This guide helps you befriend the enigmatic Dwarf in Stardew Valley. This reclusive miner, residing deep within the mines, communicates in Dwarvish, requiring a unique approach to friendship.
Meeting the Dwarf
Locate a large boulder to the right of the mine entrance on the first floor. Destroy it using a copper pickaxe or a bomb to reveal the Dwarf's shop.
Learning Dwarvish
The Dwarf doesn't speak common tongue. To understand him, you must donate all four Dwarf Scrolls to the museum. Gunther will reward you with a Dwarvish translation guide. Return to the mines to begin communication.
