Finding 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 counteract this. The Artifact is a small blue flower on the ground.

Using the Weird Flower

Equip the Weird Flower in your Artifact slot (above the Quick Access section). The number of Artifacts you can equip depends on your gear; early-game players usually have one slot.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth boost, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A bed suitable for this purpose is found in a side room at the Trader's in the Lesser Zone. 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. If stealth isn't your playstyle, selling it to a trader might be a better option.

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