Where to Find the Weird Flower in Stalker 2

Locate the Weird Flower Artifact in the northern part of the Poppy Field. You'll need to navigate past the central L-shaped building. Be warned: the field's effects induce drowsiness and hallucinations. Carry plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to mitigate these effects. 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; new players typically have only one.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A convenient bed for this purpose is located in a side room at the Lesser Zone Trader's location. Sleeping will advance the in-game time.

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

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