Ah, interesting!

Quick answer, make noise

Noise is exactly right; creatures "hear" much better than they "see". Hitting a tree can be "heard" from 100 meters away, with the player as the source of the "sound", even after they move away... it dissipates at a rate of 4m per second.

Assuming you don't mind taking on absolutely everything in the swamp, the easiest method of finding an abomination is probably to wander around the swamp, hitting a nearby tree with your axe every 10-15 seconds to keep a large "noise" radius.

Ah, the Abominations are easy enough to beat to death in melee anywho (especially with the greataxe), but I appreciate the help nonetheless! :3

Also, thanks for letting me know about the map thing that shows where Leviathans can Spawn. I might use it at some point if I have 0 luck finding any

Leviathans are in the Ocean biome , they are islands in the ocean, not in the swamps. You dont kill Leviathans you farm spots on their shells until they sink and peace out.

The root monsters should respawn in the same swamp after 'a few days'; you'll
eventually get all you need to fully upgrade a root set by visiting a few swamps
in rotation; you're going to want to farm leeches a bit anyway.

The Leviathans can't really be farmed. You just have to find them. In the ocean
somewhere or close to shore... either way. They don't appear to respawn
though someone claimed a long time ago that one did respawn in the
same spot but it took a looong time to happen.
You don't really need that much chitin to make and upgrade everything;
I think 3 Leviathans is enough.

Yeah, I know. I should have worded it better, but I know Leviathans spawn in the ocean.

Alright! Thanks.

There is a website that can show you where on your world seed the leviathans are if you don't mind finding it out in a cheaty way. Here is the link, you just need to input your world seed and then it can show you where they are by clicking on the box on the left of the screen that reveals where the leviathans are (https://valheim-map.world/)

I always farm the abominations by going to several different swamps that I frequent and looking for the green stumps that are just hiding there. If you shoot them when they are hidden as stumps with a fire arrow, you can do a lot more damage until they wake up and start coming for you. I think they respawn every 2-3 game days, that's why I travel to a few different swamps to farm them. Also, if you want to be fairly safe, you can hop up on top of a nearby crypt and pelt the aboms from that spot and they can't really do anything to you. Just be careful it's not nighttime because wraiths can get you when you are up there, not much of anything else though.
