How to get into the Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria
The Deep Woods is a whole new area added to Fields of Mistria in the second major update. It’s been trapped behind a wall of thorns since the game released into early access in August 2024, but now it’s finally open for players to explore. If you’ve ever wondered what's beyond the thorn-covered stairs in the north of The Eastern Road, then wonder no more. With features added in the update, it’s possible to break through the thorns and get to the Deep Woods. Where to find the Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria Screenshot by Destructoid If you head to The Eastern Road, where the Wishing Well and the Carpenter's Shop are, and then head as far north as you can get, you'll come across a wall of thorns blocking off some stairs. This is the entrance to the Deep Woods. If you've not yet reached floor 60 of the Mines and broken the Fire Seal, you won't be able to get past these thorns, so head there first and then come back once you've reached the Lava Caves. How to get into the Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria Screenshot by Destructoid Before you can get into the Deep Woods, you’ll need to get deep into the Mines. Once you hit floor sixty, having already broken through the Water Seal and the Earth Seal, you’ll be confronted with the Fire Seal. Unlocking this door is not as straightforward as the previous two, but once you’ve done it, you’ll meet Caldarus in his human form for the first time. After saving you from the nightmare of the Sealing Scroll at the Fire Seal, Caldarus will tell you he’s heading off to the Deep Woods to rest at his Shrine. Using the spell he bestowed upon you after unlocking the Fire Seal, Dragon’s Breath, you can head to the thorn wall and burn it down easily, gaining access to the Deep Woods. What’s in the Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria? Screenshot by Destructoid The main draw of the Deep Woods is Caldarus’ Shrine in the northeast, but there are other things to be found in the new area. To the northwest of the entrance to the Deep Woods, you’ll find some large pine trees with grave markers in them. Most are too high to read, but the front two are within reach. The left two are for Olric and March’s parents, Jade and Olin. The one on the right tree is for Greta, who once resided on Sweetwater Farm. There is also a small pile of moss-covered stones on a rock in the bottom corner of the tree area. If you interact with these stones, you’ll learn that they were put there "a long time ago," but no further information is given. Outside of these two attractions and Caldarus’ Shrine to the northeast, you’ll also be able to find a selection of new Forageables, Fish, and Artifacts. Most of them can be handed in at the Museum as part of the new sets, so you want to keep an eye out for anything new. There’s only one Fishing spot in the Deep Woods, the pond in the center of the map, so all the new Fish can be found there. You’re also able to catch fish that were previously available in other areas, as well, so you may be fishing for a while.
