This guide helps Divinity: Original Sin 2 players locate Blackroot, a crucial herb for the Miester's Ritual in Act Four. This ritual, guided by Miester Siva, requires a ritual bowl, a bloody obsidian lancet, and Blackroot to unlock the Hall of Echoes and gain Night Vision. While the initial ritual ingredients are found in Siva's basement, subsequent rituals (performed after gaining each Source point) require players to find these items themselves.
Finding Blackroot in Cloisterwood
The Blackroot herb is primarily found in Cloisterwood, a dense forest northwest of Driftwood on Reaper's Coast. To easily locate it:
- Enter Cloisterwood: Travel north from Driftwood.
- Activate Highlight: Press and hold the left ALT key to highlight interactable objects, including herbs.
- Locate Blackroot: Several Blackroots will be visible at the base of trees. Gather several for future rituals.
While only one Blackroot is needed per ritual, collecting more is recommended. This guide avoids specifics on the ritual's repetition to prevent spoilers, but remember it's available after each Source point gain.
Exploring Cloisterwood: More Than Just Blackroot
Cloisterwood offers more than just Blackroot. Explore to discover:
- Source Point NPCs: Hannag and Jahan can each grant a Source point, with Jahan also advancing Lohse's storyline.
- Undead Trader: Eithne, located in ruins, provides a side quest via the "Divine Order" option.
- Dead Ferryman: Located on a northern pier, he offers passage to Bloodmoon Island.
- Other Secrets: Explore Wrecker's Cave and potentially obtain a unique loremaster amulet by interacting with a ship captain's spirit.
Caution: Avoid the powerful witch, Alice Alisceon, until you reach at least level 15.
This comprehensive guide ensures you're well-prepared for your Blackroot hunt and other adventures within the rich and rewarding environment of Cloisterwood.
