S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a sequel that carries the legacy of the previous games and goes a notch higher than what an open-world survival game can offer. It was developed in extremes, as it is a work of art and a shield of GSC Game World. You’ll encounter an artifact called the Weird Flower, located in the Poppy Field northwest of Zelissya, the first major settlement. Here’s a step-by-step guide to finding it safely:

Steps to Find the Weird Flower Artifact:

Head to the Poppy Field:

From Zelissya, travel northwest to reach the Poppy Field.
Look for a house marked in the middle of the field on your map.

Prepare Before Entering

Equip Energy Drinks in your quick-access slots.

Why? Falling asleep in the poppy field is fatal—you’ll never wake up.

Approach the House

Run directly to the house, ensuring your stamina stays high.
Circle around to the back of the house.

Locate the Artifact

Your detector won’t alert you to the Weird Flower’s presence.
The artifact is in the back corner of the house.
Use the map to pinpoint its exact location and grab it quickly.

Escape the Poppy Field

After collecting the Weird Flower, drink an energy drink to stay awake.
Leave the field immediately. If drowsiness sets in, keep moving until you’re clear of the area.

About the Weird Flower Artifact

A legendary altered item frequently discussed by stalkers around campfires.

Effects

When equipped on your belt during sleep, the flower’s fragrance masks your scent.
The masking effect diminishes over time.

Comparison to Weird Ball

While Weird Ball reduces bullet damage when standing still, the Weird Flower focuses on scent masking.

That’s how to obtain the Weird Flower artifact in the Poppy Field of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Alongside the Weird Ball, the Weird Flower is a valuable early-game item with no negative effects, making it well worth the effort to acquire.
