In Stalker 2, the anomalous Poppy Field holds a unique Artifact: the Weird Flower. This guide explains its location and use.
Weird Flower Location
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 extreme drowsiness and hallucinations. Carry plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to survive the journey. The Artifact is 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 depends on your gear; early-game players usually have only one.
The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth boost, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A bed is available in a side room at the Lesser Zone Trader's location. Sleeping here advances time, potentially shifting your sleep cycle.
The Weird Flower's practical value is limited due to the scarcity of sleeping locations and its temporary effect. Many players may find it more valuable to sell it to a trader.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available now on Xbox and PC.
