Elden Ring

Where to Find All Nomadic, Isolated and Hermit Merchants

By
Scott Peers

There are numerous merchants that can be found throughout the Lands Between in Elden Ring. They are sometimes referred to as either Nomadic Merchants, Isolated Merchants, Hermit Merchants, Wandering Merchants, or Imprisoned Merchants. However, they are all essentially the same type of NPC: offering goods in the form of armor, weapons, consumables, recipe books, notes containing information about points of interest, and even unique items that you can’t find anywhere else. This page details where to find all of these merchants in every region of the base game.
