ok, first things first, cross your sin over from factions, do the quick quests and mission on noob island and get yourself to Yohlon Haven. there should be a quest there, forget name, that takes u too Sunspear Sanctuary. once at sunspear, you can either get ready to run, fight or get a guildie or friend to help out with the run. if you don't have map open, and are unfamiliar with the territory it can be a bit confusing. here's a link too good map that should help you out. http://guildwars.gameamp.com/modules...s/300_full.jpg
my first stop was Ventra Cemetary, although that town might be bypassed, not sure. anyway, from there is where you'll need a map to get you north, too Gate of Desolation. its very easy to run or fight your way there, just gotta know the route.
at Gate of Desolation you must have a friend/guildie or hire a runner to get you any furthur. since you can't ride the wurms, you MUST DIE in order for your runner to be able to ride the wurms. very easy wurm run too Remains of Sahlahja. your runner should be able to solo that run. wurms have a great run skill, but your runner will need a few regular runs as well.
although Shadow Prison is located inbetween Remains and Basalt Grotto, u must go to Basalt FIRST! keep in my mind, u must keep killing yourself so your runner can ride the wurms. your runner may have to fight a few baddies on this run, so make sure he takes a full group. this part is half run half fight.
btw, here's a link to where cap is located: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Image:A..._Quick_Map.jpg
you should be at Basalt Grotto now, the cap is close but not that simple.
your runner needs to get a full group of heros/henchies again and kill a few groups. dont forgot to go commit suicide again, but this time, you'll be rezed. after ur runner/fighter fights the first couple groups it comes time to kill the boss. the boss is in the sand, so you MUST pull the boss as close to the mainland as possible. pretty easy to do since he should shadow prison to your runner/fighter, just make sure he pulls him as much as possible, should be easy to get him killed next to the shore/sand/land area. once boss is killed, your runner/fighter gets outta the wurm, rez's you, and u walk over and cap Shadow Prison !!!
i hope this helps alot of you out there, i know the pain of getting in groups as a sin, but this skill is so worth having. should save you 40+ hours of gameplay.
enjoy!
