Fields of Mistria are full of puzzles and unexpected turns. One memorable legend follows the Dragon statue and the ancient curse it guards. This guide outlines every step players must take to free the prisoner who has waited for centuries.
How to Save Kaldarus
Kaldarus is a central figure in the story. At the start of the game he speaks through the Dragon statue in the foggy grove at the Farm location, and later his monument can be found in the Narrows mines. These sculptures serve a practical purpose: players can exchange experience for new skills.
Which Skills Can Be Purchased at a Statue on the Farm
- Agriculture on the Farm – a skill that enables planting, growing, and harvesting crops. It is the main source of income and provides many ingredients for cooking.
- Fishing – a skill tied to catching fish with a rod or gathering items while diving. Fish can be caught in any pond, including mines, except the Stadsfontein.
- Archeology – a capability that influences the frequency of artifacts in studies of old sites.
- Cooking on the Farm Kitchen – a skill for preparing meals in the farm kitchen. Higher kitchen levels unlock new recipes. Kitchens can be purchased from a carpenter.
- Livestock Handling – improves the effectiveness of animal resources, feed use, and breeding speed.
- Woodworking – affects wood production, tool speed, and resource use when making items with a carpenter.
- Blacksmithing – increases crafting speed and reduces material use when forging metal items.

- Mining – the ability that increases mining speed and efficiency.
- Fighting – improves player damage, combat techniques, and the effectiveness of magical spells.
How to Open the Mines
The mines begin closed. To unlock them, players must speak with the museum caretaker. When the city reaches level ten, access to the mines is granted. After that, it becomes possible to improve combat and mining skills and to explore the dungeons.

- Lantern Moth – a flying insect that resembles a moth.
- Ruby – a precious red mineral from red ore.
- Stone Lower – a fish caught with a rod in dungeons.
- Upper Mines Mushroom – brown mushrooms that grow in the caves.
After gathering the items, the door on level twenty opens.

To reach the final mine levels and free Kaldarus, two plot missions must be completed: securing the sealing scroll and breaking the fire seal.
Procuring The Sealing Scroll Quest
Head to the sixtieth level of the mine and interact with the tablet at the door. Then travel to the city to translate the text found there. This will lead to the tavern where a roaming Balor merchant can be found. The man will request a meeting in a few days. Wait for the invitation to appear in the mailbox, then go to the merchant’s room in the tavern.
As a result, the following items must be obtained:
- Ruby – ten units, found in the Top Mines area 1 to 20.
- Sapphire – ten units, found in Tide Caverns levels 20 to 40.
- Emerald – ten units, crystals found in Deep Earth levels 40 to 60.
- Silver Ingot – ten ingots melted from silver ores found in Deep Earth 40 to 60. To obtain ten ingots, melt one hundred units of ore.
After gathering these treasures, go to the Balor shop. To the left of the cart is a box where everything must be placed. Then return home and rest. The next day a man will meet you outside the house and hand you the sealing scroll. Stones and ingots can sometimes appear for sale by a wandering trader.
Quest Breaking the Fire Seal
In the depths of the Deep Earth levels 40 to 60 players must locate the following items:
- Emerald – an emerald extracted from green ore.
- Faceted Rock Gem – a mysterious artefact in the form of a large green crystal.
- Rock Root – a plant that resembles stone and can be pulled from the ground.
- Seal (scroll) – obtained after completing the sealing scroll quest.
With these treasures, head to level sixty of the mines and use them on the old tablet to unlock the way to the final floors of the adit.
How to Free Kaldarus
After collecting the required objects and placing them at the entrance to the lowest dungeon floors, a cut scene reveals that the Dragon imprisoned in the stone has become a living person. The revelation is that the dragon was bound within the statue and kept from freedom for ages.
You can locate the dragon after a meeting in the mine near the Deep Forest. Travel north of the Eastern Road to reach the forest, where a house hides Kaldarus in human form. The prisoner rests after a long confinement, and waiting a few days allows full conversation.
Building a friendship with Kaldarus is possible. The best gifts are tasty meals prepared at home or bought from sturdy traders or in the city stable. Since the prisoner was freed from the stone curse, he gains six friendship hearts, which helps to rapidly build a strong bond. Gifts containing dragon body parts can greatly harm the relationship.
