I was very lucky when fighting Akantor. I have the Rathian armor which has good fire resistence to begin with and then I have a +6 fire resitence charm and slotted 1 crimson jewel for a total of +20 Fire Resistence. I also had Earplugs and +50 Health. In short it was the perfect armor set up for the job. I also recommend using a LS as you don't normally have to worry about the hardened mineral armor he is coated with as Spirit Blade attacks ignore sharpness requirements. Then I just went to town. I got hit a few times but the damage was minimal because of my high Fire Resistence. This might be a little late to help to much but that's my two cents. Note: Rathian armor requires a Rathian Plate so unless you get lucky it might take a qhile to craft.
