Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Locating Blackroot in Cloisterwood
In Divinity: Original Sin 2, Blackroot is a crucial herb, primarily needed for the Miester's Ritual in Act Four. This ritual, guided by Miester Siva, requires a ritual bowl, bloody obsidian lancet, and Blackroot to unlock the Hall of Echoes and obtain Night Vision. While initial ingredients are found in Siva's basement, subsequent rituals require independent ingredient gathering. This guide focuses on finding Blackroot.

Cloisterwood, a dense forest northwest of Driftwood on Reaper's Coast, is the primary location for Blackroot. Enter the forest and use the ALT key to highlight interactive objects. Blackroot will be found at the base of certain trees. Gather several, as multiple rituals may be required.
