Searching for Haldor and Hildr

[Callirgos]

Searching for these NPCs is too hard. Their potential spawn points should be more numerous.

There are actually several of each that generate when you build a world...it's only the one you find of the several that stays marked on the map. If there were only a single spawn point, I would say that is too hard, but as there are several it's not that bad. Since the world map is circular and the original spawn point is near center, it's a matter of circling out to find the first spawn of the Traders, inho.

I've spent an embarrassing 20 human hours looking for this...

I almost always find them when I'm not looking. However, in cases like yours I've found the valheim map world viewer/generator to be helpful... a bit too helpful so consider your options carefully.

If you want to post your seed and a screenshot of your current world map, someone might give you a hint as to what direction to head in exploration.

I find circumnavigating the elder's island gets me the Trader about 80% of the time. If that fails I seek the 2nd or 3rd Elder location and do the same.

Hildir will be located here according to this map:

I would pay Hugann 10k gold to ping it for me. Just once.

Put in your seed and check the "Traders" box.

The merchant stays closer to the center than the second boss. You can enter a dungeon and find the second boss and determine the distance accordingly. All you have to do is draw a circle on the map./Tüccar merkeze ikinci patrondan daha yakın durur. Bir zindana girip ikinci bossu bulabilir ve ona göre mesafeyi belirleyebilirsiniz. Tek yapmanız gereken haritaya bir daire çizmek.

I found Hildir, but as of say 198 still no Haldor.

Just sail around, you will find them eventually if you just dont search too far out on the map.

both are fine. you probaly look in the wrong places. all it needs is a ship and some patience. and 20 hours is nothing for a game like valheim.

thier spawn isnt fixed. as soon as youre within 500m of them theyll generate and spawn a map icon you can see. once generated the other spawn points get disabled.

hildirs spawn area is super limited for example. she has to be within 3000-5100 meters from spawn and it has to be a meadows biome. that greatly limits the area you have to search. a longship is all you really need to find both.

[Admiral Chowderpants]

If you divide the radius of the world by about 1/3, then travel that distance away from the center... then "orbit" your spawn point by about that distance you should discover her.

The game should give hints. like, the winds blows in their direction

Yeah. It just isn't going to happen for me. If I return to the game I'll build a wizard tower over the Queen's dungeon.
