This guide helps you befriend the enigmatic Dwarf in Stardew Valley. He's a unique character, requiring you to learn Dwarvish to build a relationship.
Meeting the Dwarf:
Located in the mines, to the right of the entrance on the first floor, a boulder hides his shop. Break it with a copper pickaxe or bomb to access him.
Learning Dwarvish:
Donate all four Dwarf Scrolls to the museum to receive the Dwarvish Translation guide. This unlocks communication with the Dwarf.
