In the immersive world of Divinity: Original Sin 2, the herb known as Blackroot stands out as a crucial component, especially during the Miester's Ritual in the game's fourth act. Under the guidance of Miester Siva, players must craft a special Ritual Bowl using a ritual bowl, a bloody obsidian lancet, and Blackroot to gain access to the Hall of Echoes and unlock the Night Vision skill.

During your initial encounter with this ritual, all required ingredients are conveniently located in Siva's basement. However, subsequent rituals demand that you source these items yourself. While obtaining a ritual bowl and obsidian lancet is relatively straightforward, finding Blackroot can be a daunting task. If you're struggling to locate this elusive herb, this guide is here to assist you.

Venture Into Cloisterwood

Cloisterwood, a lush and dense forest, is situated in the northwestern part of Reaper's Coast, just a short journey north of Driftwood. Once you're immersed in the forest, press and hold the left ALT key to reveal all available pickups.

As you explore, you'll notice various herbs, including Blackroots, scattered at the base of trees. Although you only need one Blackroot for the ritual, it's wise to gather a few extra as a precaution. This guide refrains from detailing the number of times the ritual must be performed to avoid spoilers, but remember, you can undertake the ritual each time you gain a Source point.

Cloisterwood Exploration Tips

Cloisterwood is not just a source of Blackroot; it's a treasure trove of secrets and encounters. Within its depths, you'll find two NPCs, Hannag and Jahan, who can each help you earn a Source point. Jahan also plays a role in advancing Lohse's storyline. Hidden among the ruins, you'll encounter Eithne, an undead trader. By selecting the "Divine Order" option when interacting with her, you can unlock a side quest.

Further north, at the edge of Cloisterwood, lies a pier where the Dead Ferryman NPC awaits, ready to transport you to Bloodmoon Island. These are just a few of the notable characters you might meet in Cloisterwood. The forest also harbors other secrets, such as the Wrecker's Cave and the chance to acquire a unique loremaster amulet by conversing with the spirit of a ship captain. If you're exploring Cloisterwood for the first time, take the time to thoroughly investigate the area. It's recommended to steer clear of the crucified witch, Alice Alisceon, until you reach at least level 15.
