Secrets in Fields Of Mistria
Predict The Weather
During Juniper’s quest Stinky Stamina Potion, she will gift the player a Crystal Ball. If you’re not paying attention, the gift can end up shoved in a corner of your house or–worse–consigned to life in a Chest.
However, the Crystal Ball is one of the most helpful items in the game if you’re focused on the health of your farm, as it reliably shows the weather for the next day, meaning you can plan your activities ahead and maximize your useful time. If you interact with the Crystal Ball it’ll tell you the weather outright, but if it’s prominently displayed, you can also just keep an eye on the icon that shows faintly inside it.
Secret Caves
Later on in the game when you unlock the Dragon’s Breath skill, you’ll use it for a number of quest-specific purposes, and may even have started using it as a combat strategy in the Mines. But Mistria’s map has two secret caves you can only access when this spell is unlocked.
Next to Errol’s Cabin is a collapsed cave entrance, which can be blasted with Dragon’s Breath to reveal a gold chest and an Animal Sprite Statue. The Animal Sprite Statue can be used to automatically pet your animals every day when charged with Essence–you’ll also get a recipe for it.
The other cave is found just past the Beach, and can be found by jumping in the water to the right of the Lighthouse and swimming up and to the right. Once you’ve blasted open this cave, you’ll find another chest, this time containing a Water Sprite statue (and recipe), which allows you to automate the watering of plants.
