Valheim: All Merchant Locations

Valheim Merchant Locations and Inventory Guide: Haldor, Hildir, and the Bog Witch

Valheim's challenging world becomes significantly easier with the help of its merchants. This guide details the locations and inventories of Haldor (Black Forest), Hildir (Meadows), and the Bog Witch (Swamp). Finding them can be tricky due to procedural generation, but this guide offers strategies to locate each.

How to Find Haldor (Black Forest Merchant)

Haldor, often the easiest to find, spawns within a 1500m radius of the world center. He's located in the Black Forest biome. 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 location based on your world seed. Once found, build a portal for easy access. Gold is needed to trade; sell gems (Rubies, Amber Pearls, Silver Necklaces, etc.) to acquire it.

How to Find Hildir (Meadows Merchant)

Hildir resides in the Meadows biome, but her spawn is farther from the world center than Haldor's. The Valheim World Generator is the quickest method to find her. Alternatively, search Meadows within a 3000-5100m radius of the world center (spawn points are roughly 1000m apart). A T-shirt icon appears on the map when you're close. Build a portal upon discovery.

Hildir offers clothing with stamina reduction buffs and quests that lead to new dungeons (Smouldering Tombs, Howling Caverns, Sealed Towers), rewarding chests that unlock additional inventory items.

(Note: Many items are unlocked by returning chests from Hildir's quests. See the original document for details on which quests unlock which items.)

How to Find the Bog Witch (Swamp Merchant)

The Bog Witch, located in the Swamp biome, is the most challenging merchant to find. She spawns between 3000m and 8000m from the world center, with spawn points 1000m apart. The Valheim World Generator is highly recommended. Look for her Cauldron icon on the map. Once found, build a portal. She offers items for cooking new foods and crafting meads.

(Note: Many items are unlocked after defeating bosses. See the original document for details on which boss unlocks which items.)
