In Stalker 2, the Poppy Field holds a unique Artifact: the Weird Flower. This guide explains its location and use.
Where to Find the Weird Flower
Locate the Weird Flower in the Poppy Field's northern section, beyond the central L-shaped building. Be warned: the field induces drowsiness and hallucinations; bring plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks for survival. The Artifact appears as a small blue flower on the ground.
How to Use the Weird Flower
Equip the Weird Flower in your Artifact slot (above the Quick Access section). The number of usable slots depends on your gear; most early-game players only have one.
The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while equipped. A convenient bed is located in a side room at the Lesser Zone Trader's location. Sleeping may advance the in-game time significantly.
Is it Worth It?
The Weird Flower's limited utility and the scarcity of sleeping locations diminish its overall value. Its stealth benefit may not outweigh the effort for players who prefer direct combat. Selling it to a trader is a viable option.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available now on Xbox and PC.
