In Stalker 2, the Poppy Field holds a unique Artifact: the Weird Flower. This guide details its location and use.
Finding the Weird Flower
The Weird Flower is located in the northern part of the Poppy Field, beyond the central L-shaped building. Be warned: the field's effects cause drowsiness and hallucinations. Carry plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to counteract these effects. The flower itself is a small, blue bloom on the ground.
Using the Weird Flower
Equip the Weird Flower in an available Artifact slot above your Quick Access items. The number of slots varies depending 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 convenient sleeping spot is found in a side room at the Trader's location in the Lesser Zone. Sleeping advances time, so be mindful of the time of day.
Is it Worth It?
The Weird Flower's limited utility and the scarcity of sleeping locations in the game make it less valuable for some players. Its stealth benefit might not outweigh the effort for those who prefer direct combat. Selling it to a trader is a viable option.
