In Stalker 2, the Poppy Field holds a unique Artifact: the Weird Flower. This guide details its location and use.
Finding the Weird Flower
Locate the Weird Flower in the northern part of the Poppy Field, beyond the central L-shaped structure. Be warned: the field's effects induce drowsiness and hallucinations. Carry plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to mitigate these effects. The Artifact is 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 varies with your gear; new players typically have only one.
The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A bed is available in a side room at the Lesser Zone Trader's location. Sleeping advances time, potentially shifting from day to night.
The Weird Flower's practical value is limited due to the scarcity of sleeping locations. Its effectiveness is questionable, especially for players preferring direct combat over stealth. Selling it to a trader is a viable option.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available now on Xbox and PC.
