In Stalker 2, the Poppy Field Anomaly 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 induces 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.
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 for this purpose is found 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.
Overall Assessment
The Weird Flower's limited utility stems from the scarcity of sleeping locations in the game. Its stealth benefit might not outweigh its drawbacks for all players. Many players may find it more practical to sell it to a trader.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available now on Xbox and PC.
