"Unlocking the Deep Woods: A Guide for Fields of Mistria Players"

Since *Fields of Mistria* entered Early Access on Steam, the Deep Woods area has been marked on the town map, but it remained inaccessible until the game's March 2025 update. Here's a detailed guide on how to access the Deep Woods and locate Caldarus in *Fields of Mistria*.

How To Unlock the Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria

To unlock the Deep Woods, you must break the Fire Seal and utilize the newly acquired Dragon’s Breath spell to burn through the vines blocking the entrance. Start by placing four specific items on the Priestess’ Fire Seal altar located on Floor 60 of the mines: a Faceted Rock Gem, a Rockroot, an Emerald, and a Sealing Scroll. You can find the first three items between floors 50 and 59. To obtain the Sealing Scroll, you'll need to collaborate with Juniper and Balor.

To help Balor procure the Sealing Scroll, deposit the following items in the bin by his wagon:

• x10 Silver Ingots
• x10 Rubies
• x10 Sapphires
• x10 Emeralds

After fulfilling these requirements, speak with Balor again, and he will inform you that the scroll will be available the next day. Once you have the scroll, you can complete the offering at the altar.

Typically, breaking a magic seal results in a few words from the mysterious mines Priestess, concluding the task and unlocking a new biome. However, this time, the outcome deviates from the norm. The Priestess urges you to leave before the Sealing Scroll traps you inside. As your health diminishes, Caldarus appears in his human form to aid you, then retreats to his temple in the Deep Woods to regain his strength.

Caldarus then requests that you find him at his temple, gifting you the Dragon’s Breath spell. This spell is essential for burning through the vines that obscure the entrance to the Deep Woods. It can also be used to uncover other previously inaccessible areas on the map. To use it, equip Dragon’s Breath from the pause menu and activate it while standing in front of the area’s entrance. This action will permanently unlock the Deep Woods and other areas.

How To Find Caldarus

After breaking the Fire Seal, you can locate Caldarus inside his temple in the Deep Woods. The temple is situated to the north of the Eastern Road on your map. Use the Dragon’s Breath spell to access the area. Caldarus' exact location is marked on your map, similar to other NPCs, and you'll find him in the northeast corner of the area.

To reach him, enter the Deep Woods, head right, and use your axe to chop down the stump blocking your path. Continue north until you reach the temple, where Caldarus awaits inside.

Once the Deep Woods area is unlocked, you can use the Dragon Statue on your farm to fast travel to the Deep Woods and visit Caldarus at any time. The teleportation costs just 10 Essence, making it a convenient option compared to traveling on foot or horseback.

You can also interact with Caldarus through his statue, albeit in spirit.
