"Now then. How are we to find our way out of this place? Hmm… maybe if you could scout the area then… yes we can definitely try that."
Thus Noctis started talking to Minerva about the places he remembered and about its peculiarities in order to ascertain a general direction to move at.
It would inevitably take some time depending how far he was from the known parts of the jungle and which direction they explored first, but it was what it was.
Fortunately for him, the critter was as smart as they come, he had confidence in at least not fumbling at that step.
With that Minerva took flight as Noctis started to familiarize himself with the jungle once again.
