Stalker 2 Legendary Artifacts Guide

Artifacts in Stalker 2

As you traverse the enigmatic Zone, a realm where peril lurks behind every twisted path, you’ll inevitably overhear whispered tales of peculiar anomalies—phenomena beyond comprehension, steeped in myth. These spoken legends tell of artifacts imbued with prodigious power, forged by the Zone itself in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. To possess such objects is to embrace formidable benefits, yet their potency comes with a cost that few are prepared to bear.

Seek Out These Epochal Relics Amid the Zone’s Terrors

While Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl brims with diverse anomalies, bristling with strange energies and capabilities, only ten legendary artifacts stand as paragons of infamy and utility. Their impact varies: some govern critical story conclusions, while others bestow esoteric boons, like mitigating ballistic harm—if you’re willing to forfeit mobility in return. Every gift of the Zone exacts a toll.

Compass

Effects: Augments physical fortitude but amplifies radiation exposure.
Location: Gravity Anomalies.

Heart of Chornobyl

Effects: Essential to unlocking the Kaimanov ending.
Location: Acquired by defeating Strelok.

Hypercube

Effects: Grants unparalleled bleeding resistance and thermal shielding at the expense of heightened radiation.

Liquid Rock

Riemann SMG: A Must-Have Treasure in Stalker 2’s Deluxe Edition

Weird Bolt

Effects: Nullifies damage from anomalies when fully charged.
Location: Yaniv (Tornado Anomalous Zone).

Weird Flower

Effects: Resting with this flower in your possession suppresses your scent, rendering you elusive to beasts.
Location: Poppy Field.

Weird Nut

Effects: Mitigates blood loss during hemorrhage but prolongs wound recovery.
Location: Cooling Towers (Fire Whirl Anomaly).

Weird Pot

Effects: Suppresses hunger cravings but induces Psi-driven hallucinations.
Location: Burnt Forest (Mist Anomaly).

Weird Water

Effects: Dampens radiation harm and amplifies movement speed; however, fall damage becomes markedly severe.
Location: Zaton (Wandering Light Anomalous Zone).

To unearth these coveted relics, intrepid explorers must interact with anomalies matching the artifact’s domain. For instance, acquiring the Compass demands vigilance in hunting gravitational anomalies scattered throughout the Zone’s desolate expanses.

The Heart of Chornobyl stands apart as the most elusive artifact—a linchpin of destiny. Unlike its kin, it offers neither continuous boons nor adverse side effects during your journey. Instead, its sole purpose is to unlock the Kaimanov path, and it can only be claimed after felling Strelok in the labyrinthine choices of the Ward, Spark, or Kaimanov endings.

For those daring enough to deviate from their path, a brief detour to secure the Zone’s most devastating submachine gun can provide an edge. With this formidable close-range weapon in hand, neutralizing anomalies and the feral creatures guarding them becomes far more manageable.
