Locate the Weird Flower in the northern part of the Poppy Field, beyond the central L-shaped structure. Be warned: the field's effects induce drowsiness and hallucinations. Carry plenty of Non-Stop Energy Drinks to mitigate these effects. The Artifact is 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 in the game, it's typically limited to one.

The Weird Flower provides a temporary stealth boost, but only after sleeping while equipped. A bed is available in a side room at the Lesser Zone Trader's location. Sleeping advances time, so be mindful of the time of day.

The Weird Flower's limited use and scarcity of sleeping locations may render it less valuable to some players. Its practical application is situational.

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