In Stalker 2, the Poppy Field holds a unique artifact: the Weird Flower. This guide explains how to find and use this intriguing item.
Locating the Weird Flower
The Weird Flower is nestled in the northern part of the Poppy Field, beyond the central L-shaped building. Be warned: the field's effects cause drowsiness and hallucinations. Stock up on Non-Stop Energy Drinks to navigate this area safely. Look for a small, blue flower on the ground.
Utilizing the Weird Flower
Equip the Weird Flower in your artifact slot (above the Quick Access menu). The number of slots available depends on your gear; new players typically have one.
The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth boost, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A convenient bed for this purpose is located in the side room of the Trader's dwelling in the Lesser Zone. Be aware that sleeping may advance the in-game time significantly.
The Weird Flower's practical value is limited due to the scarcity of sleeping locations in the game. Its stealth benefit may not outweigh other strategic options for many players.
