Accessing Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria: A Guide

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

How to Unlock the Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria

Unlocking the Deep Woods in *Fields of Mistria* requires breaking the Fire Seal and utilizing the new Dragon’s Breath spell to clear the obstructing vines. To break the Fire Seal, you must place four specific items on the Priestess’ Fire Seal altar located at Floor 60 in the mines: a Faceted Rock Gem, a Rockroot, an Emerald, and a Sealing Scroll. While the first three items are obtainable between floors 50 and 59, acquiring the Sealing Scroll requires teamwork 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 to Balor again; he will inform you that the Sealing Scroll will be ready the following day, allowing you to complete the offering.

Upon breaking the seal, expect an unexpected twist: instead of the usual closing remarks from the mines Priestess, she urges you to leave due to the Sealing Scroll's risk of trapping you inside. As your health diminishes, Caldarus appears in his human form, coming to your rescue before retreating to his temple in the Deep Woods to regain his strength. He leaves you with the Dragon’s Breath spell, which you can use to burn through the vines blocking the Deep Woods entrance. To unlock the Deep Woods and other hidden areas, equip Dragon’s Breath from the pause menu and activate it in front of the entrance.

How to Find Caldarus

Once the Fire Seal is broken, you can locate Caldarus in his temple within the Deep Woods. This area is situated to the north of the Eastern Road on your map and requires the Dragon’s Breath spell to access. Caldarus' exact location is marked on your map like other NPCs, and you'll find him in the northeast corner of the area.

To reach him, enter the Deep Woods and head right, using your axe to clear a stump blocking your path. Continue north until you reach the temple where Caldarus awaits.

After unlocking the Deep Woods, you can use the Dragon Statue on your farm to fast travel to the area for just 10 Essence, making visits to Caldarus more convenient. You can also interact with Caldarus through his statue in spirit form.
