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 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 face being sealed with the Sealing Scroll. As your health diminishes, Caldarus heroically intervenes, 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 with Caldarus through daily conversations and gift-giving, similar to interactions with other romanceable NPCs in Mistria.

After breaking the Fire Seal, you'll find Caldarus exclusively at his temple in the Deep Woods. Use the Dragon’s Breath spell to permanently unlock this area on your map.

Caldarus’ Heart Events in Fields of Mistria

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

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 when Caldarus saves the farmer from the Sealing Scroll after breaking the Fire Seal, revealing his human form and retreating to his temple to recover.

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

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 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 your invitation and discusses the stars and the ancient Mistrian tradition of Starbinding. Your conversation delves into the nature of connections and souls, touching on existential themes. Caldarus hints at past-life connections and, feeling fatigued, invites you to continue watching the stars from his temple.
