Blackroot’s Side Quest

Blackroot’s Side Quest

This ancient Construct lives in the Fjord and has a voracious hunger for special items known as Stonebites.

Side Quest: “Sticks and Stones”

  • Location: Various Areas
  • Reward: Guillotine
  • Recommended Level: None

Speak with an immobile construct named Blackroot during your first trip through the Fjord. The friendly construct will bestow a side quest upon Death that involves the collection of special gemstones called Stonebites, which are hidden all around the realms. Blackroot gives the Reaper a special item called the Lure Stone, which imbues Death’s pistol, Redemption, with the power to draw in the energy of these special stones. Shoot all seventy Stonebites to acquire their energy, and then return to Blackroot to receive a mighty pair of scythes in reward.

Note

Refer to the “Appendix” chapter at the end of this guide for a complete listing of all seventy Stonebites, including their locations.
