Where To Find the Weird Flower in Stalker 2

Locate the Weird Flower Artifact in the Poppy Field's northern section, beyond the central L-shaped building. Navigating this area requires several Non-Stop Energy Drinks to combat the field's drowsiness and hallucinations. The Artifact, a small blue flower, awaits.

How To Use the Weird Flower

Equip the Weird Flower in an available Artifact slot above the Quick Access menu. The number of slots depends on your gear; new players typically have one.

This Artifact provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while equipped. A bed in the Lesser Zone trader's side room is one location to achieve this. Note that sleeping may advance the in-game time significantly.

The Weird Flower's practicality is limited by the scarcity of sleeping locations, diminishing its overall value. 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.
