Head to the northern part of the Poppy Field to locate the Weird Flower Artifact in *Stalker 2*. You'll need to navigate past an L-shaped house in the center of the field. Make sure to bring along a few Non-Stop Energy Drinks to keep Skif alert. The anomalous field can induce drowsiness and even hallucinations, but keep moving forward until you spot a small, distinct blue flower on the ground.

How To Use Weird Flower

After securing the Weird Flower, you'll need to equip it by placing it in the empty slot above the Quick Access section of your inventory. Note that the number of Artifacts you can equip depends on your gear, and new players are typically limited to just one.

The Weird Flower grants a temporary stealth buff, but there's a catch—you need to sleep while wearing it to activate this effect. Currently, the only known bed where Skif can rest is found in a side room at the Lesser Zone's Trader location. Sleeping will also advance the in-game time, so if you doze off in the morning, you might wake up at night.

Personally, I find the Weird Flower to be less useful due to the scarcity of places where Skif can sleep. Additionally, my playstyle leans more towards direct confrontation rather than stealth, so I ended up selling the Artifact to a trader.

*Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl* is now available on Xbox and PC, inviting you to delve into its mysterious world and uncover its secrets.
