"Guide to Accessing Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria"

Since *Fields of Mistria* entered Early Access on Steam, the Deep Woods area has been marked on the town map. However, this location remained inaccessible until the game's March 2025 update. Here's how to access the Deep Woods and find Caldarus in *Fields of Mistria*.

How To Unlock the Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria

To unlock the Deep Woods, you need to break the Fire Seal and use the new Dragon’s Breath spell to burn through the vines concealing the entrance. Start by placing 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. 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, leave the following items in the bin by his wagon:

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

Once you've provided these items, speak to Balor again, and he'll inform you that the scroll will be available the next day. After receiving the scroll, you can complete the offering at the altar.

Typically, breaking a magic seal results in a message from the mysterious mines Priestess and the unlocking of a new biome. However, this time, the plan goes awry, and 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 recover.

Caldarus leaves you with the Dragon’s Breath spell, which you can use to burn through the vines blocking the Deep Woods entrance. To use the spell, equip it from the pause menu and activate it in front of the entrance. This action will permanently unlock the Deep Woods and other hidden areas on the map.

How To Find Caldarus

After breaking the Fire Seal, locate Caldarus in his temple within the Deep Woods. The temple is north of the Eastern Road on your map, and you'll need the Dragon’s Breath spell to access this area. Caldarus' exact location is marked on your map, and you'll find him 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 until you reach the temple where Caldarus awaits.

Once the Deep Woods is unlocked, you can use the Dragon Statue on your farm to fast travel to this area for just 10 Essence. This makes visiting Caldarus quick and convenient, saving you time compared to traveling on foot or horseback.

You can also interact with Caldarus through his statue, even if it's just in spirit.
