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

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. As your health dwindles, Caldarus heroically appears, transforming into his human form, gifting you the Dragon’s Breath spell, and retreating 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.

Caldarus’ Heart Events in Fields of Mistria

Upon unlocking Caldarus as a romanceable character with the March 2025 update, he starts with a heart level of six, which is currently the cap. Unfortunately, there are no additional heart events available for Caldarus at this time, but future updates are expected to expand on this. Currently, you can experience a few cutscenes involving the dragon. 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, revealing his human form and retreating to recover in the Deep Woods. Both scenes are part of the natural story progression.

Following the update, you can also trigger a real date with Caldarus during the Shooting Star Festival, an in-game event on Summer 28.

The Shooting Star Festival

The Shooting Star Festival marks the end of summer in *Fields of Mistria*, offering a chance to take any romanceable NPC with four or more hearts on a date to the Summit to watch the stars. With Caldarus starting at six hearts, you're automatically eligible to go with him. To attend the festival with Caldarus, gift him the Star Brooch before 8 PM on Summer 28 and meet up afterward to confirm your readiness. This will initiate a special cutscene of your date. *Spoilers ahead!*

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 existential topics, discussing soul connections and the necessity of villains in every story. Caldarus muses about past lives and, feeling fatigued, invites you to spend the rest of the evening watching the stars from his temple.
