In the expansive 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 Meister's Ritual, which you'll need to perform in the fourth act under the guidance of Meister Siva. To successfully complete this ritual and unlock the Hall of Echoes, along with the invaluable Night Vision skill, you must craft a special Ritual Bowl using a ritual bowl, a bloody obsidian lancet, and the elusive Blackroot.

The first time you undertake this ritual, you'll find all the required ingredients conveniently located in Siva's basement. However, once you've earned a Source point, you'll need to gather these items yourself for subsequent rituals. While obtaining a ritual bowl and obsidian lancet is usually straightforward—often, you might already have them in your inventory—finding Blackroot can be a bit more challenging. If you're struggling to locate this vital herb, this guide is here to help.

Venture Into Cloisterwood

Cloisterwood, a dense and mysterious forest, lies in the northwestern part of Reaper's Coast, just a short journey north from Driftwood. Upon entering the forest, use the left ALT key to highlight all potential pickups around you.

As you explore, keep an eye out for various herbs scattered at the base of trees, including the precious Blackroots. Although you only need one Blackroot for the ritual, it's wise to collect a few more to ensure you're well-prepared. This guide refrains from detailing the number of rituals required to avoid spoilers, but remember, you can perform the ritual each time you earn a Source point.

Cloisterwood Exploration Tips

Cloisterwood is not just a source of Blackroot; it's a treasure trove of secrets and encounters. Among the dense foliage, you'll find two NPCs, Hannag and Jahan, each capable of helping you earn a Source point. Notably, interacting with Jahan also advances Lohse's storyline. Hidden within some ruins, you'll encounter Eithne, an undead trader. Engage with her and select the "Divine Order" option to embark on a side quest.

Venturing further north within Cloisterwood leads to a pier where the Dead Ferryman awaits, ready to transport you to Bloodmoon Island. Beyond these notable NPCs, the forest is brimming with other secrets, including the Wrecker's Cave and the chance to acquire a unique loremaster amulet by conversing with the spirit of a ship captain. For first-time explorers, a thorough exploration of Cloisterwood is recommended. Be cautious, however, and steer clear of the formidable witch, Alice Alisceon, until you reach at least level 15.
