Befriend the Dwarves in Stardew Valley

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

Meeting the Dwarf

Locate a large boulder to the right of the mine entrance on the first floor. Destroy it using a copper pickaxe or a bomb to reveal the Dwarf's shop.

Learning Dwarvish

The Dwarf doesn't speak common tongue. To communicate, collect all four Dwarf Scrolls (artifacts) and donate them to the museum. Gunther will reward you with a Dwarvish translation guide. Return to the Dwarf; you can now understand and interact with him, including purchasing items.

Gift Guide

Gift-giving is crucial for building friendship. The Dwarf accepts two gifts weekly. Gifts given on his birthday (Summer 22nd) grant eight times the usual friendship points.

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):

• All universally liked gifts
• All artifacts
• Cave Carrot
• Quartz

Disliked/Hated Gifts (Friendship Decrease):

Avoid giving mushrooms, foraged items, and universally hated gifts (except artifacts).

Movie Theater Interactions

Once unlocked, the Movie Theater offers another way to interact. The Dwarf loves all movie selections. For concessions, he loves Stardrop Sorbet and Rock Candy, and likes Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, and Star Cookie. Other snacks are disliked.
