Divinity: Original Sin 2 Blackroot Location Guide
In Divinity: Original Sin 2, Blackroot is a crucial herb, primarily needed for Miester Siva's Ritual in Act IV. This ritual, involving a ritual bowl, bloody obsidian lancet, and Blackroot, grants access to the Hall of Echoes and the Night Vision skill. While initial ingredients are found in Siva's basement, subsequent rituals require independent ingredient gathering. This guide focuses on locating Blackroot.
Venture into Cloisterwood
Cloisterwood, a dense forest northwest of Driftwood on Reaper's Coast, is the primary location for Blackroot. Entering the forest, use the ALT key to highlight interactive objects. Blackroot will be found at the base of certain trees. Collect several for future rituals. This guide avoids specifics on ritual repetition to prevent spoilers.
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 also advances Lohse's storyline).
- Undead Trader: Eithne, found in ruins, provides a side quest via the "Divine Order" option.
- Dead Ferryman: Located at a northern pier, he offers passage to Bloodmoon Island.
- Additional Secrets: Explore Wrecker's Cave and potentially obtain a unique loremaster amulet.
Note: Avoid the powerful witch, Alice Alisceon, until reaching at least level 15. Thorough exploration is recommended on your first visit.
