Divinity: Original Sin 2 Blackroot Location Guide
In Divinity: Original Sin 2, Blackroot is a crucial herb, especially 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 the Night Vision skill. While the initial ritual ingredients are found in Siva's basement, subsequent rituals (performed after gaining each Source point) require you to locate these ingredients yourself. This guide focuses on finding the elusive Blackroot.
Finding Blackroot in Cloisterwood
Cloisterwood, a dense forest northwest of Driftwood on Reaper's Coast, is where you'll find Blackroot. Enter the forest and use the ALT key to highlight interactive objects. Blackroot herbs will appear at the base of certain trees. Gather several, even though only one is needed per ritual. The exact number of rituals required is left unstated to avoid spoilers.
Exploring Cloisterwood: Additional Tips
Cloisterwood offers more than just Blackroot. Explore thoroughly to discover:
- Source Point Opportunities: Interact with Hannag and Jahan (Jahan's interaction also advances Lohse's storyline) for potential Source points.
- Undead Trader: Eithne, an undead trader, offers a side quest if you choose the "Divine Order" option.
- Dead Ferryman: Located on a northern pier, this NPC offers passage to Bloodmoon Island.
- Other Secrets: Discover the Wrecker's Cave and potentially a unique loremaster amulet by interacting with a ship captain's spirit.
Important Note: If it's your first visit, a thorough exploration is recommended. Avoid the challenging crucified witch, Alice Alisceon, until you reach at least level 15.
