In Stalker 2, the Poppy Field holds a unique artifact: the Weird Flower. This guide explains its location and use.
Locating the Weird Flower
Screenshot by The EscapistThe Weird Flower is situated in the northern part of the Poppy Field, beyond the central L-shaped building. Be warned: the field's effects induce drowsiness and hallucinations. Carry plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to mitigate these effects. Look for a small, blue flower on the ground.
Utilizing the Weird Flower

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth bonus, but only after sleeping while wearing it. A bed suitable for this purpose is located in a side room at the Trader's in the Lesser Zone. Sleeping may advance the in-game time.
The Weird Flower's practical value is limited due to the scarcity of sleeping locations. Its stealth benefit may not outweigh other gameplay strategies.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available now on Xbox and PC.
