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 enigmatic Weird Flower Artifact. This guide details its location and use.
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: the field's effects induce drowsiness and hallucinations. Stock up on Non-Stop Energy Drinks to navigate safely. Keep moving until you spot a small, blue flower on the ground – your prize.
Utilizing the Weird Flower
Equip the Weird Flower in an available Artifact slot above your Quick Access menu. The number of slots depends on your gear; beginners usually have one.
The Artifact provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while equipped. A suitable bed is located in a side room at the Trader's in the Lesser Zone. Sleeping advances time, potentially shifting your wake-up time.
The Weird Flower's practical value is limited due to the scarcity of sleeping locations. Its stealth benefit may not outweigh other options for many players.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is currently available on Xbox and PC.
