    You have several options here.
    1) you can pull the toilet and snake the drain from there **OR**
    2) Rent a sewer machine and snake from the lavatory roof vent.
    If you snake from the roof put out enough snake to reach the base and 18 feet more. **OR**
    3) Snake the branch from the tub waste and overflow (see image)
    Good luck, Tom
