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

The Weird Flower is located in the northern part of the Poppy Field, beyond the L-shaped building. Be warned: the field's effects induce drowsiness and hallucinations. Carry plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to mitigate these effects. Look for 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; early-game players typically have only one.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while equipped. A bed is available in a side room at the Lesser Zone Trader's location. Sleeping here advances time, potentially changing the time of day.

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

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