This guide delves into the enigmatic Dwarf of Stardew Valley, offering insights into befriending this unique character. Unlike other villagers, befriending the Dwarf requires deciphering Dwarvish, a feat accomplished by donating all four Dwarf Scrolls to the museum.
Meeting the Dwarf:
Locate the Dwarf's shop within the mines, accessible by breaking a boulder near the first floor entrance using a copper pickaxe or bomb.
Learning Dwarvish:
Collect all four Dwarf Scrolls (artifacts) and donate them to the museum. Gunther will reward you with a Dwarvish translation guide, unlocking communication with the Dwarf.
Gift Guide:
Gifting is crucial for building friendship. Remember, the Dwarf's birthday is Summer 22nd; gifts given then yield eight times the friendship points.

Other concessions are disliked. This provides additional opportunities to boost friendship.
