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 Four. 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 players to locate them independently. This guide focuses on finding Blackroot.
Locating 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 interactable objects. Blackroot plants are found at the base of certain trees. Harvest several for future rituals, as the number of times the ritual is needed isn't specified to avoid spoilers.
Exploring Cloisterwood: Additional Tips
Cloisterwood offers more than just Blackroot. Explore thoroughly to discover:
- Source Point NPCs: Hannag and Jahan offer opportunities to gain Source points, with Jahan also impacting Lohse's storyline.
- Undead Trader: Eithne, located in ruins, provides a side quest via the "Divine Order" dialogue option.
- Dead Ferryman: Located at a northern pier, he offers passage to Bloodmoon Island.
- Other Secrets: Explore Wrecker's Cave and potentially acquire a unique loremaster amulet by interacting with a ship captain's spirit.
- Challenging Enemy: Avoid the powerful witch Alice Alisceon until reaching at least level 15.
Remember to thoroughly explore Cloisterwood to maximize your rewards and prepare for future challenges. The dense foliage conceals many secrets beyond the essential Blackroot.
