This guide helps Divinity: Original Sin 2 players locate Blackroot, a crucial herb for the Miester's Ritual in Act IV. This ritual, guided by Miester Siva, requires a ritual bowl, a 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 the elusive 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 not detailed here to avoid spoilers.
Exploring Cloisterwood: More Than Just Blackroot
Cloisterwood offers more than just Blackroot. Explore thoroughly to discover:
- Source Point Opportunities: Interact with Hannag and Jahan (the latter also advances Lohse's storyline) for potential Source points.
- Undead Trader: Find Eithne, an undead trader in the ruins, for a side quest using the "Divine Order" option.
- Dead Ferryman: Access Bloodmoon Island via the pier's Dead Ferryman.
- Additional Secrets: Explore Wrecker's Cave and potentially obtain a unique loremaster amulet by interacting with a ship captain's spirit.
- Caution: Avoid the powerful witch Alice Alisceon until reaching at least level 15.
This comprehensive exploration of Cloisterwood will not only yield the necessary Blackroot but also unlock numerous other opportunities and secrets within Divinity: Original Sin 2.
