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 sourcing. This guide focuses on locating Blackroot.
Finding 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 grows at the base of certain trees. Gather several, as the ritual may need to be performed multiple times. (The exact number of times is omitted 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 (the latter also relevant to Lohse's storyline) for potential Source point gains.
- Undead Trader: Find Eithne, an undead trader, in the ruins. Choose the "Divine Order" option for a side quest.
- Dead Ferryman: Located at the northern pier, this NPC offers passage to Bloodmoon Island.
- Other Secrets: Discover the Wrecker's Cave and potentially acquire a unique loremaster amulet by speaking with a ship captain's spirit.
- Caution: Avoid the powerful witch, Alice Alisceon, until you reach at least level 15.
Remember to thoroughly explore Cloisterwood to maximize your rewards and prepare for future challenges. Good luck!
