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 you to locate them yourself. This guide focuses on finding Blackroot.
Locating Blackroot in Cloisterwood
Cloisterwood, a dense forest northwest of Driftwood on Reaper's Coast, is where you'll find Blackroot. Enter the forest and use the ALT key to highlight interactive objects. Several herbs, including Blackroot, grow at the base of trees. Gather several for future rituals, as the exact number needed depends on your gameplay.
Exploring Cloisterwood: More Than Just Blackroot
Cloisterwood offers more than just Blackroot. Explore thoroughly to discover:
- Source Point Opportunities: Interact with Hannag and Jahan for potential Source points (Jahan's interaction also advances Lohse's storyline).
- Undead Trader: Find Eithne, an undead trader, in the ruins. Choose the "Divine Order" option for a side quest.
- Dead Ferryman: At the northern pier, the Dead Ferryman offers passage to Bloodmoon Island.
- Other Secrets: Discover Wrecker's Cave and potentially a unique loremaster amulet by interacting with a ship captain's spirit.
Important Note: Consider your level before engaging Alice Alisceon, a powerful witch in the north. Level 15 or higher is recommended.
