Stardew Valley: How To Befriend The Dwarf

This guide delves into befriending the enigmatic Dwarf in Stardew Valley. While not as rewarding as other villager friendships, it adds a unique, fantastical element to your gameplay. Recent updates (1.5 and 1.6) have altered friendship mechanics, impacting gift preferences and social interactions.

Locating the Dwarf

The Dwarf resides in the mines, accessible by breaking a boulder (using a copper pickaxe or bomb) to the right of the first floor entrance.

Unlocking Communication

Initially, the Dwarf is incomprehensible. To understand him, you must donate all four Dwarf Scrolls to the museum. Gunther will then reward you with a Dwarvish translation guide.

Gift Giving

Friendship with the Dwarf hinges on gifting. Remember, he accepts two gifts weekly, with birthday gifts (Summer 22nd) granting eight times the usual friendship points.

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 (except Artifacts).

Movie Theater Interactions

The Dwarf attends movie screenings. He loves all movie choices but has specific snack preferences: He loves Stardrop Sorbet and Rock Candy, and likes Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, and Star Cookie. Other snacks negatively impact friendship.

This updated guide ensures you can successfully befriend this unique Stardew Valley character. Remember to utilize the updated gift preferences for optimal results.
