This guide details how to locate and utilize the three merchants in Valheim: Haldor (Black Forest), Hildir (Meadows), and the Bog Witch (Swamp). Their locations are procedurally generated, making them challenging to find without assistance.

Finding and Utilizing Valheim's Merchants

Valheim's merchants offer valuable items to aid your survival. Locating them can be difficult due to the game's procedural generation. This guide provides strategies for finding each merchant and lists their inventories.

How to Find Haldor (Black Forest Merchant)

Haldor, often the easiest to find, spawns within a 1500m radius of the world center in the Black Forest. He's frequently near The Elder's spawn point (indicated by glowing ruins in Burial Chambers). For a quicker search, use the Valheim World Generator (created by wd40bomber7) to pinpoint his location based on your world seed. Once found, build a portal for easy access. Trade with him using gold obtained from exploring dungeons and selling gems.

How to Find Hildir (Meadows Merchant)

Hildir resides in the Meadows, typically further from the world center (3000-5100m radius). The Valheim World Generator is recommended. Alternatively, search Meadows within the specified radius; spawn points are roughly 1000m apart. A T-shirt icon appears on the map when you're close. Build a portal after locating her. Hildir offers clothing with stamina reduction buffs and quests for lost items, leading to new dungeons and expanded inventory.

How to Find the Bog Witch (Swamp Merchant)

The Bog Witch, located in the Swamp (a challenging biome), spawns between 3000m and 8000m from the world center. Her location is best found using the Valheim World Generator. Look for a Cauldron icon on the map when nearby. Build a portal after finding her. She offers unique items for cooking and mead crafting.
