This guide details how to befriend the enigmatic Dwarf in Stardew Valley. Unlike other villagers, befriending the Dwarf requires learning Dwarvish.

Meeting the Dwarf:

Located in the mines, to the right of the entrance on the first floor, a boulder blocks the Dwarf's shop. Destroy it with a copper pickaxe or bomb to access his dwelling.

Learning Dwarvish:

To communicate, collect all four Dwarf Scrolls (artifacts). Donate them to the Museum; Gunther will reward you with a Dwarvish translation guide.

Gift Guide:

Gifts significantly impact friendship. The Dwarf's birthday is Summer 22 (gifts given then grant 8x friendship points). Two gifts per week are accepted.

• 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 , Quartz .

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

Movie Theater Interactions:

Once unlocked, invite the Dwarf to the Movie Theater. He loves all movies but has preferences for snacks: Loves Stardrop Sorbet and Rock Candy; Likes Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, and Star Cookie. Other snacks are disliked.

This updated guide reflects recent Stardew Valley updates, including the Movie Theater's introduction and gift preference adjustments.
