How to Forge a Bond: Befriending the Dwarves of Stardew

This guide delves into befriending the enigmatic Dwarf in Stardew Valley. Unlike other villagers, befriending the Dwarf requires deciphering Dwarvish, a feat accomplished by donating all four Dwarf Scrolls to the museum.

Locating the Dwarf: Find the large boulder near the Mines' entrance (easily broken with a copper pickaxe or bomb). The Dwarf's shop lies just beyond.

Learning Dwarvish: Donate all four Dwarf Scrolls to the museum to receive a Dwarvish translation guide.

Gift Giving: The Dwarf accepts two gifts weekly. His birthday (Summer 22nd) doubles gift point value.

• Gemstones: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Jade, Ruby, Topaz, Emerald
• Lemon Stone

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

Movie Theater: The Dwarf attends movie screenings. He loves all films but prefers Stardrop Sorbet and Rock Candy. He likes Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, and Star Cookie. Avoid other snacks.

This updated guide reflects recent Stardew Valley updates, ensuring your Dwarf befriending journey is a success. Remember, patience and the right gifts are key!
