How To Access the Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria

Since *Fields of Mistria* launched in Steam Early Access, the Deep Woods has tantalizingly appeared on the town map, a tempting yet inaccessible location…until now! The March 2025 update finally unlocks this intriguing area. Here's how to access the Deep Woods and locate Caldarus.

Unlocking the Deep Woods in *Fields of Mistria*

The key to unlocking the Deep Woods lies in breaking the Fire Seal and utilizing the newly acquired Dragon’s Breath spell to melt away the obstructing vines. This requires a specific offering to the Priestess's Fire Seal altar (Floor 60 of the mines): a Faceted Rock Gem, Rockroot, Emerald, and a Sealing Scroll. The first three items are found between floors 50 and 59. However, obtaining the Sealing Scroll requires a bit more legwork.

To acquire the scroll, you must leave these items in the bin near Balor's wagon: 10 Silver Ingots, 10 Rubies, 10 Sapphires, and 10 Emeralds. After meeting this requirement, speak with Balor; he'll inform you the scroll will arrive the following day. Once you've completed the offering, prepare for the unexpected.

Instead of a simple seal-breaking, the Priestess pleads for you to escape before the scroll seals you within the mines. As your health plummets, Caldarus appears, assuming his human form and retreating to his temple in the Deep Woods to recuperate. He then tasks you with finding him there, bestowing upon you the Dragon’s Breath spell.

This powerful spell not only clears the path to the Deep Woods but also unlocks other previously inaccessible areas. Equip Dragon’s Breath from the pause menu and activate it while facing the entrance to permanently open the way.

Finding Caldarus

Caldarus awaits within his temple in the Deep Woods, located north of the Eastern Road. Use Dragon’s Breath to access the area, and you’ll find his location clearly marked on your map, just like other NPCs. He resides in the northeast corner of the Deep Woods.

Once unlocked, utilize the Dragon Statue on your farm for convenient fast travel to the Deep Woods. For a mere 10 Essence, you can instantly visit Caldarus, saving valuable time. Note that you can still interact with Caldarus through his statue.
