Unveiling the Enigmatic Blooms: Decoding the Role of the Stalker 2 Flower

Author : Charlotte Jan 22,2025

In Stalker 2, the anomalous Poppy Field holds a unique Artifact: the Weird Flower. This guide details its location and use.

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. Stock up on Non-Stop Energy Drinks to survive the journey. Look for a small, blue flower on the ground.

Equip the Weird Flower in your Artifact slot (above the Quick Access section). The number of Artifacts you can equip depends on your gear; early-game players usually have only one slot.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A bed is available in a side room at the Trader's location in the Lesser Zone. Sleeping advances time, so a morning nap might wake you at night.

The Weird Flower's limited utility (due to scarce sleeping spots) makes it somewhat underwhelming. Many players may find it more practical to sell it to a trader.

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