Stardew Valley: How To Befriend The Dwarf

By ChloeJan 24,2025

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

Meeting the Dwarf:

Dwarf's Shop Entrance Locate the boulder blocking the Dwarf's shop on the first floor of the mines (to the right of the entrance). Destroy it using a copper pickaxe or bomb.

Learning Dwarvish:

Dwarf Scroll To communicate, collect all four Dwarf Scrolls (artifacts). Donate them to the Museum; Gunther will reward you with a Dwarvish translation guide. Return to the Dwarf to begin understanding him and accessing his shop.

Gift Guide:

Dwarf's Gift Preferences Gift giving is crucial. Remember, his birthday is Summer 22 (gifts given then grant 8x friendship points). You can give up to two gifts weekly.

  • 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 , and Quartz .

  • Disliked/Hated Gifts (negative friendship): Avoid all mushrooms, foraged items, and universally hated gifts (except artifacts).

Movie Theater Interactions:

Movie Theater Once unlocked, invite the Dwarf to the Movie Theater. He loves all movie choices. For concessions, he loves Stardrop Sorbet and Rock Candy; he likes Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, and Star Cookie. Other options are disliked.

This updated guide reflects recent Stardew Valley updates, including the Movie Theater's impact on friendships. Remember, patience and the right gifts are key to befriending this unique character.
