Is there a way to make my warlock's eldritch blast deal Good damage? I'm already exalted good, and currently level 14.

The only advantage to aligned damage is that it bypasses a specific type of damage reduction or energy resistance. A Warlock's Eldritch Blast is untyped, and thus is not effected by any damage or energy reduction. So it's a moot point.

Take Consecrate Spell-like Ability (Book of Exalted Deeds). Doesn't even require Exalted status, as far as I can tell, just Good.

Don't some things take extra damage from Good-aligned things, like a vulnerability? But still, I think Person_Man's right on this one.

That said, I believe (though I'm not 100% sure) that the Enlightened Soul from CArcane gains the ability to make its Eldritch Blasts good-aligned and ghost touch.

Off the top of my head, Enlightened Spirit (CM) gets Holy Blast, which does extra damage to evil outsiders. The PrC is pretty blah though.

Enlightened Soul is not just blah. It's absolutely hideous.

And regeneration. We've reason to believe the BBEG is an atropal.

...
A gestalt, full caster atropal. Don't look at me like that. We can take it.

Hmm... it looks like the Consecrate Spell-Like Ability feat is my best bet, even if it's only 3 times per day.

Even if there isn't a canon suggestion, I would, as a DM, let you design an invocation that would do that. Might, if you're really nice (and bring good pizza) give you a rod that would do that.

Unfortunately an eldritch essence wouldn't work, because then I can't also apply Vitriolic Blast to overcome its ridiculous SR.

Ah, well, there you go. I'd fall back on a feat, then, or an item.
