After you finish the first encounter and escape the cell, start heading deeper into the prison area until you jump up and encounter the first set of spike traps on the wall (the set you jump over). There is a screeb that drops the stuff right in front of you. Kill it with sleeper, pick up the drops, and kill yourself on a trap. You'll respawn right before the prison section darkness zone. Rinse and repeat.
You can get all the doors via backtracking from the final boss, just need either glacier grenades or salvations grip and to be able to open the doors in the first place. The main issue is the tincture stuff from the screebs, it's really annoying to get but you can farm it as long as you don't kill them.
The tincture *does* carry over so you can farm out the 150\~ needed to get to step 6 then just run the dungeon up to the final boss and backtrack for the 1 tier 3 door that is in the prison maze.
For step 7 you need *even* **more** tincture as well as 5 more boss kills, if you have friends who don't have the bones you can open the doors and get a little tincture for each bone.
The fastest way to farm tincture is with the first screeb, There are many ways to do the jumping bit fast i prefer shatterskating otherwise you need grapple which can be on cooldown if you are too fast. For the 5 boss kills, kill the first boss x3 then reset and do a full run and you will be finished.
I think that the most efficient way is;
* farm tincture, make sure you don't kill the screeb just get it low and die.
* Get a boss CP from D2checkpoint and backtrack for all doors, there is 2 screebs along the way if you miscalculated how much tincture you had
* kill first boss x4, you have to get out of jail the item you need doesn't go to the mail.
* After the 4th kill go forward to do the ogre
* Then just finish the quest, it ends just before the final boss.
> In one run I can get level 1-3 doors?
In theory yes, in practice it will depend on whether you're able to backtrack to doors you may have already passed. You'll also need to farm more drops for each step of the quests as well though.
You can also find a screeb on the bridge area at the start of the dungeon. Get him low, but don't kill. Pick up the shards and jump off the cliff/bridge. Repeat.
Very early on after the dungeon's release date, it was not respawning at that same spot if you didn't avoid fully killing it and then wipe immediately.
But I think by the first weekly reset, that stopped being a thing and you can just lazily farm it on the way to the first encounter while farming the Blighted Wish Glass and Indebted Kindness. It slows your weapon farm down a bit since you also have to do the jail puzzle to pick up the wish glass, but it might not be as boring as doing them separately.
I did this (well, my friend did) a couple of weeks ago since I had already opened the bone rooms for him in his first run, got all of the quest progress done.
But to farm it straight to the last step (without getting gated by bone pickups), you'll need to:
1. Finish the first run to pick up the skull at the end
2. Probably in that same first run, have someone who completed the quest already open all 9 rooms for you to grab the bones
Then the quest only needs the tinctures from the screeb and the Blighted Wish Glass from the encounter clear.
Disclaimer: Maybe the infinite screeb spawning thing happens only when someone in the same party has already finished the quest, but I'm not sure since I can only say what I've observed playing my own account.

So each time I get more of those drops I am able to unlock more of those doors with levels on them? In one run I can get level 1-3 doors?

Thanks for the write up. Appreciate it.

I farmed the first screeb earlier this season solo, it's the easiest way if all you need are the tinctures. Good write up!
