You have still several possibilities here :
1) find a way to seed the crawl with the URLs containing the links to the leaf 
pages (sometimes it is possible with a simple loop)
2) create regex for each step of the scenario going to the leaf page, in order 
to limit the crawl to necessary pages only. Use the $ sign at the end of your 
regexp to limit the match of regexp like http://([a-z0-9]*\.)*mysite.com.
