Complete Fields of Mistria Caldarus Romance Guide: How To Unlock, Events, Best Gifts

In the enchanting world of *Fields of Mistria*, the March 2025 update brings exciting news for romance enthusiasts: Caldarus, the dragon, is now unlockable as a romanceable character. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to unlock his romance questline, details on special events, and his gift preferences.

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 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 dramatic cutscene unfolds 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 and granting you the Dragon’s Breath spell before 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 exclusively at his temple in the Deep Woods. To permanently unlock this area on your map, you'll need to 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, which is the current heart level cap. Unfortunately, there are no additional heart events for Caldarus at this time, but future updates are expected to add more. Currently, you can experience a few cutscenes with the dragon. The first is a dream sequence at the game's start, introducing you to 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 update, you can also trigger a special 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'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 cutscene of your date. *Spoilers ahead!*

During the date at the Summit, Caldarus expresses gratitude for the invitation and shares insights on 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.
