Valheim's Wandering Merchants: Locations and Inventory Guide
Valheim's challenging world rewards exploration, but finding the game's merchants can be tricky. These three traders offer valuable goods to aid your survival. Their locations are procedurally generated, making each playthrough unique. This guide reveals their whereabouts and inventory.
Quick Navigation:
Haldor: Black Forest Merchant
Haldor, often the easiest to find, spawns within 1500m of your world's center. He resides in the Black Forest, accessible relatively early in the game. He's frequently near The Elder's spawn point (often indicated by glowing ruins in Burial Chambers). For a guaranteed location, use the Valheim World Generator (created by wd40bomber7) to pinpoint his coordinates based on your world seed. Once located, build a portal for easy access. Gold is his currency; sell gems and jewelry to acquire it.

Hildir: Meadows Merchant
Hildir, located in the Meadows, is more elusive due to her distant spawn (3000-5100m from the world center, approximately 1000m between potential locations). The Valheim World Generator is your best bet. Otherwise, search Meadows at these distances. A T-shirt icon appears on the map when you are 300-400m away. Build a portal upon discovery.
Hildir offers clothing with stamina reduction buffs. More importantly, she provides quests to recover lost items, leading you to new dungeons and rewarding you with access to additional, enhanced clothing items in her shop.

The Bog Witch, found in the treacherous Swamp biome (3000-8000m from the world center, 1000m between spawn points), is the newest merchant. Her Cauldron icon signals proximity. The Valheim World Generator is highly recommended. Her hut provides comfort level 3 and offers ingredients for unique foods and meads.
