Discover the Elusive Weird Flower Artifact in Stalker 2
The Poppy Field in Stalker 2 holds more than just a side quest; it's home to the intriguing Weird Flower Artifact. This guide details its location and usage.
Locating the Weird Flower
The Weird Flower is nestled in the northern part of the Poppy Field, beyond the central L-shaped structure. Be warned: navigating the field requires ample Non-Stop Energy Drinks to combat the debilitating drowsiness and hallucinations. Keep moving until you spot a small, distinctive blue flower on the ground.
Utilizing the Weird Flower
Equip the Weird Flower in an available Artifact slot above your Quick Access menu. The number of slots varies with your gear; early-game players typically have only one.
The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while equipped. A convenient bed is located in a side room at the Lesser Zone Trader's location. Sleeping advances time, potentially shifting your sleep cycle.
Ultimately, the Weird Flower's practical value is limited by the scarcity of sleeping locations in the game. Its stealth benefit may not outweigh alternative strategies. Selling it to a trader is a viable option.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is currently available on Xbox and PC.
