In Fields of Mistria, you’ll have your hands full managing a farm and trying to help restore the town. Making Mistria a thriving hub of commerce will take a lot of time, but there are other secrets in the area that require your attention–specifically deep into the mines.
As you progress through the mines, you’ll come to different seals that need to be broken. Each requires a set number of items from the caverns before to break the seal and continue delving deeper. We’ll help you find and break the fire seal so you can finally strike gold in the mines.
Where To Find The Fire Seal
Upon reaching floor 60 in the mines, you’ll find another seal that must be broken. Take the rubbing of the tablet to Juniper, who will translate it for you. As usual, there are four items you need to find to make the proper offering.
Three of these items are easy to find, while the other requires special help. Juniper will go with you to speak with Balor about securing the fourth object: a sealing scroll.
The quest to break the seal diverges into two quests from here: one for the scroll and one for the other materials.
How To Break The Fire Seal
The fire seal requires the following objects, according to Juniper’s translation–all of which can be found within the mines (minus the sealing scroll):
- Faceted Rock Gem
- Rockroot
- Sealing Scroll
- Emerald
Below are the details for each so you can find and secure them for the offering. Some are easier than others, but with a bit of patience, you’ll find them all in no time.
How To Get The Sealing Scroll
The sealing scroll will take time, but it is a bit easier to secure than the others. Balor will send you mail when he finds a buyer, so head to his room at the inn to discuss the price.
Due to the rarity of the item, the buyer wants untraceable ingots and gems to cover the cost. You’ll need to find and deposit the ten of each material to the box beside Balor’s cart: Silver Ingots, Rubies, Emeralds, and Sapphires.
Rubies can be found in the first mining region, sapphires in the second, and emeralds in the third. Silver can be found on floors 41-59, and you’ll need at least nine pieces to make an ingot.
After the materials are placed in the box, speak with Balor to complete the quest. He’ll bring the Sealing Scroll by the next morning. He warns you not to open it under any circumstances, as it has magical properties that are unknown.
While you can’t open the scroll yourself, this is important for later.
Where To Find The Faceted Rock Gem
The faceted rock gem is hard to find if only because it’s an artifact, so there’s no guaranteed way to procure it. However, it can be found along floors 41-59 in the mines.
It took us about four days of in-game digging to find the Faceted Rock Gem.
Keep an eye out for digging spots on the ground, then use your pickaxe to unearth the hidden treasures. If you’re lucky, you’ll get one of these gems to hold onto.
Despite the name saying it’s a gem, this material is literally a rock. And an artifact.
You can donate it to the museum if you find extras, but make sure to save one for breaking the fire seal.
Where To Find An Emerald
Emeralds can be found along the same floors as the faceted rock gem, though they are easier to find. Search for bright green rock nodes or giant emeralds in the mines.
Break them up to obtain the gemstone, then use it to make an offering at the seal. You’ll need plenty of these anyway to obtain the sealing scroll, so comb through the mines thoroughly.
Where To Find Rockroot
The last material you need to break the fire seal is rockroot, which can be found by foraging through the middle of the mines. Floors 41-59 can hold this mysterious-looking plant, so make sure to scour each floor for one before moving further down.
With the seal finally broken, a cutscene will play and you can then progress into the deeper reaches of the mine. Beware the lava pits!
