If you're good at parrying and/or you have a strong crit weapon, then it may be worth getting the Crest anyway. This allows you to farm the NPCs behind the door, which can net you a max total of almost 20k on your first run, and then around 10-12k for later runs. It also saves a ton of time if you need to reach Sif after dying, as it's just a straight run compared to the much longer route without opening the door.
