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 your comprehensive 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

Unlocking the Deep Woods requires breaking the Fire Seal and utilizing the newly acquired Dragon's Breath spell to clear the vines blocking the entrance. To break the Fire Seal, you must place four specific items on the Priestess' altar at Floor 60 in the mines: a Faceted Rock Gem, a Rockroot, an Emerald, and a Sealing Scroll. The first three items can be found between floors 50 and 59, but acquiring the Sealing Scroll requires teamwork with Juniper and Balor.

To help Balor obtain the Sealing Scroll, you need to 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. He'll inform you that the Sealing Scroll will be ready the following day, allowing you to complete the offering.

Typically, breaking a magic seal results in a few words from the mysterious mines Priestess, signaling the end of the task and the unlocking of a new biome. However, this time, things don't go as planned. The Priestess urges you to leave before the Sealing Scroll traps you inside. As your health depletes, Caldarus appears in his human form to rescue you, then retreats to his temple in the Deep Woods to regain his strength.

Caldarus then requests you to find him at his temple, gifting you the Dragon's Breath spell. This powerful offensive spell burns through the vines blocking the Deep Woods' entrance and can unlock other previously inaccessible areas. To use it, equip Dragon's Breath from the pause menu and activate it while standing in front of the blocked entrance, permanently unlocking the Deep Woods and other hidden areas.

How To Find Caldarus

After breaking the Fire Seal, you can locate Caldarus inside his temple in the Deep Woods, found 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 like other NPCs, in the northeast corner of the Deep Woods.

To reach him, enter the Deep Woods, head right, and use your axe to chop down the stump blocking your path. Continue north to 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 there for just 10 Essence, saving time compared to traveling on foot or horseback. You can also interact with Caldarus through his statue, albeit in spirit.
