In the vast world of Divinity: Original Sin 2, the Blackroot stands out as one of the most crucial herbs you'll encounter in Rivellon. This herb is essential for the Miester's Ritual, which you'll need to perform in the fourth act under the guidance of Miester Siva. To successfully execute this ritual and gain access to the Hall of Echoes, along with the Night Vision skill, you'll need to craft a special Ritual Bowl. This requires combining a ritual bowl, a bloody obsidian lancet, and the vital Blackroot.

The first time you undertake this ritual, all necessary ingredients are conveniently located in Siva's basement. However, subsequent rituals after earning each Source point require you to source these items yourself. While acquiring a ritual bowl and an obsidian lancet is relatively straightforward, finding Blackroot can be a daunting task. If you're struggling to locate this elusive herb, this guide will be invaluable.

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. As you navigate through the forest, use the left ALT key to highlight all the items you can pick up.

Keep an eye out for various herbs scattered at the base of trees, where you're likely to find the Blackroots you need. Although the ritual requires only one Blackroot, it's wise to gather a few extra as a precaution. This guide refrains from spoiling how many times you'll need to perform the ritual, but remember, you can undertake it every time you earn a Source point.

Cloisterwood Exploration Tips

Cloisterwood is not just a source of Blackroot; it's brimming with secrets and notable NPCs. You'll encounter Hannag and Jahan, both of whom can help you earn Source points. Jahan is also integral to advancing Lohse's storyline.

Hidden among the ruins, you'll find Eithne, an undead trader. By choosing the "Divine Order" option when speaking with her, you can unlock a side quest. Further north, at the edge of Cloisterwood, lies a pier where the Dead Ferryman awaits to transport you to Bloodmoon Island.

Beyond these key encounters, Cloisterwood harbors other hidden gems like the Wrecker's Cave and a chance to acquire a unique loremaster amulet by conversing with the spirit of a ship captain. For those exploring Cloisterwood for the first time, a thorough exploration is recommended. However, be cautious of the crucified witch, Alice Alisceon, and avoid her until you reach at least level 15.
