Valheim Merchant Locations and Inventories: A Comprehensive Guide

Valheim's challenging world is made slightly easier by the presence of three helpful merchants. Locating these traders, however, can be tricky due to the game's procedural generation. This guide details the location and inventory of each merchant, helping you navigate Valheim's dangers more effectively.

I. Finding Haldor (Black Forest Merchant)

Haldor, residing in the Black Forest, is generally the easiest merchant to find. He spawns within a 1500m radius of the world's center. He's often near Elder spawn points (located by examining 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. Trade with Haldor using gold, readily obtained from exploring dungeons and selling gems.

Haldor's Inventory:

Yule Hat	100	Always	Cosmetic (helmet slot)
Dverger Circlet	620	Always	Provides light

Thunder Stone	50	Post-Elder	Obliterator construction material

II. Finding Hildir (Meadows Merchant)

Hildir, located in the Meadows, is more challenging to find due to her distant spawn (3000-5100m from the world center, with spawn points approximately 1000m apart). The Valheim World Generator is highly recommended. Alternatively, search Meadows within the specified radius; a T-shirt icon appears on the map when you're 300-400m away. Build a portal upon discovery. Hildir offers clothing with stamina reduction buffs and unique quests. Completing these quests (retrieving chests from various biomes) unlocks additional inventory items.

III. Finding the Bog Witch (Swamp Merchant)

The Bog Witch, found in the Swamp biome, is the most recent addition. She spawns between 3000m and 8000m from the world center, with spawn points 1000m apart. The World Generator is highly recommended for this challenging search. Look for her Cauldron icon on the map as you approach. She offers crafting materials for new foods and meads.
