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:

Located in the mines, the Dwarf's shop is hidden behind a boulder on the first floor. Destroy the boulder (using a copper pickaxe or bomb) to reveal his entrance.

Learning Dwarvish:

To communicate, collect all four Dwarf Scrolls (artifacts). Donate them to the museum to receive a Dwarvish translation guide. Return to the Dwarf to begin understanding him and purchasing from his shop.

Gifting is crucial. The Dwarf accepts two gifts weekly. His birthday (Summer 22nd) multiplies friendship points gained by eight.
