosses. Are special items are needed? Yes a Steaming Cerberus Tongue Key item is needed to pop the mob.
 Orthrus is a forced spawn at the F-7 ??? by trading Steaming Cerberus Tongue key item to it. Once Orthrus is popped it's best to treat the fight exactly like a battle that is going for the win from the start. He WILL use the TP move at least once in the fight, and since you will not be attacking from behind he will only have five moves to pick from. Trust me you will see it. It's dangerous and can wipe a party. So take care. If handled with the care that your party would take with any NM of this level, then you shouldn't have an issue. Any group with a good tank (PLD, THF, NIN) and solid healing support, with enough DD around can get the job done.
There are many other Cerberus NM's all about the world. All use the spell and can be learned from. A party will be needful for most. Many of them have long pop times, or are much harder.
