Accessing Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria: A Guide

Since *Fields of Mistria* entered Early Access on Steam, the Deep Woods area has been a point of intrigue on the town map, but remained inaccessible until the game's eagerly awaited March 2025 update. This update has finally opened the way to explore the Deep Woods and meet Caldarus, a key character in the game. Here's your guide on how to unlock the Deep Woods and locate Caldarus in *Fields of Mistria*.

How To Unlock the Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria

Unlocking the Deep Woods is an adventure in itself. You'll need to break the Fire Seal and learn the Dragon's Breath spell to clear the obstructing vines. To start, you must gather four items to place on the Priestess' Fire Seal altar located on Floor 60 in the mines: a Faceted Rock Gem, a Rockroot, an Emerald, and a Sealing Scroll. The first three can be found between floors 50 and 59. Acquiring the Sealing Scroll requires teamwork with Juniper and Balor.

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

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

After meeting these requirements, speak to Balor again. He'll inform you that the scroll will be available the next day, allowing you to complete the offering.

Typically, breaking a magic seal grants you some final words from the mysterious Priestess, unlocking new biomes. However, this time the outcome takes an unexpected turn. The Priestess warns you to leave before the Sealing Scroll traps you inside. As your health dwindles, Caldarus appears in his human form, urging you to find him in his temple within the Deep Woods for recovery.

Caldarus leaves you with the Dragon's Breath spell, a powerful tool not only for accessing the Deep Woods but also for revealing other hidden areas on the map. To use it, equip Dragon's Breath from the pause menu, then activate it in front of the entrance to the Deep Woods. This action will permanently unlock the area, opening up new adventures.

How To Find Caldarus

Once you've broken the Fire Seal, head to Caldarus' temple in the Deep Woods. Located north of the Eastern Road, the temple's entrance is marked on your map. Use the Dragon's Breath spell to gain access. Inside, make your way right, using your axe to clear a blocking stump, then proceed north to reach the temple where Caldarus awaits in the northeast corner.

After unlocking the Deep Woods, you can use the Dragon Statue on your farm to fast travel to this area, making visits to Caldarus quick and efficient. It costs just 10 Essence to teleport, saving you time compared to traveling by foot or horseback. Even when you're not physically present, you can still interact with Caldarus through his statue, maintaining your connection in spirit.
