Caldarus is a romanceable dragon in Fields of Mistria, and his birthday is Spring 25. His early heart milestones are tied to main story progress instead of the regular two, four, and six heart event pattern. Advance the Water Tablet, Earth Tablet, and Fire Seal objectives, then follow the later romance route toward 10 hearts and an Engagement Ring proposal.
Caldarus at a glance
Caldarus's current Mistria Guide page identifies him as a romanceable dragon. It lists his birthday as Spring 25 and his gender as male. The profile does not publish a longer biography, so this overview stays with those current facts.
Caldarus is one of the 12 marriage candidates in the full 1.0 release. Official guidance says eligible marriage candidates are not restricted by player gender. Any player can pursue his route once the necessary story progression has been completed.
Why Caldarus advances differently
Caldarus does not use standard character events at two, four, and six hearts according to the collected event record. His relationship instead increases automatically at those milestones as the player completes specific parts of the main story. This makes story progress essential to his early route even when regular friendship actions are also being used.
The two heart milestone is tied to completing the Water Tablet objective. The four heart milestone is tied to completing the Earth Tablet objective, while the six heart milestone follows Breaking the Fire Seal. As of August 11, 2026, Caldarus's current character page publishes this combined early milestone entry and does not list separate eight or 10 heart character event instructions.
Do not substitute another candidate's event sequence when Caldarus appears to pause at an early milestone. Check the main story objectives first because his documented progression is linked to those three named tasks. Once the later relationship content becomes available, use the active in game quest text for its exact location and requirements.
Gifts and birthday planning
Caldarus's current Mistria Guide page publishes 10 loved gifts, 20 liked gifts, and one most hated gift. The names below were read directly from the live page on August 11, 2026. It also lists Junk, Bugs, Dragon parts, and Weird gifts as disliked item tags.

Spring 25 is the confirmed date to place on a yearly relationship plan. Caldarus's current character page states that birthday gifts receive 20 extra friendship points. It does not publish separate friendship point values for loved and liked gifts, so this guide leaves those tier values unnumbered.
How Caldarus romance works in version 1.0
Version 1.0 raised the relationship cap to 10 hearts and introduced proposal events, weddings, marriage, and optional children. Caldarus reaches the early milestones through story objectives, while the later romantic choice and proposal still belong to the full release relationship system. Early Access pages with lower caps cannot describe his complete current path.
The game allows players to date multiple candidates before confirming one engagement. Official patch notes say every 10 heart proposal event can be viewed and each candidate's special item can be collected before the final decision. A player can therefore see Caldarus's complete proposal material while still considering the other eligible characters.
Engagement is the commitment point that affects other active dating relationships. Those candidates move to Best Friends by default and may send breakup letters after an engagement is confirmed. Version 1.0 includes settings for the letters and visible status changes, and the available options should be reviewed before the final choice.
Engagement and marriage with Caldarus
For a candidate who is dating the player at 10 hearts, Elsie visits the farm the next morning and provides the Engagement Ring recipe. The official patch notes confirm that general unlock, and the current Mistria Guide marriage page links the ring materials to Mines level 90 progress. Neither current source lists an additional Caldarus specific proposal requirement, while his character page does not publish a separate 10 heart trigger entry.
The general proposal process has the player hold the crafted ring, interact with the partner, and select Discuss. A successful proposal opens wedding date selection, with the earliest date five days later. Conversations before the ceremony allow choices for flower colors, cake flavor, and the reception meal.
The wedding takes the whole day, and the townspeople handle watering and animal care while it occurs. The spouse then moves into the farmhouse and follows a new schedule, and the current Mistria Guide marriage page records three spouse specific furniture pieces on the following day. That page also describes children as optional and says the current game has no divorce mechanic.
What still needs confirmation
Caldarus's current page lists Caldarus's House, the Deep Woods, Mistria Town, and the Sleeping Dragon Inn among his most frequent locations. Exact routes can vary with season, weekday, weather, and story state, so those places are a shortlist rather than a universal daily schedule. The page confirms the three story linked early milestones but does not publish separate eight or 10 heart event instructions as of August 11, 2026.
The gift table now follows Caldarus's current verified record instead of the split local extraction. His local portrait is used in the character directory and romance cards. Character specific details absent from the verified record are stated as limits and are not inferred from another route.
