Weird Pot is one of the legendary artifacts that players can stumble upon while exploring the far reaches of the Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. While exploring the zone, players may wander into an inescapable Mist Anomalous area. At the center of the anomaly lies the Weird Pot artifact that the players can acquire. It's one of the weirder artifacts in the game as its hallucinogenic side effects may outweigh the hunger and thirst-reducing benefits.

How to Locate the Weird Pot artifact in Stalker 2

Players can get the Weird Pot artifact inside the Mist Anomalous area inside the Burnt Forest region of Stalker 2. It's located on the southwest corner of the map and after reaching the anomalous zone, players will get trapped in an inescapable area surrounded by mist. The only way to escape the Mist anomaly is to find a way into the locked house and acquire the Weird Pot artifact.

Acquiring the Weird Pot and escaping the Mist anomaly is a little tricky. So, here are the exact steps you should take to accomplish this.

Be careful, you might need to defeat a Bloodsucker after entering the Mist Anomaly.

Go Into the Fog to Change Up the House

Entering the Mist Anomaly in Burnt Forest Region Stalker 2

You'll first notice the boarded-up entrance to the underground tunnel and locked doors inside the house. Instead of searching for keys to get into the house, players will have to employ a rather strange method.

Try to leave the area and go into the fog. Depending on which side of the house you entered the fog from, you'll end up on the opposite side of the house. However, the layout of the house will also change slightly, opening up new paths ahead.

Get the Key & Access the House Through the Underground Cavern

Once you go into the fog and change the layout of the house enough times, you'll notice that a doorway will appear at the top of the underground stairs. This indicates that the pathway to the underground caverns has been opened.

Step down the stairway and into the caves below to find the Door Key after going forward a few steps. Now players can move forward into the cave until exiting through the other side and entering the house.

Head Outside the House & Break the Wooden Ceiling

Break the Wooden Boarded up Ceiling Stalker 2

After entering the house, there's a locked door right in front of you and a door with a padlock to your right. Break the padlock to exit the house. Right after exiting the house, look through the windows on the left and you'll spot a boarded-up ceiling.

Use a weapon to break the ceiling completely, until the boxes are destroyed as well. Now, players need to head into the fog to allow the house layout to change.

Climb up the Attic & Drop Into the Main Room to Get Weird Pot

After you break the boarded-up ceiling and go through the fog, enter the house again and go straight ahead and enter the door. You'll see boxes and cupboards placed perfectly to allow you to climb into the attic.

After entering the attic, make your way through it and drop from the other end to enter the locked room with the artifact. Grab the Weird Pot artifact from the furnace and any other helpful stuff you want.

Now you have finally escaped the Mist Anomaly in the Burnt Forest region and got the Weird Pot artifact in Stalker 2.
