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 your Artifact slot (located above the Quick Access section). The number of Artifacts you can equip depends on your gear; early-game players typically have only one slot.
The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while equipped. A bed suitable for Skif is found in a side room at the Lesser Zone Trader's location. Sleeping advances time, so a morning nap might result in a nighttime awakening.
The Weird Flower's practical value is debatable due to limited sleeping locations. Its stealth benefit may not outweigh other strategic options. Selling it to a trader is a viable alternative.
