The Weird Flower is nestled in the northern part of the Poppy Field, beyond the central L-shaped structure. Be warned: the field induces drowsiness and hallucinations. Stock up on Non-Stop Energy Drinks to navigate safely. The artifact manifests as a small blue flower.

Equip the Weird Flower in your Artifact slot (above the Quick Access menu). The number of slots available depends on your gear; beginners typically have one.

This Artifact provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while equipped. A suitable bed is located in the side room of the Trader's quarters in the Lesser Zone. Sleeping may advance the in-game time significantly.

The Weird Flower's practicality is limited by the scarcity of sleeping locations. Its stealth benefit may not outweigh its limitations for players preferring direct combat. Selling it to a trader is a viable option.

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