Fields of Mistria: How to find Caldarus, complete gift guide
One of the biggest draws of any cozy game is the possibility of befriending and even romancing one of the NPCs. Fields of Mistria is no different, and as of the second major update, players can now fully befriend the dragon-esque Caldarus. Caldarus has, technically, been in Fields of Mistria from the very beginning, as a statue on the farm who absorbs our essence and allows us to gain Skill Perks to work our way through the story. However, he’s now a fully fledged and mostly human character for players to get close to. Table of contents How to find Caldarus in Fields of Mistria Caldarus gift guide Caldarus’ loved gifts Calarus’ liked gifts What not to give Caldarus How to find Caldarus in Fields of Mistria Screenshot by Destructoid To find Caldarus, you’ll first need to work your way through unlocking the Fire Seal at level 60 of the Mines. Once you’ve gathered up all of the necessary resources and placed them onto their pedestals, Caldarus will appear after things go a little bit wrong. At first, he’ll be in his dragon form, watching over you and trying to help when you get trapped in a glowing circle. However, when you prove unresponsive, Caldarus will transform into his more human form to help you. Sadly, he uses up most of his remaining essence in the process and then heads off to his shine in the Deep Woods. Screenshot by Destructoid So now you need to get into the Deep Woods, which you can do using the Dragon’s Breath spell Caldarus bestowed upon you before he left the Mines. Head up to the north of The Eastern Road and use the Dragon’s Breath spell to burn through the wall of thorns, gaining access to the new area. Inside the Deep Woods, Caldarus will always be in or around his Shrine in the northeast. You’ll need to break through a large stump blocking your way each day when you want to visit. At first, he’ll be in bed recovering, but he’ll slowly gain his strength and get back on his feet. Caldarus gift guide Image by Destructoid As with all other villagers of Mistria, once Caldarus is in his human(ish) form, you can talk to him regularly throughout the day and give him a daily gift. If you want to grow as close to him as possible, you’ll need to know what gifts will gain you the most friendship points when given to him. The good news is that he automatically has 6 hearts of friendship, so you’ve got a beefy headstart to the process. It should come as no surprise that, having spent a very long time trapped as a statue, Caldarus is hungry. As such, most of his favored gifts are food-based. If you don’t want to cook these, you can find them for sale from time to time at the Inn, Balor’s Wagon, or Darcy’s Stall at the Weekend Market. Some of them also drop when harvesting ingredients that have been grown on the Farm.
