Where to Find the Weird Flower in Stalker 2

Locate the Weird Flower Artifact in the northern section of Stalker 2's Poppy Field. Navigate past the central L-shaped building. Remember to carry ample Non-Stop Energy Drinks to counteract the field's debilitating effects, including drowsiness and hallucinations. Continue until you spot a small, distinctive 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 equippable Artifacts depends on your gear; beginners typically have one slot.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while equipped. A convenient sleeping spot is located in a side room at the Trader's in the Lesser Zone. Be aware 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 other strategic options.

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