Got to the desert after getting the map from Don, but the directions don't seem to work? I'm confused... I've been interpreting "West 2, North 4" as "Left 2, Up 4", then the next line.
Your interpretation is correct. There's no tricks to it, so doing what you stated should work
Ah, just got my west and east mixed up, whoops-
Haha it happens XD. Glad you figured it out!
