Divinity: Original Sin 2 Blackroot Location Guide
In Divinity: Original Sin 2, Blackroot is a crucial herb, primarily needed for the Miester's Ritual in Act Four. This ritual, guided by Miester Siva, requires a ritual bowl, a bloody obsidian lancet, and Blackroot to unlock the Hall of Echoes and obtain the Night Vision skill. While initial ingredients are found in Siva's basement, subsequent rituals require independent ingredient acquisition. This guide focuses on locating Blackroot.
Venture into Cloisterwood
Cloisterwood, a dense forest northwest of Driftwood on Reaper's Coast, is the key location. Once inside, use the ALT key to highlight interactive objects. Blackroot will be found at the base of certain trees. Gather several, even though only one is immediately needed for the ritual. The number of times the ritual is required is not detailed here to avoid spoilers, but it's tied to gaining Source points.
Cloisterwood Exploration Tips
Cloisterwood offers more than just Blackroot. Explore to discover:
- Source Point NPCs: Hannag and Jahan (the latter also relevant to Lohse's storyline) can each provide a Source point.
- Undead Trader: Eithne, located in ruins, offers a side quest ("Divine Order").
- Dead Ferryman: Located at a northern pier, he provides passage to Bloodmoon Island.
- Additional Secrets: Wrecker's Cave and a potential loremaster amulet from a ship captain's spirit are among other hidden rewards.
Note: Consider exploring Cloisterwood thoroughly before confronting Alice Alisceon (level 15+ recommended).
