Haldor impossible(extremly hard to find) and scuffed world generation

[Stellrow]

I have spent around 4-5 hours already just exploring trying to find Haldor,with no luck,we really need a way to find him guaranteed(boss way or something),there is nothing more triggering than having the progress halt because of rng or because its unpredictable

Also im leaning towards the world generation being at fault,as for some reason my world doesnt seem to rly split in small islands(not the center one at least),as i currently have one huge ass spawn island with meadows,blackforest,swamp and plains all in one piece

Haldor has no progression tied to him at all currently. If you need to find him there are guides with seeds where he is close by.

So Haldor spawns just randomly in any Black Forest on the map. On one map I have Haldor is literally near the edge of the world. It is all just dumb luck if Haldor is on your island or one nearby. Your best bet, if you're desperate for him, is to find a seed online and either use that world just for Haldor or migrating to that world.

Found him now 4 times. Looks as if he is on a ring around the start, with a radius like 150% of the south end of your island.

He must be in a dark forest


Or you make it easy and use one of my maps

(2 seeds with Trader position, or you just visit the storehouse and take the trader stuff)

Just man up like everyone else and find him. Took me 70 hours of gameplay until I stumbled across him. That's RNG in an exploration and survival game. I could have cheesed over to other maps people posted but that's not my style.

You put a mission to find him as mandatory and forgot how to enjoy the game. Does everything ingame not matter anymore until you find that haldor? If you dont enjoy sailing with ship and exploring maybe play other game and get back to this when you not burned out?

While he has a great belt its not mandatory to find him.

the extra 150 weight is a game changer though.

That and the light-emitting headgear are very useful items.

Yeah I feel like the belt is mandatory after a point given growing gear weight.
Personally I feel he should show up on the map after you beat the elder or something, and have his inventory expand as you beat further bosses. Say it's something like he can more easily acquire things without their influence.

Yea you've GOT to get that belt for ore mining ASAP.
I feel like Haldor should be easier to find, harder to get to

Fishing rod = Fish as 3rd alltime food

Found 4 Haldors until now, looks as if they are placed on a circle around the Startpoint, with comparable distance

The belt is nice to have but its really not needed. Without belt you have to run twice for full armor with belt its 1,5 times.

There is a way to find him though if you can look at your map file code and deduce it . I would write a guide about it but tbh i havent written any guide before....
Also when i look at the code , it appear there suppose to be multiple Haldo place on the map but currently only 1 active .

Sorry to say, but you actually didn't explore much. just sail along the coasts of the neighboring islands, he isn't that far from your starting location.... and he appears on your map if you get close, even he is at a spot you haven't discovered yet.
Try the islands to the east and west or the island with the elder.
