Fields of Mistria Caldarus: Unlock and Romance
Direct answer
Caldarus is Mistria's male dragon guardian and a marriage candidate whose birthday is Spring 25. His active route opens through the Fire Tablet and the Breaking the Fire Seal quest, which unlocks the Deep Woods and further relationship progression. After that sequence, the collected guide says he takes a human form, grants Dragon's Breath, and can be found around his Deep Woods home. [S1][S2][V1]

Detailed guide
Who Caldarus is
The captured profile identifies Caldarus as a dragon, male, single before marriage, and yellow-eyed, with a Spring 25 birthday. He first appears through a dragon statue, while the later profile and guide material connect him with a dragon form presented through a human-like appearance. His role is not simply a resident profile because the statue, the player's Essence, and his early dream contact are tied directly to progression. [S1]
Repairing the statue creates a pact that the player does not initially understand, and Caldarus then asks for Essence through dreams. The statue supports skill upgrades during this earlier part of the game, so players can interact with his system before the later Deep Woods route becomes available. The sources describe him as recently awakened and affected by apparent amnesia, but they do not provide a complete current story transcript. [S1]
How to unlock the Caldarus route
Progress through the mines until the Fire Tablet and Fire Seal storyline becomes available, then follow the Breaking the Fire Seal quest. The captured guide places the seal at mine level 60 and directs the player to speak with Juniper at the Bathhouse after obtaining the tablet. That guide also mentions emeralds, sapphires, and rubies during the quest, but this page does not invent quantities that were not preserved clearly in the evidence pack. [S2][V1]
Completing Breaking the Fire Seal opens access to the Deep Woods and advances the Caldarus relationship route. The quest source lists Dragon's Breath as a reward, and the guide says that spell removes the vines blocking the path into the new area. This entire sequence is a story spoiler, so players who only wanted his birthday or gift information can stop before following the route details. [S2][V1]
Finding his Deep Woods home
The guide places Caldarus's home in the upper-right part of the Deep Woods after the seal sequence. It says the route can include large stumps and a large rock, with at least a copper axe and copper pickaxe used to clear those obstacles. The evidence does not provide a timed daily schedule, so the safe location guidance is his home or the area around it rather than a made-up hour-by-hour route. [S2]
Dragon's Breath is also described as exposing caves that contain sprinkler and auto-petter recipes. That supporting detail can make the Deep Woods trip useful beyond romance progression, although the material pack does not provide a complete cave map. Treat the human form, the new home, and the spell reward as progression-sensitive information rather than facts a new player is expected to see immediately. [S2]
Loved and liked gifts
The strongest named loved gifts shared by the collected character and gift material are Apple Honey Curry, Fried Rice, Harvest Plate, Mont Blanc, Seafood Boil, Seafood Snow Pea Noodles, Spring Galette, Statuette of Caldarus, Sushi Platter, and Veggie Sub Sandwich. A shorter guide capture also names Caldarus Statuette, Veggie Sub Sandwich, Apple Honey Curry, and Spring Galette, which is consistent with that broader list. These are source-backed names, but shop stock and recipe access can still depend on progression. [S1][S2]
Named liked gifts include Beet Soup, Breath of Flame, Chili Coconut Curry, Chocolate Cake, Crab Cakes, Fish Tacos, Golden Cheesecake, Golden Cookies, Ice Cream Sundae, Incredibly Hot Pot, Lobster Roll, Marigold, Mushroom Steak Dinner, Perch Risotto, Pumpkin Pie, Sea Bream Rice, Spell Fruit Parfait, Spirit Mushroom Tea, Vegetable Pot Pie, and Vegetable Quiche. The source extraction sometimes flattened recipe and store rows, so this page keeps the readable preference names without inventing prices or guaranteed vendors. A liked item is a useful fallback when a loved recipe is unavailable, but the material does not rank these items by acquisition difficulty. [S1][S2]
Gifts to avoid
The captured preference table marks Junk, Bugs, Dragon Parts, and Weird Gifts as disliked categories. Dragon's Claw and Dragon's Scale are specifically listed as disliked in the gift material, while Unknown Dragon Statuette is listed as hated. A separate guide speculates about one Dragon's Scale reaction, but the structured gift source is the safer basis for the warning used here. [S1][S2]
Do not assume that every dragon-themed object is a good Caldarus gift merely because it matches his identity. The collected material makes the opposite point for Dragon Parts and distinguishes Statuette of Caldarus from Unknown Dragon Statuette. Any unlisted item should remain unclassified on this page instead of being assigned a reaction by analogy. [S1][S2]
Romance progression in version 1.0
The official version 1.0 announcement confirms 10-heart proposal and wedding events, marriage, and children as current systems in the full release. The Caldarus-specific guide also reports that his starting affection may be adjusted to reflect main-story progress, meaning a player farther through the story may not begin from the same visible relationship state as an earlier player. The sources do not establish one fixed current starting-heart number, so this article deliberately leaves that value unclaimed. [S2][V2]
The unlock route and general marriage system are supported, but a complete Caldarus event-by-event heart table is not present in the collected evidence. Players should therefore use the Fire Seal route and named gift preferences as the dependable practical steps, then follow the relationship profile in the current game for the exact next event. This avoids mixing an older Early Access heart-cap discussion with the confirmed version 1.0 relationship system. [S1][S2][V2]
Story and appearance notes
The character material describes Caldarus as extremely old, curious about humans, and inexperienced with ordinary human chores and cooking. It also says he enjoys cuisine, nature, socializing, and playing the lute, while his human-form presentation retains visible dragon traits such as horns, pointed ears, a tail, and wing-like markings. These details come from captured profile prose and should not be expanded into new dialogue or scenes that the sources do not contain. [S1]
Caldarus's human form, Deep Woods residence, Fire Seal connection, and possible post-marriage state are all substantial spoilers. The profile contains seasonal, beach, bathhouse, and wedding outfit labels, but the evidence pack does not include a complete reusable image gallery. For that reason, this article summarizes only the supported appearance text and does not claim to provide official full-body artwork. [S1][S2]
