Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Locating Blackroot in Cloisterwood
In Divinity: Original Sin 2, Blackroot is a crucial herb, primarily needed for Miester Siva's Ritual in Act Four. This ritual, requiring 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 acquiring Blackroot, often the most challenging ingredient to locate.
Finding Blackroot in Cloisterwood
Cloisterwood, a dense forest northwest of Driftwood on Reaper's Coast, is the key location. Upon entering, use the ALT key to highlight interactive objects. Blackroot herbs grow at the base of certain trees within the forest. Gather several, even though only one is immediately needed for the ritual (the number of rituals required is left unstated to avoid spoilers).
Exploring Cloisterwood: Additional Tips
Cloisterwood offers more than just Blackroot. Explore thoroughly to discover:
- Source Point Opportunities: Interact with Hannag and Jahan (the latter also relevant to Lohse's storyline) for potential Source point gains.
- Undead Trader: Find Eithne, an undead trader in the ruins, for a side quest ("Divine Order" option).
- Dead Ferryman: Located at the northern pier, the Dead Ferryman provides passage to Bloodmoon Island.
- Other Secrets: Explore Wrecker's Cave and seek out the spirit of a ship captain for a possible loremaster amulet.
Important Note: If it's your first visit, thorough exploration is recommended. Avoid confronting the crucified witch, Alice Alisceon, until reaching at least level 15.
