Any special tricks to getting the access road for this sucker? I've already downed several trees, but I can't seem to find anymore and the path still isn't ready. Do I need to wait for the dry season and more trees to grow or something and then knock more down, or what? Or are there some less-than-obvious trees that I'm just totally missing?

All of the trees you need to cut down are accessible during the rain, and there is no more than one tree per area:

1. Throne Road - towards the village area
2. Nomad Village - southern end near the save crystal
3. Gizas North Bank - north-east corner
4. Toam Hills - south-east corner
5. Starfall Field - north-east corner
6. Crystal Glade - north of the save crystal

Oh good. I didn't even think to look in the actual village, and I think I may have missed the one in Toam Hills. Thank you.
