Where to Find the Weird Flower in *Stalker 2*
Locate the Weird Flower Artifact on the northern side of the Poppy Field. You'll need to navigate past the L-shaped house in the center. Be warned: the field's effects induce drowsiness and hallucinations; bring plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to counteract this. Keep moving until you spot a small blue flower on the ground – that's your prize.
How to Use the Weird Flower
Equip the Weird Flower in an empty Artifact slot above your Quick Access section. The number of slots available depends on your gear; new players typically have only one.
The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth boost, but only after sleeping while wearing it. Currently, a bed in the Trader's side room in the Lesser Zone is known to work for this purpose. Sleeping will also advance time, potentially shifting your wake-up time to night.
The Weird Flower's practicality is somewhat limited due to the scarcity of sleep locations in the game. Its stealth benefit may not be worth the effort for players who prefer direct combat. Selling it to a trader is a viable option.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available now on Xbox and PC.
