As a seasoned explorer of the Exclusion Zone, I can confidently say that the quest for the religious icon in “The Poppy Field” was an exhilarating adventure! The field’s insidious Stamina drain kept me on my toes, and I found myself constantly reaching for Energy Drinks like a thirsty traveler in the Sahara.


In the game Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl, “The Poppy Field” is one of the initial optional missions you can embark upon.

In this mission, you’re tasked with finding a man named Mityay at the Zalissya Tavern. Listen carefully to what he has to say, as he’ll instruct you to retrieve an object from The Poppy Field. This item holds significance for him, reminding him of his past before the chaos surrounding the Exclusion Zone began. However, keep in mind that there’s a lot more to this mission than simply fetching the object…

In this walkthrough, we’ll show you step-by-step instructions on finishing “The Poppy Field” mission in Stalker 2 and all potential outcomes associated with the quest.

As a fervent admirer, he’d share tales of a revered figure his mother often spoke of. This artifact holds significant value for him, so much so that he’s prepared to compensate with an abundance of Coupons. The catch? You must journey to The Poppy Field to retrieve it! He’ll also hint that the religious icon is concealed within a root cellar, hidden somewhere within the field.

Once you’ve taken on the task, head towards The Poppy Field, which lies northwest of Zalissya Bar.

As you reach the designated spot, expect a message from an individual named Pomor. He’ll invite you for a chat at one of the eastern shacks near The Poppy Field. While this action is not mandatory, it’s strongly advised to take the opportunity to speak with him.

Pomor is seeking the same religious artifact as Mityay and proposes trading a weapon for it. Since he can’t find his underground storage on his own, he asks you to do it instead. If you require additional details from him, you can either provide him with Coupons or fulfill another task for him. However, since you’re already reading this guide, the information he has isn’t necessary for you!

Finding the Root Cellar

To get to the underground cellar, make your way towards the heart of The Poppy Field (indicated on the map provided). However, be aware that you’ll deplete your energy as you traverse the field, so it’s crucial not to linger. If necessary, consume any Energy Drinks you have on hand to regain vitality and prolong your journey.

As you advance towards the designated point in the open space, make sure to look closely at the ground. That’s where you’ll find the access to the underground cellar, which appears as a hole. Once you spot it, go ahead and descend into it quickly, since being there will deplete your Stamina.

Immediately after descending into the underground space, look for the religious artifact on the left shelf. Grab it before exiting the cellar. Upon leaving, be sure to move swiftly away from The Poppy Field to ensure your survival!

Now, you have two choices on what to do with the religious icon. They are as follows:

Hand over the Religious Artifact back to Mityay at Zalissya Bar, and he’ll shower you with gratitude. In return, you’ll receive approximately 1,000 Coupons from him.

Trade the Religious Artifact at The Poppy Field with Pomor and he will provide you with the AR416 of the Unknown Stalker, a rare and distinctive weapon that includes pre-installed modifications. However, the weapon appears to be quite battered, so it’s advisable to have it serviced by a Technician before putting it to use.

In this case, there’s no definitive best or worst option, so choose the one that seems most intriguing to you. Both decisions will lead to the resolution of “The Poppy Field” mission in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
