How to get past the Fire Seal in Fields of Mistria

With the second major update to Fields of Mistria, lots o🦩f new features and items have been added to the hit cozy game from NPC Studios. One of the most exciting additions is the 20 new floors to the Mines, fꦍilled with new monsters, forageables, and resources. 

However, before you can access these new floors, you’ll need to break through the Fire Seal. If you’ve got to this point, you will have already broken through the Earth Seal and the Water Seal, so you’ll know a bit about what to expect, but things hav🍸e gone up a notch and become quite complicated♓ for this newly added Seal. 

It makes sense because breaking through the Fire Seal is what unlocks a whole bunch of new content and features, including the Deep Woods and Sprite Statues. Spoilers ahead.

How to break the Fire Seal in Fields of Mistria

As you progress through the Mines, you’ll encounter a new Seal every 20 floors. The Fire Seal is down o🐼n floor 60, and as with previous Seals, you’ll need to offer up some items found on the previous 20 floors before you can get through it. Unlike previous seals, which required four items, this one only needs three. For the fourth, you’ll need to work with Balor. 

✤The easy part of this is getting the items from Deep Earth:

• Faceted Rock Gem
  • Found by digging up dig spots
  • If you have the level 2 Archaeology perk “Stoneturner”, Artifacts can sometimes drop when breaking rocks within the Mines
• Emerald
  • Dropped when breaking Emerald Nodes within Deep Earth in the Mines
• Rockroot
  • Foraged from the floors within Deep Earth in the Mines

How to get a Sealing Scroll

The fourth and final item you’ll need to get through the Fire Seal is slightly more complicated to procure. According to Juniper, it’s a ไdangerous item and hard to come by. Of course, we all know somebody who is skilled at getting items of that nature. It’s time to put Balor to good use. 

After you take the rubbing to Juniperꦏ, she will automatically take you to Balor at the Inn. He’ll tell you that it won’t come cheap, and you’ll need to give him a few days to source the Sealཧing Scroll. 

After two in-game days, you’ll get mail from Balor telling you to meet him at th♔e Inn. This time, he’ll tell you the cost, and he wants more than Tesserae. To get the Sealing Scroll, you’ll need to place the following items in the Donation Box placed beside Balor’s Wagon:

• 10 Emeralds
  • Mining in Deep Earth
• 10 Sapphires
  • Mining in Tide Caverns
• 10 Rubies
  • Mining in the Upper Mines
• 10 Silver Ingots
  • Made using Silver Ore (Deep Earth)
  • 100 Silver Ore in total, or 90 if you have the tier 3 Blacksmithing skill perk “Silver Expert”

Oඣnce you’ve done that, you can talk to Balor again to complete the quest and he will deliver the Sealing Scroll to you the following day. You can then take the necessary items to the Fire Seal and placeᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ them on their designated pedestals. 

However, this is not a straightforward task. Once you’ve placed the items onto their respective pedestals, the Sealing Scroll will float and the Priestess will warn you to flee. You won’t get far before the Sealing Scroll trap𓄧s you within a circle and saps you of health and stamina. 

You will have the op🐷tion to call out for help, and Caldarus will come to your rescue, giving you a new spell — Dragon’s 🎃Breath. Sadly, you’re too far gone to use the spell yourself, but Caldarus will shift into his human-ish form to save the day.
