This guide delves into the enigmatic Dwarf of Stardew Valley, offering strategies for befriending this unique character. Unlike other villagers, befriending the Dwarf requires deciphering Dwarvish, a feat accomplished by donating all four Dwarf Scrolls to the museum.
Meeting the Dwarf:
Located in the mines, beyond a breakable boulder on the first floor, the Dwarf awaits. A copper pickaxe or bomb is needed to access his shop.
Learning Dwarvish:
Acquiring the Dwarvish Translation guide from Gunther (after donating all four Dwarf Scrolls) is crucial for communication.
Gift Guide:
Gifting is key to friendship. The Dwarf's birthday (Summer 22nd) provides an 8x friendship point bonus.
Loved Gifts (+80 Friendship Points):
Liked Gifts (+45 Friendship Points):
Disliked & Hated Gifts (Friendship Point Reduction): Avoid mushrooms, foraged items, and universally hated gifts (except Artifacts).
Movie Theater Interactions:
The Dwarf attends movie screenings. He loves all movie choices but prefers Stardrop Sorbet and Rock Candy as concessions. He likes Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, and Star Cookie. Other concessions are disliked. This interaction boosts friendship.
