In Stalker 2, the anomalous Poppy Field holds a unique Artifact: the Weird Flower. This guide explains 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. Bring plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to counter this. The flower itself is a small, blue bloom on the ground.
Using the Weird Flower
To use the Weird Flower, equip it in an available Artifact slot above your Quick Access menu (the number of slots depends on your gear). Its effect—a temporary stealth buff—only activates 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. Note that sleeping may advance the in-game time significantly.
The Weird Flower's usefulness is limited by the scarcity of sleeping locations and its temporary nature. Some players may find it more practical to sell it to a trader.
