"Can't use gooda vines"
Hmm.. I've got to the broken bridge and I have the gooda vine rope, but every time I try to use the rope on the bridge I get a message saying something along the lines of "You decide to save this item for later". What's going on? I haven't yet ascended to the seventh bough and spoken to the shaman (I have the zuzu petals and I think I have fuzzfas's mystery potion - does he just give it to you when you talk?) Although I do know where to do that. Do I have to do that first?

Please please tell me I don't have to battle the three oak saplings in the room near to the seventh bough ascension room as I don't have a hope with my poor little party at the moment. They're mean...

Thanks for any help..

You probably applying rope to the wrong place and game thinks that you are trying to drop the item. Since it is critical item the game does not let you to drop it.

Try to use empty cursor to locate exact point of item application (cursor should change into a hand there, afair). Then use rope on correct location.

Nope... I get the hand and it clearly says "you decide to save this item for later" not the usual "this location requires a specific item" I tried other items and they just drop. Do I need a specific level or something first?

I'm pretty sure it has no restrictions of any kind. Assuming you saw the bridge collapse, so you know you are at the right place - I would also think the solution is finding the right spot to apply the vine. Try moving a bit forward or backward, see if that helps. I never had any problems.
The message "...you change your mind" is standard for all quest-items the game thinks you are trying to throw away.

Are you sure that you have a rope (which can be made of TWO vines). Becouse it seems that you are trying to use only single (don't know the word in english) of vine.

Nope - I definitely picked two vines and tied them together to make the gooda vine rope..

There are some places where your empty cursor turns into a hand but you're still not close enough to activate the item. Try getting right up to the edge of the broken part and touching the space where you saw the original bridge collapse.

After a fair bit of clicking and moving and edging around I got it done - the bridge is built! Yay! The only pain in the bum is that once I've got a little way over the bridge I get to a couple of doors that bar my way. The one I unlocked and entered a room that says something along the lines of "he who brings knowledge will be rewarded" or something like that - with a chest inside what looks like a cage. There's also a second door that requires a specific item to open too, which I don't have. So I went back and spoke to the shaman on the seventh bough and he told me to go to marten's bluff. Shall I just come back later?

Yes, completing the Shaman's quest and using the idol on the wedding cake altar gets you in to the actual Shanan answer his questions and he will give you a key to the door you meantioned,
