Things to do before the Misery Mire
The Misery Mire is the sixth of seven Crystal Dungeons in Hyrule's Dark World. Because the Misery Mire is located in the Misery Swamp, and both of the things we need to get are in this area, I'll first tell you how to get to the Misery Swamp, then tell you what you need to get there before entering the Misery Mire itself. To get there, it's simple. Call on the Duck with your Flute and have him bring you to the sixth location, the Desert of Mystery. However, when he brings you there, don't jump off of the cliff you're on. Instead, lift the righthand side green stone there to reveal a warp into the Dark World. Step onto this warp and you'll be in the Misery Swamp in the Dark World. Now, we need to get...
-Get Heart Piece Twenty-One
-Get Heart Piece Twenty-Two
Once those are both gotten, the Misery Mire entrance is right in this same location. Approach the alter in the middle of the swamp, and walk all the way to where the emblem of a lightning bolt is. This is actually the symbol of the Ether Medallion. Stand upon this symbol and use your Ether Medallion to make the doorway to the Misery Mire appear...

Dark World Dungeon Six: Misery Mire
As you start out, go north and then east. When you get to a gap in the floor, use your Hookshot to cross the gap and then approach the door on the other side, going down the stairs and to the next room. In this next room, swing around to the main area of the room. You'll have to deal with some pesky Wizzrobes here. If you didn't get the Blue Mail in the Ice Palace, you're screwed - the Wizzrobe's magic'll take away four hearts per hit on anyone not wearing the Blue Mail. In anycase... kill the Wizzrobes in the room and the sealed door to the north will open. Go through the door and into the next room.
Go down the stairs in this room to get on the main floor of this room. Walk westward along this confusing ground floor. Get to the staircase leading back up to the catwalks in the northeast corner of the room, and go through that door into the next room. In this room, go east into the next room. Kill the enemies in the room. Then, lift up the pots in the room to find a Key and another switch which will make a treasure chest appear, which also will have a Key. To get to the treasure chest un-injured, use the Cane of Byrna or Magic Cape. Then, use one of the Keys on the northern door in the room. Go through it to the next room. Go straight across and north into another room, then follow this passageway north, and then west into yet another room. Slay the enemies in this room and go to the west side. Lift up the pot to find a Key, and hit the crystal switch to gain access to the southern portion of the room. At the extreme south end of this room is a locked door. Open it and go south into the next room.
Work your way all the way back to the large room with all of the doors, stairs, et cetera. Now that the crystal switch has been struck, go to the cage on the catwalks to the left end of the room. Pick up the skull pot there to reveal a switch - hit this switch to make a treasure chest with a Key appear. Grab that key, then go to the southwest end of the room. Unlock the door there and go through to the next room. Kill the enemies in here to get another Key, and unlock the door to your left, going into the next room. Light up all four torches in here while avoiding the flying floor tiles to make the northern door unseal itself. Within this room, grab the dungeon's Compass from the treasure chest, then go back south, and south again to a new room. In this room, go south, then east, then swing north, going through the door and up the stairs to the next floor.
The next two rooms can be a little complicated. What you have to do is get the four lanterns in two rooms (two in each room = four) all lit up. To do so, you must first push the two side blocks forward on each of the four lanterns, then the middle one up or down. Make sure the pathway to each lantern is clear. Then, whilst avoiding the Wizzrobes in both room, use the Lamp or Fire Rod to light up all four lanterns. If done quick enough, the room to your right (off-screen) will expand big time. Go down 'til you can't anymore (the room with the southern most two lanterns), then go east. There's a hole in the ground all the way to the right. Fall through this hole and you'll land on a solitary platform with a treasure chest on it. Open this treasure chest to acquire the dungeon's Big Key! Woohah! With that in hand, go through the door at your left. In this room, take the teleporter and you'll end up in front of the door locked with the Big Key. But first, we have to get the treasure for this dungeon. Use your Magic Mirror to get back to the beginning of the dungeon. Work your way back to the beginning of the big room in this dungeon. Stay on the catwalk, and go right, then up. Bare left into the doorway at your right. Go right again to the next room, but go prepared - have the Hookshot ready. As soon as you enter this room, align yourself with the block on the right side of the room and Hookshot across. Then, get to the path heading upward and run up the path, as the path will soon thereafter start to crumble. At the end of this path, open the big treasure chest to get the Cane of Somaria, the special item for this dungeon, which will allow you to create blocks that can be used for all sorts of purposes.
With that Cane in hand, you have to now get to the door locked with a Big Key at the way back of the dungeon. Get back there (you should have been there already, so this shouldn't be too much of an issue), and go through the door. You'll come out on a wooden bridge. Run across this wooden bridge and go through the door at the other end. In this darkened room, head to the west side and lift up the pot there. There's a switch. To make it stay down, use the Cane of Somaria to keep it down, and go through the door at the south of the room, into the next room. In this room, simply go west into the next room.
In here, traverse the labyrinth. Ignore the door at the left side for now, and go to the north of the room. Strike the crystal in the center of the platform surrounded by a chasm with your Boomerang, to turn it red. Then, go back south, and west into the next room. In here, go to the north of the room and Bomb through the wall, to find a crystal on the other side. Strike the crystal, then go back south, and west into the next room. Here, go north, avoiding enemies. Don't go through the door and up the stairs yet - instead, go around where the door is and strike the crystal. Then, go up the stairs. Here, head left, through the door there, and then through the door at the north, and into the boss lair.

Boss Eleven: Vitreous
Vitreous is simple... very, very simple. He's a glob of jelly with a large eyeball and smaller eyeballs surrounding him. What he does is he sends out a few eyeballs at a time, which you can slash and hack at until they are defeated. Intermittently, however, he'll release a lightning bolt identical to the kind that Agahnim used on us. You'll know that this lightning bolt is coming because his eye will flash. You may want to avoid it, you may be in such a killing frenzy that you can just ignore it and suck up the damage. Either way, when all but four of his eyeballs are slain, the big eyeball will start to jump around the room. He won't attack - he'll just attempt to collide with you. This is when you'll want to slash at him continuously. After eight hits or so, he'll be no more...
Grab your Heart Piece, grab your Crystal, and we're finished.
