Divinity Original Sin 2: Where To Find Blackroot

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.

While the initial ritual ingredients are conveniently located in Siva's basement, subsequent rituals (performed after gaining each Source point) require you to find everything yourself. Locating the ritual bowl and obsidian lancet is usually straightforward, but the Blackroot can be elusive. This guide helps you track it down.

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 interactive objects. You'll find Blackroot at the base of certain trees. Gather a few, even though you only need one per ritual. (This guide avoids spoiling the number of rituals required.)

Cloisterwood Exploration Tips

Cloisterwood offers more than just Blackroot. Explore to discover: two NPCs (Hannag and Jahan) who can help you gain Source points (Jahan is also relevant to Lohse's storyline); Eithne, an undead trader offering a "Divine Order" side quest; and a challenging witch (best tackled at level 15 or higher). Further exploration might reveal the Wrecker's Cave and a unique loremaster amulet. Thorough exploration is recommended on your first visit.
