No, you don't.

There are shortcuts down to the 5th lvl (catacombs) - building near the
church, 9th level (caves) - near Wirt, and 13th level (hell) - opening
near the healer.

All of these shortcuts are always activated in multiplayer, although you
have to be at a high enough level to use them - In single player, they
are only active once you get to the appropriate lvl of the dungeon and
use the shortcut to get back to town.
