How to Unlock Caldarus Events Gift Preferences ### How to Unlock Caldarus as a Romanceable Character in Fields of Mistria

Screenshot by The Escapist To embark on a romantic journey with Caldarus in Fields of Mistria, you must first break the Fire Seal located on Floor 60 of the mines. To do this, you'll need to offer four specific items: a Sealing Scroll, a Faceted Rock Gem, an Emerald, and a Rockroot.

Upon completing the offering, a dramatic cutscene unfolds where the Mines Priestess warns the farmer to leave or risk being sealed with the Sealing Scroll. As the farmer's health dwindles, Caldarus heroically appears, transforming into his human form. He leaves you with the Dragon’s Breath spell and retreats to the Deep Woods. In this new form, you can engage in daily conversations and gift-giving with Caldarus, just as you would with other romanceable NPCs in Mistria.

After breaking the Fire Seal, Caldarus can be found exclusively at his temple in the Deep Woods. To permanently unlock this area on your map, you'll need to use the Dragon’s Breath spell.

Currently, there are only a few cutscenes involving Caldarus. The first is a dream sequence at the game's start, introducing Mistria’s magic system and mechanics. The second occurs after breaking the Fire Seal, where Caldarus saves the farmer from being sealed and reveals his human form before retreating to recover in the Deep Woods. Both scenes are part of the natural story progression.

Following the March 2025 update, you can also trigger a special date with Caldarus during the Shooting Star Festival, which takes place on Summer 28 in-game.

To attend the festival with Caldarus, gift him the Star Brooch before 8 PM on Summer 28 and meet up afterward to confirm your attendance. This will initiate a cutscene of your date. Spoilers ahead!

During your date at the Summit, Caldarus expresses gratitude for the invitation and shares insights on the stars and the ancient Mistrian tradition of Starbinding. Your conversation delves into the nature of soul connections and the necessity of villains in every story, hinting at deeper narrative elements.
