This guide helps Divinity: Original Sin 2 players locate Blackroot, a crucial herb for the Miester's Ritual in Act 4. 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 players to find them independently. This guide focuses on acquiring 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 for future rituals. The exact number of rituals needed is omitted to avoid spoilers, but remember you can perform it after each Source point gain.
Exploring Cloisterwood: More Than Just Blackroot
Cloisterwood offers more than just Blackroot. Explore to discover:
- Source Point Opportunities: Interact with Hannag and Jahan (the latter also advances Lohse's storyline) to potentially gain Source points.
- Undead Trader: Find Eithne, an undead trader, in the ruins for a side quest ("Divine Order").
- Bloodmoon Island Access: A Dead Ferryman at the northern pier offers passage to Bloodmoon Island.
- Hidden Secrets: Explore Wrecker's Cave and potentially find a unique loremaster amulet by speaking to a ship captain's spirit.
Important Note: If it's your first visit, thoroughly explore Cloisterwood. Avoid the powerful witch, Alice Alisceon, until you reach at least level 15.
