This guide delves into the enigmatic Dwarf, a unique character in Stardew Valley. Unlike other villagers, befriending the Dwarf requires deciphering a new language and yields different rewards.
Locating the Dwarf:
Find the Dwarf in the mines, beyond a breakable boulder to the right of the entrance on the first floor. A copper pickaxe or bomb is needed to access his shop.
Learning Dwarvish:
Initially, communication is impossible. To understand the Dwarf, collect all four Dwarf Scrolls (artifacts) and donate them to the museum. Gunther will then provide a Dwarvish translation guide.
Gift Giving:
Friendship is cultivated through gifts (up to two per week). His birthday (Summer 22nd) doubles the friendship points gained from gifts.
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):

Disliked/Hated Gifts (Negative Friendship Points):
Avoid mushrooms, foraged items, and universally hated gifts (except Artifacts).
Movie Theater Interactions:
Once unlocked, the Movie Theater offers another way to bond with the Dwarf. He loves all movie choices 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 this unique and mysterious villager. Remember that while the rewards differ from other friendships, the journey adds a captivating element to your Stardew Valley experience.
