How to unlock Caldarus in Fields of Mistria
To unlock Caldarus, you'll need to be pretty far in the game. Here’s what to do:
- Reach the 60th floor of the mines and interact with the fire seal in the center.
- This triggers the Breaking the Fire Seal quest. Follow the questline and collect all four required items – it’ll take a few in-game days.
- Once you have The Sealing Scroll, offer it to the fire seal in the mines. This will trigger a cutscene where you meet Caldarus.
- Head to the Deep Woods and use your newly acquired Dragon’s Breath Spell on the vines to access Caldarus’s castle.
Now you can visit him anytime you want, bring him gifts and make sure he’s getting better.
Can you romance Caldarus?
After completing the Breaking the Final Seal quest, Caldarus will already have a Yellow Heart – the highest affection level you can reach for now. It’s unclear how his story will unfold, but for now, there doesn’t seem to be a fully implemented romance option with him.

Since Caldarus has a heart icon by his name, he’s likely the mysterious 11th love interest hinted at in the game’s trailer. While his horns don’t exactly match those of the unknown figure, the hair outline is strikingly similar. Maybe he’ll lose the horns later or find a way to hide them. We’ll have to wait for the next update to find out.
And still, no Olric as a potential husband... what a waste. No co-op or multiplayer yet either. But hey, the game is still in early access, so fingers crossed that some features well-known from Stardew Valley make their way here too.
Best and worst gifts for Caldarus
Even if you can’t romance him (for now), it’s still good to be prepared. Here’s what he loves:
- Statuette of Caldarus
- Veggie Sub Sandwich
- Seafood Boil
- Harvest Plate
- Spring Galette
- Apple Honey Curry
- Sushi Platter
But whatever you do, don’t give him Unknown Dragon Statuette, he will hate it!
