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:
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:
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:
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.
