In the expansive world of Divinity: Original Sin 2, the Blackroot herb stands out as a crucial component, especially during the Miester's Ritual in the game's fourth act. Under the guidance of Miester Siva, you'll need to craft a special Ritual Bowl using a ritual bowl, a bloody obsidian lancet, and the elusive Blackroot. This concoction is essential for entering the Hall of Echoes and unlocking the Night Vision skill.

The first ritual can be conveniently completed with ingredients found in Siva's basement. However, subsequent rituals, which you can perform after earning each Source point, require you to 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 vital herb, this guide is here to assist you.

Venture Into Cloisterwood

Cloisterwood, a lush and dense forest, lies 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 nearby items.

You'll soon notice various herbs, including the much-needed 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 rituals required to avoid spoilers, but remember, you can perform 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 speaking with her, you can unlock a side quest.

Further north, at the edge of Cloisterwood, a pier hosts the Dead Ferryman NPC, offering passage to Bloodmoon Island. These are just a few of the intriguing characters you'll meet in Cloisterwood. The forest also conceals 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.
