The Shadow Crypt/Instance Paths

Walkthrough
There are three different instances of this dungeon. If you want to be walked through the dungeon using the shortest possible route, collecting all 12 gears along the way and enabling you to open the extra chest at the end, then follow this guide, otherwise refer to the Maze directions in the next section.

After you've cleared the first room and picked up the Death's Door clicky (Dimension Door, 2x), go east. If you are in a blue room, you are in what will be referred to as Instance 1 - Dimension Door to the beginning and follow the instructions below.

 * West to blue torch (lighting order: south, east, north)
 * West to blue underwater
 * West to red pyramid
 * North to yellow underwater
 * North to yellow dais
 * North to yellow maze
 * South to start. Shrine now if necessary - you won't be coming back to this room again.
 * South to red torch (lighting order: east, north, west)

Maze

The quest has 3 versions. Rooms have a color (Yellow, Red, Green, and Blue) and a type (Columns, Dais, Maze, Puzzle, and Underwater). You can figure out which version you are in by using the map. Once you make your first jump, take note of which color and type of room you are in. If you go to the West for your first door/teleporter, you will end up in 1 of 3 places:
 * Green Columns room, West doorway [GCW]
 * Blue Columns room, West doorway [BCW]
 * Yellow Underwater room, West doorway [YUW]
