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. Here, you must offer four items: a Sealing Scroll, a Faceted Rock Gem, an Emerald, and a Rockroot. Upon completing this offering, a cutscene will play where the Mines Priestess warns the farmer to leave or risk being sealed. As your health diminishes, Caldarus heroically arrives, transforms into his human form, and gifts you the Dragon’s Breath spell before retreating to the Deep Woods. Once transformed, you can interact with Caldarus through gifts and daily conversations, similar to other romanceable NPCs in Mistria.
After breaking the Fire Seal, Caldarus can be found at his temple in the Deep Woods. To access this area permanently, you must use the Dragon’s Breath spell to unlock it on your map.
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, so there are no additional heart events for Caldarus in *Fields of Mistria* yet. However, future updates from NPC Studio may introduce more. For now, there are a couple of cutscenes featuring the dragon. The initial dream sequence at the game's start introduces Mistria's magic system and mechanics, while the second cutscene shows Caldarus rescuing the farmer from being sealed after breaking the Fire Seal, revealing his human form and retreating to recover in the Deep Woods.
Post the March 2025 update, you can also experience a real date with Caldarus during the Shooting Star Festival, an in-game event held on Summer 28.

The Shooting Star Festival marks the end of summer in *Fields of Mistria*, offering a chance to take any romanceable NPC with four hearts or more on a date to the Summit to watch the stars. Since Caldarus begins with six hearts, you can automatically attend with him. To secure your date, gift him the Star Brooch before 8 PM on Summer 28 and meet up afterward to confirm your participation. This triggers a special cutscene where Caldarus expresses gratitude for the invitation, discusses the stars and the Mistrian tradition of Starbinding, and delves into existential conversations about soul connections. The date ends with an invitation to watch the stars from his temple.
