Valheim's Merchants: Locating Haldor, Hildir, and the Bog Witch for Essential Items
Valheim challenges players to explore diverse biomes and gather resources to defeat formidable bosses. The game offers respite through its merchants, each providing valuable items to ease your journey. However, their locations are procedurally generated, making them difficult to find. This guide details the locations and inventories of Haldor, Hildir, and the Bog Witch.
Finding Haldor (Black Forest Merchant)
Haldor, often the easiest to locate, spawns within a 1500m radius of the world's center in the Black Forest biome. He's frequently near The Elder's spawn point, identifiable by glowing ruins in Burial Chambers. For a quicker search, use the Valheim World Generator (created by wd40bomber7) to pinpoint his coordinates using your world seed. Once found, build a portal for easy access. Trade with him using gold, readily obtained from dungeons and selling gems.

Finding Hildir (Meadows Merchant)
Hildir resides in the Meadows biome but is harder to find due to her distant spawn (3000-5100m from the world center). The Valheim World Generator is again recommended. Alternatively, search Meadows within the specified radius; spawn points are approximately 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 for lost items, leading to new dungeons and unique shop items.
