Valheim's core gameplay revolves around exploring biomes, gathering resources, and defeating bosses. The challenge is heightened in areas like the Swamp and Mountains, where enemies pose significant threats. Merchants offer crucial items to ease this difficulty. Three merchants are currently available, each with a distinct inventory. Their locations vary across procedurally generated worlds, making them difficult to find.

How To Find Haldor (Black Forest Merchant)

Haldor, often the easiest to locate, spawns within a 1500m radius of the world's center. He resides in the Black Forest, accessible relatively early in the game. He's frequently found near The Elder's spawn point, identifiable by glowing ruins in Burial Chambers. For a more efficient search, utilize the Valheim World Generator (created by wd40bomber7) to pinpoint his exact location based on your world seed. Once found, build a portal for easy access. Gold is required for trading; acquire this by exploring dungeons and selling gems (Rubies, Amber Pearls, Silver Necklaces, etc.).

How To Find Hildir (Meadows Merchant)

Hildir, located in the Meadows, is harder to find than Haldor due to her distant spawn from the world center (3000-5100m radius). The Valheim World Generator is recommended. Alternatively, search Meadows within the specified radius, with spawn points roughly 1000m apart. A T-shirt icon appears on the map when within 300-400m. Build a portal after locating her. Hildir offers clothing with stamina reduction buffs and quests to retrieve lost items, leading to new dungeons and rewards:

• Smouldering Tombs (Black Forest)
• Howling Caverns (Mountains)
• Sealed Towers (Plains)

Each dungeon yields a chest; return these to Hildir for access to additional items.

How To Find The Bog Witch (Swamp Merchant)

The Bog Witch, found in the Swamp (a challenging biome), spawns between 3000m and 8000m from the world center, with spawn points 1000m apart. The World Generator is highly recommended. Look for a Cauldron icon on approach. Once located, build a portal. The Bog Witch is a friendly Greydwarf with a magical Kvastur, offering comfort level 3 within her hut and unique items for cooking and mead crafting.
