This guide delves into the enigmatic Dwarf of Stardew Valley, offering insights on befriending this unique character. Unlike other villagers, building a friendship with the Dwarf requires deciphering a new language and understanding his unique gift preferences.
Meeting the Dwarf
Located in the mines, beyond a breakable boulder on the first floor (use a copper pickaxe or bomb), you'll find the Dwarf's shop.
