Where to Find the Weird Flower in Stalker 2

The Weird Flower is located in the northern part of the Poppy Field, beyond the L-shaped building. Be warned: the field's anomalies cause extreme drowsiness and hallucinations. Carry plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to survive the journey. Look for a small, blue flower on the ground.

How to Use the Weird Flower

Equip the Weird Flower in an available Artifact slot above your Quick Access menu. The number of slots varies depending on your gear; early-game players usually have only one.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A bed suitable for this purpose is found in a side room at the Trader's in the Lesser Zone. Sleeping may advance the in-game time significantly.

The Weird Flower's practicality is limited by the scarcity of sleeping locations and its niche utility. Many players may find it more valuable to sell to a trader.

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