Authore: VictoriaUpdate:Feb 02,2025

This guide helps you befriend the mysterious Dwarf in Stardew Valley. He's a unique character, requiring you to learn Dwarvish to build a relationship.

Meeting the Dwarf

Locate a large boulder to the right of the mine entrance on the first floor. Break it with a copper pickaxe or bomb. The Dwarf's shop is just beyond.

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.
