The Weird Flower Artifact is located in the Poppy Field's northern section, beyond the central L-shaped building. Navigating this area requires ample Non-Stop Energy Drinks to counteract the field's drowsiness and hallucinations. Continue through the field until you spot 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 depends on your gear; new players typically 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 Lesser Zone Trader's location. Sleeping advances time, potentially shifting from day to night.

The Weird Flower's overall utility is limited by the scarcity of sleeping locations in the game. Its stealth benefit might not appeal to all players. Selling it to a trader is a viable option.

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