Complete Fields of Mistria Caldarus Romance Guide: How To Unlock, Events, Best Gifts

The Shooting Star Festival is an end-of-summer event in Fields of Mistria that allows you to take any romanceable NPC of four hearts or higher on a date to the Summit to watch the stars. Because Caldarus’ romance questline is unlocked with a fixed heart level of six hearts, you’re automatically able to go with him. To attend the festival with Caldarus, gift him the Star Brooch before 8 PM on Summer 28 and meet up after that time to confirm you’re ready to start the event. This will trigger a cutscene of your date. Spoilers ahead!

At the Summit, Caldarus first thanks you for inviting him to the festival, then comments on the stars and the history of the Mistrian tradition, which was once known as Starbinding. You’re given several dialogue options during your talk, discussing what binds souls and how connections are formed. The conversation gets pretty existential when Caldarus explains that not all connections are joyful and every story needs a villain. (Foreshadowing much?)

He wonders if you’ve attended the event together in a past life, which is quickly followed by a bout of fatigue. On that note, he invites you to spend the rest of the evening watching the stars from his temple.
