Stardew Valley: How To Befriend The Dwarf

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

The Dwarf resides in a secluded shop within the mines. To access his shop, break the large boulder to the right of the mine entrance (using a copper pickaxe or bomb).

Learning Dwarvish

Initially, communication is impossible. To understand the Dwarf, 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's shop to begin conversing.

Friendship is cultivated through gifts (up to two per week). Gifts given on his birthday (Summer 22nd) yield eight times the usual friendship points.
