Where to find the Weird Pot artifact in Stalker 2?

To find the Weird Pot, head to the Burnt Forest region. Then, travel to the southwest corner of the map until you find the marker for the Mist Anomaly. Look for a wooden house shrouded in dense fog within the Mist Anomalous Zone.

This area will alter its layout whenever you move through the mist, creating a shifting labyrinth around you. The only way to get out is by going into the house and finding the Artifact.

Before going into the anomaly, make sure you are prepared with enough ammo, medical supplies, and other tools. Once inside, you’ll find a decrepit wooden house with its entrances blocked and a sealed-off underground tunnel. Save your progress before proceeding, as you will need to fight the bloodsucker here.

Begin by examining the house. The two main doors are obstructed by cupboards, and the underground staircase is blocked. Walk into the surrounding mist. When you reappear, you’ll find yourself on the opposite side of the house, with its layout having changed slightly. Repeat this process until you find the open door.

After walking through the fog multiple times, a doorway leading to the underground tunnel will become accessible. Descend into the cavern and navigate through it to locate a key. Continue through the tunnel until you exit through another part of the house. Inside the house, find a door secured with a padlock.

Shoot the padlock to break it open and go outside, unlock the previously locked door to step outside the house.

Break the glass on the windows to locate a boarded-up ceiling visible through the windows outside. Use a weapon to break the ceiling boards and boxes below them. Then, enter through the door you just unlocked using the key.

When you enter, you will find an entrance to the attic. To reach it, go outside and walk around the fog to spawn climbable stacks of boxes underneath it. Climb up to the attic using stacked boxes and cupboards. Make your way through the attic until you find a way to drop down into a previously inaccessible room.

In this locked room, you’ll find the Weird Pot artifact in a furnace. Collect the artifact, along with any additional loot available in the area. With the Weird Pot acquired, go back through the underground tunnel to exit the anomaly.
