Do not read if you've only gone to vanaheim once.

I hate Vanaheim with a passion now. Not only is everything there trying to kill you, but its impossible to navigate through. I went exploring yesterday into the abandoned village and got lost for a good 30 mins to an hour. I tried getting out the way I came from but couldn't. I go the opposite way and it's a dead end. I finally look it up and turns out I was going the right way but you know that part in the village where you use the spear? Idk if its glitched or that's just how it is but turns out you needed to put a 2nd spear where the first one already was. Great now I can begin leaving. Now I just need to find the portal. The thing with Vanaheim is that sometimes you need to go the wrong way to get to the right area. The river delta is a huge circle and it's so confusing and such a pain to navigate through imo.
