In Stalker 2, the anomalous Poppy Field holds a unique Artifact: the Weird Flower. This guide explains its location and use.

Where to Find the Weird Flower

Locate the Weird Flower Artifact in the Poppy Field's northern section, beyond the central L-shaped building. Be warned: the field's anomalies cause drowsiness and hallucinations. Carry plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to counteract these effects. The Artifact appears as a small, blue flower on the ground.

How to Use the Weird Flower

Equip the Weird Flower in an available Artifact slot above your Quick Access menu. The number of slots varies depending on your gear; new players typically have only one.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while equipped. A bed suitable for this purpose is located in a side room at the Lesser Zone Trader's location. Sleeping advances time, so a morning nap might result in waking up at night.

The Weird Flower's limited usefulness stems from the scarcity of sleeping locations and its reliance on stealth tactics. Many players might find it more practical to sell it to a trader.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available now on Xbox and PC.
