How to Unlock Caldarus Events Gift Preferences ### 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 cutscene will play where the Mines Priestess warns the farmer to leave or risk being sealed with the Sealing Scroll. As your health depletes, 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 interact with Caldarus daily, giving him gifts and engaging in conversations just as you would with other romanceable NPCs in Mistria.

After breaking the Fire Seal, Caldarus can be found 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

With the March 2025 update, Caldarus starts with six hearts upon being unlocked as a romanceable character. Currently, this is the heart level cap, meaning there are no additional heart events available for Caldarus in Fields of Mistria at this time. However, future updates are expected to introduce more events.

For now, there are a few key 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.

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. Since Caldarus starts with 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 cutscene of your date. Spoilers ahead!

During the date at the Summit, Caldarus expresses gratitude for the invitation and discusses the stars and the ancient Mistrian tradition of Starbinding. You'll have various dialogue options to explore the concept of soul connections and the nature of relationships. The conversation delves into deeper themes, with Caldarus hinting at the necessity of villains in every story. He muses about past lives and, feeling fatigued, invites you to spend the rest of the evening watching the stars from his temple.
