This guide helps you befriend the enigmatic Dwarf in Stardew Valley. Unlike other villagers, befriending the Dwarf requires learning Dwarvish and giving specific gifts.
The Dwarf, residing in a secluded mine shop, is accessible after breaking a boulder with a copper pickaxe or bomb.
Learning Dwarvish:
To communicate, collect all four Dwarf Scrolls and donate them to the museum. Gunther will reward you with a Dwarvish translation guide.

Gift giving is key. The Dwarf accepts two gifts weekly. His birthday (Summer 22nd) doubles gift value.

Disliked/Hated Gifts (Friendship Decrease): Avoid mushrooms, foraged items, and universally hated gifts (except Artifacts).
Movie Theater:
The Dwarf attends movie screenings. He loves all films but prefers Stardrop Sorbet and Rock Candy. He likes Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jawbreaker, Salmon Burger, Sour Slimes, and Star Cookie.
