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

Using the Weird Flower

Equip the Weird Flower in an available Artifact slot above your Quick Access section. The number of slots depends on your gear; new players typically have only one.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth boost, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A bed suitable for Skif is found in a side room at the Trader's in the Lesser Zone. Sleeping advances time, so a morning nap might result in waking up at night.

The Weird Flower's practical value is limited due to the scarcity of sleeping locations. Its stealth benefit may not outweigh other strategies. Selling it to a trader is a viable option.

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