Valheim Merchant Locations and Inventory Guide: Find Haldor, Hildir, and the Bog Witch
Valheim's challenging world becomes more manageable 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 these merchants is key to acquiring valuable items and progressing through the game.
How to Find Haldor (Black Forest Merchant)
Haldor, often the easiest to locate, spawns within 1500m of the world's center. He's found in the Black Forest, an early-game biome. He's frequently near Elder spawn points (located near glowing ruins in Burial Chambers). For a more efficient search, use the Valheim World Generator (created by wd40bomber7) to pinpoint his exact coordinates based on your world seed. Once found, build a portal for easy access. Trade with him using gold obtained from exploring dungeons and selling gems.

How to Find Hildir (Meadows Merchant)
Hildir resides in the Meadows biome but is harder to find than Haldor due to her distant spawn location (3000-5100m from the world center). The Valheim World Generator is recommended. Alternatively, search Meadows within the specified radius (spawn points are ~1000m apart). A T-shirt icon appears on the map when you're nearby. Build a portal after locating her. Hildir offers clothing with stamina reduction buffs and quests leading to new dungeons and unique items.
