Locate the Weird Flower 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 artifact is 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 slots available depends 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 the bed in the side room of the Trader's location in the Lesser Zone. Sleeping advances time, so be mindful of the time of day.

The Weird Flower's limited utility, due to the scarcity of sleeping locations and its niche effect, makes it easily replaceable. Many players opt to sell it to a trader.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available now on Xbox and PC.
