Stardew Valley: How To Befriend The Dwarf

This guide helps you befriend the enigmatic Dwarf in Stardew Valley. Unlike other villagers, befriending the Dwarf requires learning Dwarvish. This guide covers meeting him, learning his language, gift-giving strategies, and his Movie Theater preferences.

Meeting the Dwarf:

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

Learning Dwarvish:

To understand the Dwarf, you must donate all four Dwarf Scrolls to the Museum. Gunther will then reward you with a Dwarvish translation guide.

Gift Guide:

Gift-giving is crucial. The Dwarf accepts up to two gifts per week. His birthday (Summer 22nd) doubles gift effectiveness.

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

Movie Theater:

The Dwarf attends movie screenings. He loves all movie choices but prefers Stardrop Sorbet and Rock Candy. He likes Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, and Star Cookie. Avoid other snacks.
