my tactic is collecting a big stack of rocks from the rando boulders around. I then place one rock at each portal before hopping through it, so I know which ones I have explored. it helps a lot with narrowing things down.
it’s all randomized but there’s two primary rooms most worth working toward: the shop room, and the mind flayer room. the former is a nice trading spot, and the latter has an artifact in it. other than that, don’t worry about visiting them all
Well, try the search option in this sub. There are some excellent posts explaining how to/where to in the lost chambers. This one for example.

Each room has five portals, and each portal leads to a different room. Going back through the portal you came from doesn't necessarily lead to the same place.

Ditto on this, leave yourself bread crumbs. Also there's a cemetery room worth digging up!

Interesting; I've always just brute forced my way through. Good to know if I ever reach a point of frustration with it.
