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.

Upon completing the offering, a captivating cutscene unfolds where the Mines Priestess warns the farmer to leave or risk being sealed alongside the Scroll. As the farmer's health dwindles, Caldarus heroically appears, transforming into his human form. He leaves the player with the Dragon’s Breath spell and retreats to the Deep Woods. In this new form, you can engage with Caldarus, giving him gifts and conversing daily, just as you would with other dateable NPCs in Mistria.

After breaking the Fire Seal, Caldarus can be exclusively found at his temple in the Deep Woods. To permanently unlock this area on your map, you must use the Dragon’s Breath spell.

The second occurs after breaking the Fire Seal, where Caldarus saves the farmer and reveals his human form before retreating to recover in the Deep Woods. These scenes progress naturally with the story.
