The Weird Flower is located in the northern part of the Poppy Field, beyond the central L-shaped building. Be warned: the field's anomalies cause drowsiness and hallucinations. Bring plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to counteract 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; new players usually have only one.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A bed for this purpose is found in a side room at the Trader's location in the Lesser Zone. Sleeping advances time, so a morning nap might result in waking up at night.

The Weird Flower's limited usefulness stems from the scarcity of sleeping locations and its reliance on stealth. Many players may find it more practical to sell it to a trader.

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