Where to Find the Weird Flower in Stalker 2

Locate the Weird Flower Artifact in the northern section of the 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. The Artifact, a small blue flower, awaits your discovery.

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 equipment; new players typically have one.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A bed suitable for this purpose 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 by the scarcity of sleeping locations. Its stealth benefit may not outweigh other strategic options for many players.
