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

To romance 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. Once you complete the offering, a cutscene will play where the Mines Priestess warns you to leave or risk being sealed. As your health depletes, Caldarus heroically arrives, transforms into his human form, and bestows upon you the Dragon’s Breath spell before retreating to the Deep Woods. In his human guise, you can now engage in daily conversations and gift-giving with him, just as you would with other romanceable NPCs in Mistria.

After breaking the Fire Seal, Caldarus can be exclusively found at his temple in the Deep Woods. You'll need to use the Dragon’s Breath spell to permanently unlock this area on your map.

Caldarus’ Heart Events in Fields of Mistria

Upon unlocking Caldarus as a romanceable character in the March 2025 update, he starts with six hearts, which is currently the maximum heart level. Unfortunately, this means there are no additional heart events available for him at the moment. However, future updates from NPC Studio are expected to introduce more events.

Currently, there are 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 after breaking the Fire Seal, where Caldarus saves you from being sealed and reveals his human form before retreating to recover his strength. Both scenes are part of the natural story progression.

With the March 2025 update, you can trigger a real date with Caldarus during the Shooting Star Festival, 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 with six hearts, you can automatically invite him. To attend the festival with him, 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.

During the date at the Summit, Caldarus expresses gratitude for the invitation and discusses the stars and the ancient Mistrian tradition of Starbinding. The conversation delves into existential topics about soul connections and the necessity of villains in stories. He muses about past lives and, feeling fatigued, invites you to spend the rest of the evening watching the stars from his temple.
