Valheim: Where to find the Trader?

The merchant Haldor is usually found in the Black Forest in Valheim. However, you will need to do quite a bit of moving around before you find him. We don’t yet know if he spawns in only one location or he keeps moving around like an actual Nomadic trader. The best way to find him is to keep exploring the Black Forest until you see a bag icon pop up on your map. When you get near him you will see that a small bag-like icon appears on the map. Thankfully the detection radius for the same is pretty huge and saves you some much-needed time. In fact, once you have advanced in the game sufficiently you can create a portal near Haldor so that you can reach him quickly.

How to Sell Items in Valheim

When you do reach him you will be able to purchase various different items from him in exchange for gold coins. These coins are collected by you after you kill enemies or if you find any in dungeons. Haldor will also purchase amber and rubies from you and any other valuables as well.

Now as mentioned, Haldor has on sale unique items, meaning that they are pretty expensive. Therefore, it might be a good idea to collect some coins beforehand. Also, you might find it quite difficult to find him when you start playing the game initially and you might also come across some pretty nifty enemies so it makes sense to level up. However, some of the items Haldor sells are actually pretty cool and make survival in Valheim easier.

Here are the items on the list.
