"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. However, the location was inaccessible until the game's March 2025 update. Here's how to access the Deep Woods and where to find Caldarus in *Fields of Mistria*.

The Deep Woods area becomes accessible after you break the Fire Seal and utilize the new Dragon’s Breath spell to clear the vines that have been hiding the entrance in *Fields of Mistria*. To achieve this, you first need to place four 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. While the first three items can be found between floors 50 and 59, acquiring the Sealing Scroll requires teamwork with Juniper and Balor.

To help Balor obtain the Sealing Scroll, you'll need to deposit the following items in the bin by his wagon:

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

Once you've fulfilled these requirements, speak to Balor again. He will inform you that the item will be ready the following day. After this, you can complete the offering.

Typically, breaking magical seals results in a few parting words from the mysterious mines Priestess, concluding the task and unlocking a new biome within the mines. However, this time, things don't go as planned, and the Priestess urges you to leave before the Sealing Scroll traps you inside. With your health diminished, Caldarus appears when you call for help, assuming his human form and retreating to his temple in the Deep Woods to regain his strength.

Caldarus then instructs you to find him at his temple, granting you a new spell: Dragon’s Breath. This offensive spell is essential for burning through the vines that block the entrance to the Deep Woods in *Fields of Mistria*. 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, stand in front of the area's entrance, and activate the spell. This action will permanently unlock the Deep Woods and other areas.

How To Find Caldarus

After breaking the Fire Seal, you can find Caldarus inside his temple in the Deep Woods. This location is situated to the north of the Eastern Road on your map, and you'll need to use the Dragon’s Breath spell to access the area. Caldarus' exact location is marked on your map, similar to other NPCs. He awaits you 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. Once cleared, proceed north until you reach the temple where Caldarus resides.

Once the Deep Woods area is unlocked in *Fields of Mistria*, 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 and time-saving option compared to traveling on foot or horseback.

You can still interact with Caldarus through his statue, connecting with him in spirit.
