Valheim: Merchantry Unveiled

Valheim's Wandering Merchants: Locations and Inventory Guide

Valheim's challenge lies in exploring diverse biomes and gathering resources to defeat formidable bosses. The journey is eased by the presence of three helpful merchants, each offering unique items. However, their locations are randomized, making them difficult to find. This guide reveals the whereabouts and inventory of each merchant.

Finding Haldor (Black Forest Merchant)

Haldor, often the easiest to locate, spawns within a 1500m radius of the world's center, typically in the Black Forest. He's frequently found near The Elder's spawn point, identifiable by glowing ruins in Burial Chambers. For a quicker search, utilize the Valheim World Generator (created by wd40bomber7) to pinpoint his exact coordinates based on your world seed. Once found, build a portal for easy access. Gold, obtained from selling gems and other materials, is his preferred currency.

Locating Hildir (Meadows Merchant)

Hildir resides in the Meadows biome but is harder to find due to her distant spawn (3000-5100m from the world center). The Valheim World Generator provides the fastest solution, or search Meadows within the specified radius (spawn points are roughly 1000m apart). A T-shirt icon appears on the map when nearby. Build a portal after discovery. Hildir offers clothing with stamina reduction buffs and unique quests. Completing these quests, which involve finding her lost chests in various biomes (Black Forest, Mountains, Plains), unlocks additional inventory items.

Tracking Down the Bog Witch (Swamp Merchant)

The Bog Witch, found in the challenging Swamp biome (3000-8000m from the world center), is the newest addition. Her cauldron icon appears on the map when you're close. Consider using the World Generator to locate her quickly. She offers unique crafting ingredients for food and meads.
