In the vast and challenging world of Valheim, exploration is key to survival and progression. As you venture into diverse biomes to gather resources and challenge formidable bosses, the game introduces a much-needed respite in the form of merchants. These traders, scattered throughout Valheim's procedurally generated worlds, offer essential items that can ease your journey through this perilous landscape. Here's a detailed guide on locating each merchant and understanding their valuable offerings.
How To Find Haldor In Valheim (Black Forest Merchant)
Haldor, residing in the Black Forest, is one of the more accessible merchants to locate. His potential spawn points are within a 1500m radius of the world's center, making him a relatively early find. The Black Forest is also one of the first biomes you'll explore, and Haldor often sets up shop near the spawn areas of The Elder, the biome's boss. To pinpoint his location, you can search around the glowing ruins in Burial Chambers, which often indicate The Elder's vicinity. However, for a more efficient approach, consider using the Valheim World Generator by wd40bomber7. This tool allows you to input your world seed and reveal trader locations.
Once you find Haldor, remember his position, as he will consistently appear there. Building a portal nearby is advisable for quick access. Trading with Haldor requires gold, which you can obtain by exploring dungeons and selling valuable gems like Rubies, Amber Pearls, and Silver Necklaces.

How To Find Hildir In Valheim (Meadows Merchant)
Hildir, found in the Meadows, poses a greater challenge due to her distant spawn locations from the world center, typically between 3000 and 5100m. Each potential spawn point is about 1000m apart, meaning you might need to explore a significant portion of the world to find her. The Valheim World Generator can expedite this process, but if you prefer the thrill of discovery, keep an eye out for a T-Shirt icon on the map when you're within 300-400m of her camp.
Upon finding Hildir, build a portal for convenience. She specializes in clothing with various buffs, offering a range of items that not only enhance your character's appearance but also provide practical benefits. Additionally, Hildir offers quests that lead you to new dungeons across different biomes, rewarding you with chests that unlock additional items in her shop.

How To Find The Bog Witch In Valheim (Swamp Merchant)
The Bog Witch, a more recent addition to Valheim's merchants, resides in the treacherous Swamp biome. Her location spans between 3000m and 8000m from the world center, with potential spawn points 1000m apart. Given the Swamp's dangers, you might want to gear up before setting out. The Valheim World Generator can be a useful tool here, but if you're up for the challenge, watch for the Cauldron icon on your map as you approach her location.
Once found, the Bog Witch will remain in her spot, so bring materials to construct a portal. This friendly Greydwarf merchant, with her magical Kvastur, not only keeps her hut tidy but also offers a comfort level of 3 while inside. Her offerings include unique items for crafting new types of food and meads, enhancing your survival chances in Valheim.
