This guide delves into the enigmatic Dwarf of Stardew Valley, offering insights into befriending this unique character. Unlike other villagers, building a relationship with the Dwarf requires deciphering a new language and understanding his unique gift preferences.
Meeting the Dwarf:
Locate the Dwarf in the mines, behind a boulder on the first floor (easily broken with a copper pickaxe or bomb).
Learning Dwarvish:
To communicate effectively, collect all four Dwarf Scrolls and donate them to the museum. Gunther will reward you with a Dwarvish translation guide.
Gift Giving:
The Dwarf accepts two gifts weekly. His birthday (Summer 22nd) doubles the friendship points gained from gifts.
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 Point Reduction):
Avoid giving the Dwarf mushrooms, other foraged items, and universally hated gifts (excluding artifacts).
Movie Theater Interactions:
Once unlocked, the Movie Theater offers another opportunity to bond with the Dwarf. He loves all movie selections but has specific preferences for concessions:
- Loves: Stardrop Sorbet, Rock Candy
- Likes: Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, Star Cookie
By following these steps and understanding the Dwarf's preferences, you can successfully befriend this mysterious miner and unlock the rewards of this unique friendship. Remember that updates to Stardew Valley may slightly alter some aspects of this process, so always consult the latest game version information.
