Divinity Original Sin 2: Where To Find Blackroot

Quick Links

• Venture Into Cloisterwood

In Divinity: Original Sin 2, the Blackroot herb is surprisingly crucial, especially for the Miester's Ritual in Act Four. This ritual, guided by Miester Siva, requires a Ritual Bowl (crafted from a ritual bowl, bloody obsidian lancet, and Blackroot) to unlock the Hall of Echoes and the coveted Night Vision skill.

Initially, all ingredients are conveniently located in Siva's basement. However, subsequent rituals (earned with each Source point) require you to find the ingredients yourself. While the ritual bowl and obsidian lancet are usually readily available, locating Blackroot can be tricky. This guide helps you find it.

Venture Into Cloisterwood

Cloisterwood, a dense forest northwest of Driftwood on Reaper's Coast, is your target. Once inside, use the left ALT key to highlight all interactable items. You'll find Blackroot at the base of certain trees. Gather a few, even though only one is needed for the ritual. (Note: This guide avoids detailing the ritual's frequency to prevent spoilers.)

Cloisterwood Exploration Tips

Cloisterwood holds more than just Blackroot. Explore to discover two NPCs (Hannag and Jahan) who can each grant a Source point (Jahan also advances Lohse's storyline). You'll also find Eithne, an undead trader; interacting with her and choosing the "Divine Order" option unlocks a side quest.

Further north lies a pier and the Dead Ferryman, offering passage to Bloodmoon Island. Beyond these, explore Wrecker's Cave and potentially find a unique loremaster amulet by talking to a ship captain's spirit. New players should thoroughly explore Cloisterwood, but consider avoiding the challenging witch, Alice Alisceon, until reaching at least level 15.
