Stardew Valley: How To Befriend The Dwarf

This guide explores befriending the enigmatic Dwarf in Stardew Valley. Unlike other villagers, befriending the Dwarf requires learning Dwarvish. This guide covers meeting the Dwarf, learning Dwarvish, gift preferences, and Movie Theater interactions.

Meeting the Dwarf:

Located in the mines, to the right of the first floor entrance, the Dwarf's shop is hidden behind a large boulder. Destroy the boulder (using a copper pickaxe or bomb) to reveal his shop.

Learning Dwarvish:

To understand the Dwarf, collect all four Dwarf Scrolls (artifacts). Donate them to the Museum; Gunther will reward you with a Dwarvish translation guide. Now you can communicate!

Gift Guide:

Gifting is key to befriending the Dwarf. You can give up to two gifts per week. His birthday (Summer 22nd) multiplies friendship points by eight.

• Gemstones: Amethyst , Aquamarine , Jade , Ruby , Topaz , Emerald

Movie Theater Interactions:

The Dwarf attends movie screenings. He loves all movies but has specific snack preferences. He loves Stardrop Sorbet and Rock Candy; he likes Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, and Star Cookie. Other snacks are disliked.
