Bring all the materials to the altar, then watch the cutscene that unfolds. Caldarus will take on a humanoid form andretreat to the Deep Woods.
How To Enter The Deep Woods
Thedeep woods are blocked by large and tangled thorns, over by the carpenter’s shop to the far east of town. To unlock this region, you’ll need touse the Dragon’s Breath spellto burn through the brambles.
From there, enter the woods and head right. Hop over the stump, or cut it down, thenproceed north to the temple. Inside, you’ll find Caldarus resting.
After the cutscene plays,Caldarus will officially be up and aboutas a member of Mistria, though hestays almost exclusively at the temple.For obvious reasons.
Dragon
N/A
Everyone has their favorite things, and Caldarus is no exception. Despite awakening early and being less powerful than usual,he enjoys his humanoid form and all the foodthe town has to offer.
When Caldarus is unlocked, he’llstick to his temple in the Deep Woods. You’ll have to trek there to see him, oruse the teleportation statueto move about quickly. He hopes you’ll visit him often, though he wouldn’t want to impose.
Below areall of Caldarus’s favorite giftsso you may slowly, but surely, win his scaly old heart:
While Caldarus accepts gifts upon awakening, youwon’t earn any more points with him until the next updatesince he already has a golden heart.
Caldarus’s Hated Gift
Despite the Unknown Dragon Statuette resembling a dragon, it’snot a depiction of Caldarus–which suggests he has a history with whomever it’s based off of.
Caldarus Heart Events
Currently, there areno heart events for Caldarus, though you’ll notice that theheart icon beside his portrait is yellowin his humanoid form. This could be becausehe already feels close to you, having worked together since the beginning to explore the mines and practice magic.
He appeared rather distressed about the Sealing Scroll situation and awakened early to save you, which he wouldn’t do for just anyone.
Regardless,only single characters open to love have a heartnext to their name, so perhaps we’llsee more of Caldarus in futureupdates!
