Stardew Valley: Secrets to Unlock Dwarf Camaraderie

This guide explores the enigmatic Dwarf in Stardew Valley, detailing how to befriend this unique character. Unlike other villagers, befriending the Dwarf requires learning Dwarvish.

Meeting the Dwarf

The Dwarf resides in a hidden shop within the mines. To access it, break the large boulder to the right of the mine entrance on the first floor (using a copper pickaxe or a bomb).

Learning Dwarvish

The Dwarf doesn't speak common tongue. To communicate, you must donate all four Dwarf Scrolls to the museum. Gunther will then reward you with a Dwarvish translation guide.
