Discover the Elusive Weird Flower Artifact in Stalker 2!

This guide details the location and use of the Weird Flower Artifact within Stalker 2's challenging Poppy Field Anomalous Zone. Navigating this area requires preparation; bring ample Non-Stop Energy Drinks to combat the drowsiness and hallucinations.

Locating the Weird Flower:

The Weird Flower is situated in the northern section of the Poppy Field, beyond the central L-shaped structure. Keep moving through the field, battling the effects of the anomaly, until you spot a small, distinctive blue flower on the ground.

Utilizing the Weird Flower:

Equip the Weird Flower in your Artifact slot (located above the Quick Access section). The number of Artifacts you can equip depends on your gear; early-game players typically have only one slot available.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, 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. Be aware that sleeping may advance the in-game time significantly.

Practical Considerations:

The Weird Flower's limited utility stems from the scarcity of sleeping locations within the game. Its stealth benefit might not outweigh its drawbacks for players who prefer a more direct approach. Selling it to a trader is a viable option.

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