Dwarf Befriending Guide for Stardew Valley

This guide delves into the enigmatic Dwarf of Stardew Valley, providing updated strategies for befriending this unique character. Unlike other villagers, building rapport with the Dwarf requires deciphering Dwarvish, a feat achieved by donating all four Dwarf Scrolls to the museum.

Accessing the Dwarf involves breaking the boulder blocking his shop entrance on the first mine level (using a copper pickaxe or bomb).

After obtaining the Dwarvish Translation guide, communication is established, allowing for gift-giving and trade.

Friendship hinges on thoughtful gifts. The Dwarf's preferences are detailed below:

Loved Gifts (+80 Friendship Points):

• Gemstones: Amethyst (), Aquamarine (), Jade (), Ruby (), Topaz (), Emerald ()
• Lemon Stone ()
• Omni Geode ()
• Lava Eel ()
• All universally loved gifts

Liked Gifts (+45 Friendship Points):

• All universally liked gifts
• All Artifacts
• Cave Carrot ()
• Quartz ()

Disliked & Hated Gifts (Friendship Decrease): Avoid mushrooms, foraged items, and universally hated gifts (excluding Artifacts).

Post-1.5 update, the Dwarf attends the Movie Theater. He loves all movie selections but prefers Stardrop Sorbet and Rock Candy. He likes Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, and Star Cookie. Other concessions are disliked. Remember his birthday is Summer 22nd – gifts given then yield eight times the usual friendship points.
