It's within the rules, but it's a big power. Which is why I'd look
at other ways. A Guardian that happens to be an Underworld native so
it gets all abilities boosted while there is a good start, and far
more likely.

Generally HeroQuesters don't go to the Underworld proper, staying on the Hero Plane instead. There are likely to be bits of it that are "friendly" to at least some PCs. And then there's preparation, community support and a huge stack of HPs. Experimental HeroQuesting is meant to be dangerous. But it's your decision.
