Where To Find the Weird Flower in Stalker 2

Locate the Weird Flower Artifact in the Poppy Field's northern section, beyond 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 appears as 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; early-game players typically have only one.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth boost, but only after sleeping while equipped. A bed suitable for this purpose is found in the side room of the Lesser Zone Trader's location. Sleeping advances time, potentially shifting your sleep cycle.

The Weird Flower's practicality is limited by the scarcity of sleeping locations and its niche utility. Many players may find it more beneficial to sell it to a trader.

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