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

To romance 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. Once you complete the offering, a cutscene will play where the Mines Priestess warns you to leave or risk being sealed yourself. As your health depletes, Caldarus heroically appears, transforming into his human form, granting you the Dragon’s Breath spell, and then retreating to the Deep Woods. In this new form, you can interact with Caldarus daily, giving him gifts and engaging in conversations just like with other romanceable NPCs in Mistria.

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

Caldarus’ Heart Events in Fields of Mistria

With the March 2025 update, Caldarus starts with six hearts upon becoming romanceable, which is currently the heart level cap. Unfortunately, there are no additional heart events available for Caldarus at this time, but future updates are expected to add more. 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 after breaking the Fire Seal, where Caldarus saves you 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 date with Caldarus during the Shooting Star Festival, which takes place 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 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!*

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