In Stalker 2, the Poppy Field Anomaly holds a unique Artifact: the Weird Flower. This guide details its location and use.
Finding the Weird Flower
The Weird Flower is nestled in the Poppy Field's northern section, beyond the central L-shaped building. Navigating this area requires Non-Stop Energy Drinks to counteract the field's drowsiness and hallucinations. Simply proceed until you spot 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 usable slots depends on your gear; early-game players usually have only one. (Image: Screenshot by The Escapist)
The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while equipped. A bed in the Lesser Zone trader's side room is a convenient spot for this. Sleeping might advance the in-game time significantly.
The Weird Flower's practical value is limited due to the scarcity of sleep locations in the game. Its stealth benefit may not outweigh its drawbacks for all players.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available now on Xbox and PC.
