How To Unlock the Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria
The Deep Woods area becomes accessible once you break the Fire Seal and utilize the newly acquired Dragon's Breath spell to clear the vines blocking the entrance in Fields of Mistria. To achieve this, you must first place four specific 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. The first three items can be found between floors 50 and 59, but acquiring the Sealing Scroll requires teamwork with Juniper and Balor.
To help Balor obtain the Sealing Scroll, you need to deposit the following items in the bin by his wagon:
- x10 Silver Ingots
- x10 Rubies
- x10 Sapphires
- x10 Emeralds
After fulfilling these requirements, speak with Balor again, and he will inform you that the item will be available the next day. Once you have the scroll, you can complete the offering.
Typically, breaking magic seals results in a few parting words from the mysterious mines Priestess, concluding the task and unlocking a new biome within the mines. However, this time, the outcome deviates from the norm. The Priestess urges you to leave the area before the Sealing Scroll inadvertently traps you inside. As your health diminishes, Caldarus appears in response to your call for help, taking on his human form and retreating to his temple in the Deep Woods to regain his strength.
Caldarus then requests that you find him at his temple, gifting you the Dragon's Breath spell. This powerful offensive spell can burn through the vines obscuring the entrance to the Deep Woods in Fields of Mistria. It can also be used to uncover other previously inaccessible areas on the map. To use it, equip Dragon's Breath from the pause menu and activate it while standing in front of the area's entrance. This action will permanently unlock the Deep Woods and other areas.

How To Find Caldarus
After breaking the Fire Seal, you can locate Caldarus inside his temple within the Deep Woods. This temple is situated to the north of the Eastern Road on your map, and accessing it requires the use of the Dragon's Breath spell. Caldarus' exact location is marked on your map, similar to other NPCs, and you'll find him in the northeast corner of the area.
To reach him, enter the Deep Woods and head right, using your axe to chop down the stump blocking your path. Continue north until you arrive at the temple, where Caldarus awaits inside.
Once the Deep Woods area is unlocked in Fields of Mistria, you can use the Dragon Statue on your farm to fast travel to the Deep Woods and visit Caldarus at any time. The teleportation costs just 10 Essence, making it a convenient option compared to traveling on foot or horseback.
You can also interact with Caldarus through his statue, albeit in spirit.
