Skyrose93, there are many ways to enter City of Tears without the City Crest. You can roughly divide the City into western section and eastern section. You're supposed to enter the western portion first and the only way to enter the zone in the west is using the City Crest at the main gate. Once you get in there are a couple ways to leave, but there's no way enter the eastern half of the city because the two connections are blocked by doors that can only be opened from the eastern side. But there are multiple ways to enter the zone in the eastern portion. And after you enter the eastern part you can just walk to the west and open the door to the western portion.

As Xenomancer said Deepnest -> Tram Pass -> Ancient Basin -> Royal Waterways -> City of Tears via the abandoned lift shaft.

But you can also get in with:

Lantern -> Crystal Peak -> Crystal Heart -> Deepnest -> Tram Pass -> Ancient Basin -> Kingdom's Edge -> Royal Waterways super dash across acid -> City of Tears via the backdoor to Emilitia's room or you could super dash back into the lift shaft (but you could have just climbed up the shaft from Ancient Basin. If you super dash through the lift shaft, this path allows you to complete the Waterways without entering City of Tears and thus never having to use a key to unlock the sewer entrance.

Deepnest -> Tram Pass -> Anceint Basin -> Kingdom's Edge -> King's Station via the hidden passage beneath the Tower of Love. You can also climb up more in Kingdom's edge enter the Tower of Love and drop down into the hidden passage. Or you can climb all the way up Kingdom's Edge to the arena and break into the lift shaft connecting Resting Grounds to City of Tears.

Lantern -> Crystal Peak -> Crystal Heart -> Crossroads super dash above Salubra's store -> Blue Lake -> Resting Grounds taking the lift down into the city. Accesing the lift in Resting Grounds (before City of Tears) requires you enter from Blue Lake which requires the super dash.
