How to Unlock Caldarus as a Romanceable Character in Fields of Mistria

To begin your romantic journey with Caldarus in *Fields of Mistria*, you must 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. Once you complete the offering, a dramatic cutscene unfolds where the Mines Priestess warns the farmer to leave or risk being sealed with the Scroll. As your health depletes, Caldarus heroically intervenes, transforming into his human form, gifting you the Dragon’s Breath spell, and retreating to the Deep Woods.

After this pivotal moment, you can interact with Caldarus in his human form, giving him gifts and engaging in daily conversations, much like with other romanceable NPCs in Mistria. To permanently unlock the Deep Woods on your map, use the Dragon’s Breath spell at Caldarus' temple.

Caldarus’ Heart Events in Fields of Mistria

With the March 2025 update, Caldarus starts with six hearts upon becoming romanceable, which is currently the heart level cap. As a result, there are no additional heart events for him at the moment, but future updates are expected to expand on this.

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

Following the update, you can also trigger a special date with Caldarus during the Shooting Star Festival, held on Summer 28.

The Shooting Star Festival marks the end of summer in *Fields of Mistria*, offering a chance to take romanceable NPCs with four or more hearts on a date to the Summit to watch the stars. Since Caldarus starts at six hearts, you're automatically eligible to attend with him. To secure your date, gift him a Star Brooch before 8 PM on Summer 28 and meet up afterward to confirm your attendance. This triggers a special cutscene where Caldarus expresses gratitude for the invitation, discusses the stars and the ancient Mistrian tradition of Starbinding, and delves into philosophical discussions about soul connections and life's narratives. The evening concludes with an invitation to watch the stars from his temple.
