Stardew Valley: How To Befriend The Dwarf

This guide delves into the enigmatic Dwarf of Stardew Valley, offering strategies for befriending this unique character. Unlike other villagers, communication requires acquiring and donating all four Dwarf Scrolls to the museum, unlocking Dwarvish translation.

Locating the Dwarf: Find the large boulder near the Mines' entrance (first floor, right side). Destroy it using a copper pickaxe or a bomb to reveal the Dwarf's shop.

Communication: Initially, the Dwarf is incomprehensible. Acquiring the Dwarvish Translation guide from Gunther (after donating all four Dwarf Scrolls) is crucial for communication and friendship building.

Gifting: Gift-giving is key to friendship. The Dwarf accepts two gifts weekly. His birthday (Summer 22nd) doubles friendship point gains.

• Gemstones: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Jade, Ruby, Topaz, Emerald
• Lemon Stone
• Omni Geode

Disliked/Hated Gifts (Friendship Point Decrease): Avoid mushrooms, foraged items, and universally hated gifts (except Artifacts).

Movie Theater Interactions: The Dwarf attends movie screenings. While he loves all films, his concession preferences matter:

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