Valheim is an immersive game centered around exploring new biomes and gathering resources to challenge its formidable bosses. The journey can be intense, especially in treacherous areas like the Swamp and Mountain, where even the most seasoned players can be taken down swiftly upon arrival.

Despite its challenging environment, Valheim offers respite through its merchants, who provide essential items to ease your journey. Currently, there are three merchants in the game, each offering unique goods that can significantly enhance your experience. However, locating them in the game's procedurally generated worlds can be daunting. Here's a detailed guide on where to find each merchant and what they have to offer.

How To Find Haldor In Valheim (Black Forest Merchant)

Haldor is one of the easiest merchants to locate due to his proximity to the world center, spawning within a 1500m radius. He resides in the Black Forest biome, which you can explore early in the game.

Haldor tends to appear near The Elder's spawn area, the boss of the Black Forest. To find The Elder, look for glowing ruins in Burial Chambers. However, given the large search area, using the Valheim World Generator, created by wd40bomber7, can streamline your search by allowing you to generate your world seed and pinpoint trader locations.

Once you find Haldor, he'll consistently spawn at that location. Building a portal near his spot will make future visits quick and convenient. You'll need gold to trade with him, which you can acquire by exploring dungeons and selling gems like Rubies, Amber Pearls, and Silver Necklaces.

How To Find Hildir In Valheim (Meadows Merchant)

Hildir, located in the Meadows biome, is harder to find than Haldor despite the biome's relative safety. She typically spawns between 3000 and 5100m from the world center, with each potential spawn point approximately 1000m apart. You may need to sail around the world to locate her, but a T-Shirt icon will appear on your map when you're within 300-400m of her location. Building a portal once you find her will facilitate future visits.

Hildir specializes in clothing that offers various buffs. Many items provide similar benefits, allowing you to choose based on style without sacrificing functionality. Additionally, she offers quests to recover her lost items, leading you to new dungeons in different biomes:

Smouldering Tombs in The Black Forest
Howling Caverns in Mountains
Sealed Towers in The Plains

Completing these quests and returning the chests to Hildir unlocks new items in her shop with diverse effects.
