Caldarus in Fields of Mistria: Everything You Need to Know

The world of Fields of Mistria is full of mysteries and unexpected twists of fate. One of the most touching stories is the fate of the dragon statue, which hides an ancient curse. In this guide, we will reveal all the steps that will help players free the prisoner from centuries-old shackles.
How to Save Caldarus
Caladus is an important storyline character. At the beginning of the game, he appears as a talking dragon statue in the Mistgrove Farm location, and later his monument can be found in the mines of The Narrows. These sculptures serve a practical function: players can use them to acquire skills in exchange for experience points.
What Skills Can Be Purchased from the Farm Statue
- Farming — a skill that allows you to plant, grow, and harvest crops on the farm. It is the main source of income as well as most of the ingredients for cooking.
- Fishing — a skill related to catching fish with a fishing rod or collecting items through diving. Fish can be caught in any body of water (including mines), except for the city fountain.
- Archaeology — a skill that affects the frequency of artifact drops when exploring ancient sites.
- Cooking — a skill related to cooking food in the farmhouse kitchen. Different kitchen levels unlock access to new recipes. Kitchens can be purchased from the carpenter.
- Ranching — a skill that affects the efficiency of resource extraction from animals, feed consumption, and their reproduction rate.
- Woodcrafting — a skill that affects the efficiency of wood extraction, speed, and resource consumption when creating items on the woodworking bench.
- Blacksmithing — a skill that affects the speed and resource consumption when creating metal items in the forge.
What Skills Can Be Purchased from the Mine Statue
- Mining — a skill that affects the speed and efficiency of mineral extraction.
- Combat — a skill that affects the damage dealt by the player, combat techniques, and the effectiveness of using magic spells.
How to Unlock the Mines
At the start of the game, the mines will be closed. To unlock them, you need to talk to the museum curator. Upon reaching the tenth level of city development, the man will grant access to the mine. After that, you can improve combat and mining skills, as well as explore dungeons.

- Lantern moth — a flying insect resembling a moth.
- Ruby — a precious mineral extracted from red ore.
- Stone loach — a fish that can be caught with a fishing rod in the dungeon's water bodies.
- Upper mines mushroom — a brown mushroom growing in caves.
After collecting all the necessary components, leave them at the door on the twentieth level.

- Coral mantis — an insect resembling a purple grasshopper.
- Sapphire — a precious stone extracted from blue ore.
- Archerfish — a fish that can be caught in the cave's water bodies.
- Jade dulse — a green plant resembling an elongated seaweed.
Place these items near the tablet on the fortieth level.
How to Unlock Lava Caves Level (61-80)
To unlock the final levels of the mine and free Caladus, you need to complete two storyline quests: Procuring the Sealing Scroll and Breaking the Fire Seal.
Quest Procuring the Sealing Scroll
Reach the sixtieth level of the mine and interact with the tablet at the door. Then go to the city to translate the text with Juniper. After that, you will find yourself in a tavern where you will meet the wandering trader Balor. The guy will ask for a meeting in a couple of days. Wait a few days until an invitation to the meeting appears in the mailbox. Then go to the trader's room in the tavern.
As a result, you will need to find the following items:
- Ruby — Ruby (10). The mineral needs to be extracted in the biome Upper Mines (1–20).
- Sapphire — Sapphire (10). The stone can be found on levels Tide Caverns (20–40).
- Emerald — Emerald (10). The crystal can be found in the dungeons Deep Earth (40–60).
- Silver Ingot — Silver Ingot (10). Silver Ore, from which Silver Ingot can be smelted in the forge, can be found at the stage Deep Earth (40–60). To obtain ten ingots, you need to smelt one hundred units of silver ore.
After obtaining the necessary items, go to Balor's shop. To the left of the cart is a chest where you need to place all the items. Then return home and go to sleep. The next day, a man will meet you at the exit of the house and give you the Sealing Scroll. Gems and ingots sometimes appear for sale from the wandering trader.
Quest Breaking the Fire Seal
In the depths of the Deep Earth (40–60) mine, you need to find the following items:
- Emerald — an emerald that can be extracted from green ore.
- Faceted rock gem — a mysterious artifact in the form of a massive greenish crystal.
- Rockroot — a plant resembling a stone stump, can be picked from the ground.
- Sealing scroll (scroll), you will receive only after completing the quest Procuring the Sealing Scroll.
After collecting all these treasures, head to the sixtieth level of the mines. There, at the ancient tablet, use them to open the path to the final levels of the shaft.
How to Free Caldarus
After the player collects the necessary items and leaves them at the entrance to the lowest levels of the dungeons, a cutscene will begin where the stone dragon Caladus transforms into a human. It turns out that all this time he was trapped in a serpentine statue. As a result, the protagonist will receive the fire spell Dragon's Breath.
You can find the dragon after the meeting in the mine in the location The Deep Woods. You can get there by using the fire spell Dragon's Breath in the north of the location The Eastern Road. Clear the thickets and head northeast of the forest until you find a house where you can meet Caladus in human form. The man will be resting after a long captivity. Wait a few days to fully interact with him.
You can build a friendly relationship with Caladus. The best gifts for the guy will be delicious dishes. Food can be cooked independently, as well as purchased from the wandering trader or in the city tavern. Since the main character freed the prisoner from the stone curse, he will have six hearts. This allows you to quickly build strong friendships. Gifts containing dragon body parts will greatly spoil the relationship with the potential friend.
