Bog Witch isn't there.

[jjrobinson2]

I apparently generated my Live world before the Bog Witch was released. Everyone assured everyone else that she would show up in existing worlds, no problem.

Completed a very long, very boring, very dangerous radial search of swamps for the Bog Witch, with no luck.

Tried to force the new trader into my world with commands from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRRwsYU7OEY, got "Found 0 objects containing 'bogwitch'", and "Missing location:bogwitch?camp".

She's not there, and she's not coming any time soon.

--
Update: Tried moving the character to a newly generated world, and she still doesn't show up in a Find.

That doesn't make her appear in the world. It just shows whether or not she's there. I'm also missing the bog witch. Doesn't show up on the map either.

Just curious, but had you explored (not just revealed) your entire world already or at least all the swamps?

I have never personally had an issue when new traders have been added in finding them in my old worlds IF I had not yet explored all the areas they might be found in.

The only way I personally know of injecting them into old worlds that have been explored is either through devcommands or by using the mod Upgrade Worlds (which is basically a better interface for those same devcommands) by way of 'resetlocations' and some variables.

Finding the locations via devcommands as in the video someone posted above is not the same as injecting them into the world as someone else has pointed out.

So I would suggest you try Upgrade Worlds mod to make things easier.

There's a mod called Upgrade World you can try using to force the Bog Witch to appear in your existing world. Make sure to follow installation and use instructions precisely.

Go into Devcommands, debug mode, etc.

Use: find BogWitch_camp 10

This will show 10 closest locations ;)

She's there. I had to scour TONS of swamp until I found her. Since I had already uncovered a wide area in the middle of my map I had to go far out to the edge to actually find her.

You can look on the Valheim map generator website. Just plug in your map and it shows where all traders are. You do have to find one in a swamp you haven't discovered yet though. I don't know what happens if you've already discovered all of the possible locations.

we found ours after a while of searching after the bogwitch update.
make sure you are going to NEW islands you've never been before.
i think the game wont choose a spot until you have gone near enough to it due to the game generates the world. the world seed is not fixed until you have actually been near enough. this is far enough away that your map is not rendering it, yet close enough for the game to make new render decisions - create new parts of your world seed. the spawn is simply chance.
but you;ll want to find the biggest swamps you can on islands you've not seen before.
if you explored your map to a great extent pre update, i suppose this could create a situation where the new lands/trader has nowhere to spawn.
