Unveiling Merchant Outposts: The Complete Valheim Guide

Valheim's Wandering Merchants: Locations and Inventory Guide

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

Finding Haldor (Black Forest Merchant)

Haldor, often the easiest to locate, spawns within a 1500m radius of your world's center. He resides in the Black Forest, an early-game explorable area. He's frequently near The Elder's spawn point (often indicated by glowing ruins in Burial Chambers). For a quicker search, use the Valheim World Generator (created by wd40bomber7) to pinpoint his exact coordinates using your world seed. Once found, build a portal for easy access. Trade with him using gold, easily obtained by exploring dungeons and selling gems (Rubies, Amber Pearls, Silver Necklaces, etc.).

Finding Hildir (Meadows Merchant)

Hildir, located in the Meadows, is harder to find than Haldor due to her distant spawn (3000-5100m from the world center, with spawn points approximately 1000m apart). The Valheim World Generator is the fastest method, but searching Meadows within the given radius is an alternative. A T-shirt icon appears on the map when you're within 300-400m. Build a portal after finding her.

Hildir offers clothing with stamina reduction buffs and unique quests. Completing these quests (finding her lost chests in various biomes) unlocks additional, powerful clothing items in her shop.

Finding the Bog Witch (Swamp Merchant)

The Bog Witch, found in the treacherous Swamp biome (3000-8000m from the world center, with spawn points 1000m apart), is arguably the most challenging merchant to locate. The World Generator is highly recommended. Look for her Cauldron icon on the map when approaching. Build a portal once you find her friendly Greydwarf abode. She offers items for crafting new foods and meads.
