Stardew Valley: How To Befriend The Dwarf

This guide explores the enigmatic Dwarf in Stardew Valley, focusing on befriending this unique character. Unlike other villagers, befriending the Dwarf requires learning Dwarvish, obtained after donating all four Dwarf Scrolls to the museum.

Finding the Dwarf: Locate the large boulder to the right of the mine entrance on the first floor. Destroy it (using a copper pickaxe or bomb) to reveal the Dwarf's shop.

Learning Dwarvish: Gather all four Dwarf Scrolls (artifacts). Donate them to the museum to receive the Dwarvish Translation guide. Return to the Dwarf to initiate communication.

Gift Guide: The Dwarf accepts two gifts weekly. His birthday (Summer 22nd) doubles friendship point gains.

Loved Gifts (+80 Friendship Points):

• Gemstones: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Jade, Ruby, Topaz, Emerald
• Lemon Stone
• Omni Geode
• Lava Eel
• All universally loved gifts

Liked Gifts (+45 Friendship Points):

• All universally liked gifts
• All artifacts
• Cave Carrot
• Quartz

Disliked/Hated Gifts (Friendship Point Reduction):

Avoid giving mushrooms, foraged items, and universally hated gifts (except artifacts).

Movie Theater: After unlocking the Movie Theater, give the Dwarf a ticket. He loves all movies but has preferences for concessions:

• Loved: Stardrop Sorbet, Rock Candy
• Liked: Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, Star Cookie

By following these steps, you can successfully befriend the mysterious Dwarf and unlock the secrets of his underground shop. Remember that building friendship with him takes time and thoughtful gift-giving.
