In Stalker 2, the Poppy Field Anomalous Zone holds a unique Artifact: the Weird Flower. This guide explains its location and use.
Finding the Weird Flower
The Weird Flower is located in the northern part of the Poppy Field, beyond the central L-shaped building. Be warned: the field's effects cause drowsiness and hallucinations. Carry plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to mitigate these effects. Look for a small, blue flower on the ground.
Using the Weird Flower
Equip the Weird Flower in an available Artifact slot above your Quick Access menu. The number of slots depends on your gear; early-game players typically have only one.
The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth boost, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A convenient sleeping spot is found in a side room at the Trader's location in the Lesser Zone. Note that sleeping can advance the in-game time significantly.
The Weird Flower's practical value is limited due to the scarcity of sleeping locations in the game. Its stealth benefit may not outweigh other options for many players.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available now on Xbox and PC.
