Valheim Merchant Locations and Inventories: A Complete Guide

Valheim's challenging world is made slightly less daunting by the presence of merchants. These helpful NPCs offer valuable items, but their locations are procedurally generated, making them difficult to find. This guide details the locations and inventories of all three merchants: Haldor, Hildir, and the Bog Witch.

Finding Haldor (Black Forest Merchant)

Haldor, arguably the easiest to find, spawns within a 1500m radius of the world's center in the Black Forest biome. He's often near The Elder's spawn point (located by examining glowing ruins in Burial Chambers). For a quicker search, use the Valheim World Generator (created by wd40bomber7) to pinpoint his location using your world seed. Once found, build a portal for easy access. Trade with Haldor using gold, readily obtained from exploring dungeons and selling gems.

Finding Hildir (Meadows Merchant)

Hildir resides in the Meadows biome, but her spawn is further from the world center than Haldor's. The Valheim World Generator is the fastest way to locate her, otherwise, search Meadows between 3000m and 5100m from the center. A T-shirt icon appears on the map when you're within 300-400m. Build a portal after finding her. Hildir offers clothing with stamina reduction buffs and quests that reward access to additional inventory items. These quests involve finding her lost chests in various biomes:

• Smouldering Tombs (Black Forest)
• Howling Caverns (Mountains)
• Sealed Towers (Plains)

Hildir's Inventory:

(Note: Many items are unlocked after returning Hildir's chests. See the original article for complete details.)

Finding 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 potential spawn points 1000m apart. Use the World Generator or look for her Cauldron icon on the map. She offers items for cooking new foods and crafting meads.

The Bog Witch's Inventory:

(Note: Many items are unlocked after boss defeats. See the original article for complete details.)
