I started a No Map No Portal run, because I hadn't tried it yet. No map is the harder of the two. But, I'm still hanging out near the black forest, reluctant to leave my cozy base and go out into the world....I mean I found a wild maypole and everything. I made paths all over the starting island so I wouldn't get lost. Still got turned around once when I stepped off the path to hunt deer.

Navigating by bed was an interesting experience. It's a build piece that points in a definite direction. Acts as a compass, necessary for finding the Elder. You end up off course a bit though while dodging obstacles when you're walking. And if you stop in a random building along the way, you gotta drop the bed at whatever angle it's at so you don't get turned around.
