Divinity Original Sin 2: Where To Find Blackroot

This guide helps Divinity: Original Sin 2 players locate Blackroot, a crucial herb for the Miester's Ritual in Act 4. This ritual, overseen by Miester Siva, requires a ritual bowl, a bloody obsidian lancet, and Blackroot to unlock the Hall of Echoes and gain Night Vision. While the initial ritual ingredients are found in Siva's basement, subsequent rituals require players to gather them independently. Finding the Blackroot can be tricky.

Locating Blackroot in Cloisterwood

Cloisterwood, a dense forest northwest of Driftwood on Reaper's Coast, is the key location. Enter the forest and use the ALT key to highlight interactive objects. Blackroot herbs will be visible at the base of certain trees. Gather several, even though only one is immediately needed for the ritual. The number of times the ritual must be performed is not detailed here to avoid spoilers, but it's tied to gaining Source points.

Exploring Cloisterwood: Additional Tips

Cloisterwood offers more than just Blackroot. Explore thoroughly to discover:

• Source Point Opportunities: Interact with Hannag and Jahan, the latter also crucial for Lohse's storyline. Each can potentially grant a Source point.
• Undead Trader: Find Eithne, an undead trader in the ruins, for a side quest (choose the "Divine Order" option).
• Dead Ferryman: A ferryman at the northern pier offers passage to Bloodmoon Island.
• Other Secrets: Explore Wrecker's Cave and potentially find a unique loremaster amulet by speaking to a ship captain's spirit.
• Caution: Avoid the powerful witch Alice Alisceon (north of Cloisterwood) until you reach at least level 15.

Remember to thoroughly explore Cloisterwood to maximize your rewards and prepare for future challenges. Good luck!
