This guide details how to locate and utilize the three merchants in Valheim: Haldor (Black Forest), Hildir (Meadows), and the Bog Witch (Swamp). Their locations are procedurally generated, making them challenging to find without assistance. The Valheim World Generator, created by wd40bomber7, is a valuable tool for pinpointing their exact coordinates.
Finding and Utilizing Haldor (Black Forest Merchant)
Haldor, typically found within a 1500m radius of the world center, is the easiest merchant to locate. He often spawns near The Elder's spawn point, identifiable by glowing ruins in Burial Chambers. The World Generator offers a more efficient search method. Once located, build a portal for easy access. Trade with him using gold, obtained from selling gems and other materials.

Finding and Utilizing Hildir (Meadows Merchant)
Hildir resides in the Meadows, but her spawn is further from the world center (3000-5100m radius). Use the World Generator or search within the specified radius, looking for a T-shirt icon on the map when approaching. She offers clothing with stamina reduction buffs and quests to retrieve lost chests, unlocking additional inventory.
Hildir's Inventory: (Note: Many items are unlocked after returning her chests from various biomes.)

Finding and Utilizing the Bog Witch (Swamp Merchant)
The Bog Witch, located in the Swamp biome (3000-8000m from the world center), is the most challenging merchant to find. Look for her Cauldron icon on the map. She offers ingredients for cooking and mead brewing.
Bog Witch's Inventory: (Note: Many items are unlocked after defeating bosses.)
