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 obtain Night Vision. While initial ingredients are found in Siva's basement, subsequent rituals require you to locate them yourself. Finding Blackroot can be tricky, so this guide will help.
Venture into Cloisterwood
Cloisterwood, a dense forest northwest of Reaper's Coast (a short distance north of Driftwood), is your target. While exploring, use the ALT key to highlight interactive objects. You'll find Blackroot at the base of certain trees. Gather several, even though only one is needed per ritual. (Note: The guide avoids specifying the ritual's repetition for spoiler reasons, but it's tied to gaining Source points.)
Cloisterwood Exploration Tips
Cloisterwood offers more than just Blackroot. It's home to:
- Source Point NPCs: Hannag and Jahan (Jahan also advances Lohse's storyline).
- Undead Trader: Eithne, offering a side quest via the "Divine Order" option.
- Dead Ferryman: Provides passage to Bloodmoon Island.
- Other Secrets: Wrecker's Cave and potentially a unique loremaster amulet.
A word of caution: Alice Alisceon, a powerful witch, is best avoided until you reach at least level 15. Thoroughly exploring Cloisterwood is recommended on your first visit.
