Stardew Valley: How To Befriend The Dwarf

This guide delves into befriending the enigmatic Dwarf in Stardew Valley. Unlike other villagers, befriending the Dwarf requires deciphering Dwarvish.

Meeting the Dwarf:

Locate the boulder blocking the Dwarf's shop on the first floor of the mines (to the right of the entrance). Destroy it using a copper pickaxe or bomb.

Learning Dwarvish:

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:

Gift giving is crucial. The Dwarf accepts up to two gifts weekly. His birthday (Summer 22nd) multiplies friendship gains by eight.

• 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 (Friendship Decrease): Avoid mushrooms, foraged items, and universally hated gifts (except artifacts).

Movie Theater Visits:

The Dwarf attends movie screenings. He loves all movies but has 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.

Remember, building friendship with the Dwarf is a unique and rewarding experience, adding a layer of depth to your Stardew Valley journey.
