For anybody having trouble with the maze: You enter on the west side of the river, at the northeast corner of Shilo Village. Simply climb and cut your way through the vines until you find a hole (Either a hole in the vines or a hole in the ground) and keep entering it until you emerge close to the west side of the river. Cut through the vines south twice and climb up and over the river, then go back across the river via the other path on the other side. Dig up roots, put them in a pot multiple times until they finally grow, done.
