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 sourcing. This guide focuses on locating 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 herbs grow at the base of certain trees. Gather several, even though only one is needed per ritual. (Note: This guide avoids specifying the ritual's repetition for spoiler avoidance).

Exploring Cloisterwood: Additional Tips

Cloisterwood offers much more than just Blackroot. Explore thoroughly to discover:

• Source Point NPCs: Hannag and Jahan offer opportunities to gain Source points. Jahan's interactions also advance Lohse's storyline.
• Undead Trader: Eithne, located in ruins, provides a side quest via the "Divine Order" dialogue option.
• Dead Ferryman: At the northern pier, he offers passage to Bloodmoon Island.
• Other Secrets: Wrecker's Cave and a potential loremaster amulet from a ship captain's spirit await discovery.
• Challenging Enemy: Alice Alisceon, a powerful witch, is best avoided until you reach at least level 15.

Remember to thoroughly explore Cloisterwood for a rewarding experience beyond just obtaining the necessary Blackroot.
