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

To romance Caldarus in *Fields of Mistria*, you need to break the Fire Seal located on Floor 60 of the mines. You'll need to offer four specific items: a Sealing Scroll, a Faceted Rock Gem, an Emerald, and a Rockroot.

Once the offering is completed, 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 arrives, transforms into his human form, gifts you the Dragon’s Breath spell, and then retreats to the Deep Woods. In this form, you can interact with him through gifts and daily conversations, just like with other dateable 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, 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 for Caldarus in *Fields of Mistria* yet. However, more events are expected in future updates.

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 gameplay mechanics. The second occurs after breaking the Fire Seal, where Caldarus saves the farmer and reveals his human form before retreating to his temple to recover.

Following the March 2025 update, you can also initiate a real date with Caldarus during the Shooting Star Festival, an in-game event held 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. Since Caldarus starts at six hearts, you can automatically attend with him. To do so, gift him the Star Brooch before 8 PM on Summer 28 and meet up afterward to start the event, triggering a special cutscene.

During the Summit, Caldarus thanks you for the invitation and discusses the stars and the ancient Mistrian tradition known as Starbinding. The dialogue delves into existential topics about soul connections and the nature of relationships, hinting at deeper lore. He suggests you might have attended the event together in a past life, and after a moment of fatigue, invites you to watch the stars from his temple for the rest of the evening.
