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.
