After you arrive at Zalissya in Stalker 2, you will find Mityay sitting at Hamster's (trader) store. The location is marked on the map. If you interact with him, he will tell you about a job that involves going to the Poppy Field.

The main objective is to go to the location and find a root cellar that has Mityay's family heirloom.

Notably, the Poppy Field is around 600 meters from Zalissya. The area can be detrimental if you don't follow certain procedures.

If you get hit by flower petals or stay long on the open field, it will make you drowsy and eventually knock you out. Avoid getting hit and carry plenty of energy drinks to stay awake.

Follow the blue objective marker to reach the lush red Poppy Field. However, just as you arrive near it, a person named Pormor will ask you to meet him via radio chat. Follow the objective marker to reach his location inside a hut.

Upon talking to him and telling your intentions, Pormor will reveal that he knows the root cellar's location. However, you must pay him 2000 Coupons or do a job for him first.

If you're short on Coupons or simply don't want to spend them, doing the job can be a good choice. All you have to do is locate and loot four dead bodies on the Poppy Field. Pormor will provide you with the locations of the dead bodies on the map.

Follow the objective markers and loot the bodies. Two of the corpses are found inside the huts.

When done looting, return to Pormor, give him the items, and he will tell you the location of the root cellar. He will also present you with an offer to give him the heirloom in exchange for a special weapon.
