Wraith behavior at sunrise
After spending quite a bit of time plugging oozers and Wraiths with arrows it seemed that the second you got the 'announcement' about the new day they would both disappear. A few times I've had arrows in flight and both oozers and Wraiths would poof away. Today I was shooting at an oozer from just outside the Swamp boundary in a section of Meadows. As I drew my bow for the killshot the Day XXXX flashed across the screen and the oozer despawned.
As I virtually shrugged my shoulders I realized something was hitting me from behind. Turning around there was a Wraith about 2 meters away in attack mode - after sunrise and in the Meadows. Wraith have come at me when I was in non-Swamp biomes but at night only. I've heard that daytime Wraith exist but only in Swamp structures. This Wraith apparently is related to Blade: The Daywalker
Or WAS related to him.
Anybody else see something like this?

I guess that's kinda the nice thing about a game that's still in development. You think you know all of what's possible, then a daytime wraith hits you from behind in a meadows. I like that kinda wild west feel where you see crazy stuff if you play long enough

Wraiths have a chance to spawn at the swamp huts during the day or anytime.
This has always been in the game but I think it probably didn't work or was too rare.
After one of the patches the day wraiths seem much more common.
Kind of like how the wolf event was broken but this did work initially but just was super rare.
The way the wiki puts it those wraith/swamphut spawns were one time events like cave trolls.
From the wiki:
Anywhere in Swamps during the night time, despawn at dawn
Rare spawn point near abandoned huts in Swamps, also during the day time -One time
What it didn't say was if they were triggered the first time a player got near. In my case I'd been all over the only nearby structure, (a circular broken stone tower, not a hut) several times in the past weeks.
The Reddit posts also seemed to indicate that at some point wraith sightings in general increased noticeably. One thing I'm pretty sure of is the devs understandably enjoy tweaking stuff for us to 'discover'. Which I find refreshingly evil.

It could be that it was originally from a swamp biome you were in previously. Once they "get your scent", a wraith will chase you down forever, even if you teleport to the opposite side of Valheim itself!

I hadn't actually been in this or any other swamp for a few game days. I was just shooting from the Meadows when I saw an oozer. The only local swamp structure was a Draugr spawner that I had taken out weeks ago. The wiki indicated the fixed Wraith spawns were one time events similar to a troll in a cave.
I'm guessing the Wraith had been out partying with some Greydwarfs and was on its way home when it spotted me.
Reddit had a few scattered reports of daywalker Wraiths but it seems pretty rare.

I think they have been changed to stick around a lot more now in daytime
