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

Finding the Weird Flower

The Weird Flower is located in the northern part of the Poppy Field, beyond the L-shaped building. Be warned: the field's effects cause drowsiness and hallucinations. Carry plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to mitigate these effects. The flower itself is a small, blue bloom on the ground.

Using the Weird Flower

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

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A bed suitable for Skif 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, due to the scarcity of sleeping locations and its niche application, means it's often more valuable sold to a trader.

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