Locate the Weird Flower Artifact in the northern part of Stalker 2's Poppy Field, beyond the central L-shaped building. Be warned: the field induces drowsiness and hallucinations. Bring plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to mitigate these effects. The Artifact appears as 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 varies depending 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 convenient sleeping spot is found in a side room at the Lesser Zone Trader's location. Note that sleeping may advance the in-game time significantly.

The Weird Flower's practical value is limited due to the scarcity of sleeping locations in the game. Its stealth benefit may not outweigh alternative strategies.

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