The Weird Flower Artifact awaits you on the northern side of the Poppy Field in Stalker 2. To reach it, you'll need to navigate past the L-shaped house that sits in the center of the field. Be sure to come prepared with a supply of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to combat the drowsiness and hallucinations that may affect Skif upon entering. Keep moving forward until you spot a small, distinctive blue flower nestled in the ground.

Once you've secured the Weird Flower, you'll need to equip it by placing it in the empty slot above the Quick Access section of your inventory. The number of Artifacts you can equip depends on your gear, but as a new player, you'll be limited to one.

The Weird Flower grants a temporary stealth buff, but activating this effect requires you to sleep while wearing the Artifact. Currently, the only known bed Skif can use is located in the side room at the Lesser Zone, where the Trader resides. Sleeping in this bed not only activates the Weird Flower's effect but also advances the in-game time, potentially shifting your wake-up time from morning to night.

While the Weird Flower offers a unique stealth advantage, its utility is somewhat limited by the scarcity of sleeping spots in the game. Personally, I found the stealth benefit less appealing than a more direct combat approach, leading me to sell the Weird Flower to a trader.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is now available on Xbox and PC, offering players a chance to delve into its mysterious and dangerous world.
