Accessing Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria: A Guide

Since *Fields of Mistria* entered Early Access on Steam, the Deep Woods area has been marked on the town map. However, this location remained inaccessible until the game's March 2025 update. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to access the Deep Woods and locate Caldarus within *Fields of Mistria*.

How to Unlock the Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria

To unlock the Deep Woods, you must break the Fire Seal and utilize the new Dragon’s Breath spell to burn through the vines concealing the area. Start by placing four specific items on the Priestess’ Fire Seal altar located on Floor 60 of the mines: a Faceted Rock Gem, a Rockroot, an Emerald, and a Sealing Scroll. You can find the first three items between floors 50 and 59, but acquiring the Sealing Scroll requires teamwork with Juniper and Balor.

To help Balor obtain the Sealing Scroll, you'll need to deposit the following items in the bin by his wagon:

• x10 Silver Ingots
• x10 Rubies
• x10 Sapphires
• x10 Emeralds

Once these requirements are met, speak to Balor again; he will inform you that the scroll will be available the next day. With the scroll in hand, you can complete the offering at the altar.

Typically, breaking a magic seal results in a few parting words from the mysterious mines Priestess, concluding the task and unlocking a new biome. However, this time the outcome is different; the Priestess implores you to leave before the Sealing Scroll traps you inside. As your health diminishes, Caldarus appears in his human form to aid you, then retreats to his temple in the Deep Woods to regain his strength.

Caldarus leaves you with the Dragon’s Breath spell, which you can use to burn through the vines blocking the entrance to the Deep Woods. This spell also unlocks other previously inaccessible areas on the map. To use it, equip Dragon’s Breath from the pause menu and activate it while standing in front of the blocked entrance, permanently unlocking the Deep Woods and other areas.

How to Find Caldarus

After breaking the Fire Seal, you can find Caldarus in his temple within the Deep Woods, located north of the Eastern Road on your map. Use the Dragon’s Breath spell to access this area. Caldarus’ exact location will be marked on your map, similar to other NPCs, and he can be found in the northeast corner of the area.

To reach him, enter the Deep Woods, head right, and use your axe to chop down the stump blocking your path. Continue north until you arrive at the temple where Caldarus awaits.

Once the Deep Woods are unlocked, you can use the Dragon Statue on your farm to fast travel to the area for just 10 Essence. This method saves considerable time compared to traveling on foot or horseback. Additionally, you can interact with Caldarus through his statue in spirit form.
