The first major update to Fields of Mistria added a second festival, and it’s a remarkably cute one. It’s got some really adorable lore, and is an opportunity to get to know your in-game crush just a little bit more.
The Shooting Star Festival takes place on Summer 28 each year, and lore-wise, it’s a chance for people to get together with friends, family, and loved ones to watch the meteor shower that takes place at that time. It’s also said that if you choose to watch the Shooting Star Festival with someone on The Summit, it will intrinsically tie your destinies together.
How to invite someone to the Shooting Star Festival in Fields of Mistria
On the morning of Summer 28, Elsie will come to visit you at the Farm to tell you about the Shooting Star Festival, and you’ll have to decide whether you want to take someone with you to The Summit for a moon and meteor lit date (“Yes! Please tell me more!”), or if you want to experience the moment alone.
Who you can (or should) take to The Summit to enjoy Shooting Star Festival will depend on a couple of things:
- Which romanceable villager(s) you currently have four or more stars with
- Which of them you want to move forward to the next stage of your relationship with
If you tell Elsie that you want to take someone, she will provide you with a Star Brooch. This item can be given to a villager with four or more hearts of friendship to invite them up to The Summit. After they have accepted, you’ll then need to wait until 8 p.m. to go and meet them. Meeting with your chosen date will end the day, so make sure you’ve done everything that you wanted to do in the meantime.
If you’re impatient and want to speed up the waiting process, you can take the opportunity to do some milling. Each milled item will take up a chunk of time, and I very quickly passed the entire day churning Butter.
After entering The Summit after 8 p.m., you’ll enter into a cutscene with your chosen companion, during which you’ll learn more about them and have the opportunity to grow closer.
Who should you invite to the Shooting Star Festival in Fields of Mistria?
This decision is entirely personal and will depend on who you’ve developed more of a bond with. I chose to go with March, mainly because I’ve not put too much effort into building relationships and he was my only available option, but I likely would have invited him anyway even if I did have a choice!
Regardless of who you take with you to watch the meteor shower, you’ll have an opportunity to get to know more about their past, as well as more about who they are now. It’s unclear as of yet whether taking someone to the Shooting Star Festival is the kick-off point to a romantic relationship, with this information likely becoming more clear when more heart events are added during future updates.
To be safe, think carefully about who you want to grow closer with before you hand out the Star Brooch.
