Exciting news for fans of *Fields of Mistria*: Caldarus, the enigmatic dragon, can now be romanced with the game's Early Access update in March 2025. Here's your comprehensive guide to unlocking his romance questline, understanding event details, and learning about his gift preferences.
Use the quick links below to navigate directly to the sections you're interested in, or continue reading for a full rundown on how to win Caldarus' heart in Fields of Mistria.
To begin your 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 at the seal: a Sealing Scroll, a Faceted Rock Gem, an Emerald, and a Rockroot.
Once you've completed this offering, a cutscene will play where the Mines Priestess warns you to leave or risk being sealed with the Scroll. As your character's health dwindles, Caldarus dramatically appears, transforming into his human form. He bestows upon you the Dragon's Breath spell before retreating to the Deep Woods. In this new form, you can now interact with Caldarus, giving him gifts and engaging in daily conversations much like with other romanceable NPCs in Mistria.
After breaking the Fire Seal, you'll find Caldarus exclusively at his temple in the Deep Woods. Use the Dragon's Breath spell to unlock this area permanently on your map.
With the March 2025 update, Caldarus starts with six hearts upon being unlocked as a romance option. Currently, this is the maximum heart level, meaning there are no additional heart events available for him yet. However, future updates from NPC Studio are expected to introduce more events.
For now, you'll experience a few key cutscenes with Caldarus. The first is a dream sequence at the game's start, introducing you to Mistria’s magical elements. The second occurs after breaking the Fire Seal, where Caldarus rescues you from being sealed, revealing his human form before retreating to the Deep Woods to recover.
Following the March 2025 update, you can also embark on a real date with Caldarus during the Shooting Star Festival on Summer 28.

The Shooting Star Festival marks the end of summer in Fields of Mistria and offers a chance to take any romanceable NPC with four or more hearts on a date to the Summit to stargaze. Since Caldarus begins with six hearts, you're automatically eligible to go with him. To initiate this event, give Caldarus a Star Brooch before 8 PM on Summer 28, then meet up with him afterward to confirm your attendance. This will trigger a special cutscene of your date.
Spoilers ahead!
During your date at the Summit, Caldarus expresses gratitude for the invitation and shares insights about the stars and the ancient Mistrian tradition known as Starbinding. You'll have various dialogue options, delving into the nature of soul connections and the role of villains in stories. As the evening progresses, Caldarus reflects on the possibility of having attended the festival with you in a past life before inviting you to continue watching the stars at his temple.
Caldarus, having lived for centuries as a dragon, has developed unique tastes, particularly favoring seafood dishes. Below is a table detailing his preferred gifts:
| **LIKED GIFTS** | Beet Soup, Chili Coconut Curry, Chocolate Cake, Crab Cakes, Fish Tacos, Golden Cheesecake, Golden Cookies, Ice Cream Sundae, Lobster Roll, Marigold, Mushroom Steak Dinner, Perch Risotto, Pumpkin Pie, Sea Bream Rice, Spirit Mushroom Tea, Vegetable Pot Pie, Vegetable Quiche |
| **LOVED GIFTS** | Fried Rice, Harvest Plate, Mont Blanc, Seafood Boil, Seafood Snow Pea Noodles, Spring Galette, Statuette of Caldarus, Sushi Platter, Veggie Sub Sandwich |

Please note that Fields of Mistria is still in Early Access, and some of Caldarus' gift preferences might have changed with the March 2025 update. More details will be revealed in future updates from developer NPC Studio.
