Befriend Dwarves in Stardew Valley: A Guide

This guide explores the enigmatic Dwarf in Stardew Valley, focusing on befriending him. Unlike other villagers, befriending the Dwarf requires learning Dwarvish.

Meeting the Dwarf:

Located in the mines, the Dwarf's shop is hidden behind a boulder on the first floor (easily destroyed with a copper pickaxe or bomb).

Learning Dwarvish:

To understand the Dwarf, collect all four Dwarf Scrolls (artifacts) and donate them to the museum. Gunther will reward you with a Dwarvish translation guide.

Gift Guide:

Gift giving is key to friendship. The Dwarf accepts two gifts per week. His birthday (Summer 22nd) doubles friendship point gains.

• Loved Gifts (+80 friendship): Amethyst , Aquamarine , Jade , Ruby , Topaz , Emerald , Lemon Stone , Omni Geode , Lava Eel , and all universally loved gifts.

• Liked Gifts (+45 friendship): All universally liked gifts, all artifacts, Cave Carrot , Quartz .

• Disliked/Hated Gifts (negative friendship): Avoid mushrooms, foraged items, and universally hated gifts (except artifacts).

Movie Theater Interactions:

After unlocking the Movie Theater, invite the Dwarf. He loves all movies but has preferences for snacks: Loves Stardrop Sorbet and Rock Candy; Likes Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, and Star Cookie. Other snacks are disliked.

This updated guide reflects recent game updates, ensuring a successful Dwarf befriending experience.
