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 IV. This ritual, guided by Miester Siva, requires a ritual bowl, bloody obsidian lancet, and Blackroot to unlock the Hall of Echoes and gain Night Vision. While initial ingredients are found in Siva's basement, subsequent rituals require independent sourcing. This guide focuses on locating Blackroot.
Venture into Cloisterwood
Cloisterwood, a dense forest northwest of Driftwood on Reaper's Coast, is the key location. Upon entering, use the ALT key to highlight interactive objects. Blackroot grows at the base of certain trees. Gather several for future rituals. This guide avoids specifying the ritual's frequency, 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 offer opportunities to gain Source points (Jahan is also relevant to Lohse's storyline).
- Undead Trader: Eithne, located in ruins, provides a side quest via the "Divine Order" dialogue option.
- Dead Ferryman: Located at a northern pier, he offers passage to Bloodmoon Island.
- Other Secrets: Explore Wrecker's Cave and potentially acquire a unique loremaster amulet.
Caution: Avoid the powerful witch, Alice Alisceon, until you reach at least level 15. Thorough exploration of Cloisterwood is recommended on your first visit.
