— Dwarf

The Dwarf is a valley resident who lives in The Mines. Initially the way is blocked off by an unbreakable rock, just inside the entrance. After upgrading to a steel pickaxe the stone can be broken. A cherry bomb also works.

The Dwarf will start out speaking Dwarvish, which is unreadable by the player. In order to understand Dwarf you must acquire the 4 Dwarvish scrolls from within the mines. After donating them to the museum, Gunther will give you a Dwarvish Translation Guide to use which allows you to understand the Dwarf's speech. You cannot make purchases from the Dwarf's shop or affect friendship with the Dwarf until you understand Dwarvish.

The Dwarf's gender in the game data is "undefined" (see Content\Data\NPCDispositions.xnb).

Schedule

The Dwarf lives just to the east of the entrance to the mines and does not move from there.

Relationships

The Dwarf is apparently one of a race of Dwarves. They were once powerful and advanced but now only relics remain as artifacts. Krobus describes a 1000-year war between the dwarves and the shadow people, as such Dwarf is sometimes suspicious of the player of being a spy sent by the shadow people.

Gifts

Main article: Friendship
See also: List of All Gifts

You can give the Dwarf up to two gifts per week (plus one on their birthday), which will raise or lower their friendship with you. Note that if you do not understand Dwarvish, friendship will be unaffected by gifts. Gifts on their birthday (Summer 22) will have 8× effect and show a unique dialogue.
For loved or liked gifts, the Dwarf will say

“A birthday gift? That's very kind of you! I love it.”
“A punhaan nuh? Xha's zinan mu oh anoe! U ozi u.h”
“You remembered my birthday! Thank you. This is great.”

For neutral gifts, the Dwarf will say

“Oh, a birthday gift! Thank you.”
“Oh, a punhaan nuh! Xham anoe.”

Heart Events

50 Friendship Points

Zero Hearts.png

After earning 50 Friendship points with the Dwarf, enter The Sewers. You need to have purchased a Stardrop from Krobus.

Details 
Dwarf finds Krobus in the Sewers and blames the Shadow People for the death of their family. Krobus retorts by saying that he only resorted to violence after the dwarves drove them from their ancestral homeland. Krobus gives an apology for what happened to Dwarf's family but Dwarf doesn't accept it. They both start fighting. The player descends into the Sewers and gets between them. Dwarf yells, "Let me at him! He's despicable." Krobus retorts, "Come and get it, shrimpy." Suddenly, the Wizard appears and stops the fight. He reminds them that "The Elemental Wars have long been finished" and tells them to make peace for the sake of the humans that live around them. Dwarf consents to this and promises to stay away from the sewers. Krobus once again apologizes for the past and states that he has no personal gripe with Dwarf. The Wizard casts a 'Seal of Promise' to finalize the agreement.

Quotes

First Meeting

“Hey, you're pretty good at mining, for a human.”

Regular

“I got all this stuff from the surface. I just take it from your people during the night. Hmm? What is this concept you call "private property"?”
“Ah... cave carrot stew, cave carrot roast, cave carrot soup and cave carrots au gratin.

...And a ramekin of cave carrot brulee to sweeten the night. What?”

“Hey, wanna buy something?”
“I feel most comfortable underground. The deeper underground the better.”
“You've never seen a dwarf before, have you?”
“It's dangerous in the mines. Why don't you buy a few things from my shop to ensure your safety?”
“One day you'll have to tell me about this beverage you call "milk"”
“You're not a spy sent by the Shadow People, are you? I'm keeping my eye on you.”
“Most humans fear the unknown... that's why I've hidden my shop here. Your mining skills prove you're trustworthy.”

Rainy Days

“Rain... It's almost mythical to us. Some of us dwarves live our entire lives without ever experiencing it.”

6+ Hearts

“Long ago, my people knew the secrets of advanced technology. The archaeological evidence proves that.

But I wonder where it came from? And where did it all go? I guess some questions will never be answered...”

8+ Hearts

“The mines can be a treacherous place. Be careful, friend.”

Trivia

  • Despite having dialogue suggesting an interest in milk, the Dwarf dislikes all milks.
