They also contain amazing effects that will make the game a bit easier, so you will be able to survive in the zone without breaking too much sweat. One thing is for sure, these legendary artifacts will not be easy to find, you will have to dabble in a couple of tricks to get them quickly. This guide will list out all legendary artifacts in Stalker and tricks to getting them easily.
List Of All Legendary Artifacts In Stalker 2
Some of the artifacts are easy to get into, but they are always going to be surrounded by anomalies and rough creatures. One of the artifacts is tied to the ending of the game. If you are worried about the spoiler; we have put that specific one right at the end of the article. The rest of the legendary artifacts can be obtained pretty easily.
#1. Hypercube (RNG)
Thermal Protection: Maximum
Radiation: Maximum
Bleeding Resistance: Maximum
Worth: 60,000K
Where To Find: A Legendary artifact found in Thermal Anomalies.
Location: Cement Factory
- Head north of Cement Factory, here you will find a fire anomaly field, where a burst of fire coming out of the ground is just another day.
- There is a high chance you will find the Hypercube artifact here on your first try. You can also try heading to the Boiler location in Zaton to catch the same artifact; if the first location does not work out.
- If both of the locations fail for you, there is a third location, which is in the Circus in Zaton, here you will encounter another fire anomaly field. You can repeat these areas over and over again to raise your chances of nailing the legendary artifact.
#2. Compass (RNG)
Physical Protection: Maximum
Radiation: Maximum
Worth: 60,000
Where To Find: A Legendary artifact found in Gravitational Anomalies.
Location: Claw, Zaton
- Before heading into any area that has gravitational anomalies such as the Claw in the Zaton region, quick save a few hundred meters away from the spot.
- Get inside the area and hope those anomalies finally drop the sweet rare legendary artifact, if that doesn’t happen. Then you can always Quick Load to try out your luck again.
Note: It’s not going to be an easy ride, you will have to try it out multiple times before finding the Legendary one, which means you will have your inventory filled with the common or uncommon artifacts that regularly drop from the gravitational anomalies before nabbing the rare one.
#3. Thunderberry (RNG)
Endurance: Maximum
Radiation: Maximum
Worth: 60,000K
Where to Find: This legendary artifact can be found in Electro Anomalies.
- Head down to the Reloading Point in the Cement Factory Region. You are going to find the location west of the map. The field will be crawling with Electro anomalies, so prepare to throw a lot of bolts around to track it down.
- Another thing you should know, this one will require a bit of patience, the artifact will tend to jump around from one point to another, so pay attention to the meter to track its proper location.
#4. Liquid Rock (RNG)
Radiation Protection: Maximum
Chemical Protection: Maximum
Worth: 60,000K
Where to Find: This legendary artifact can be found in Acid Anomalies.
- The best place to nail the Liquid Rock would be to head down to the Poisonous Hole located northwest of Slag Heap in Garbage.
- Here head to the poisonous field filled with green liquid on the surface, and you will find the Liquid Rock lying on it.
Again it’s going to take some time before you get the legendary one, it will not spawn right away but you can get it with some tricks mentioned later in the article.
#5. Weird Ball
Effect: No bullet damage when standing still
Worth: 14,000K
Where To Find: You will find the artifact in the Bulba Anomalous Area located east of Zelissya in the Lesser Zone.
Location: Bulba, Lesser Zone
- This one can be obtained quickly since it is located in the first region where you start off the game.
- The hardest part about this artifact is getting it, it is located directly underneath the Bulba. This special anomaly will suck out everything around it and then go back to its ideal state for a few seconds.
- The best way to move forward here is to stay on your feet when Bulba is being puffed up and move when it’s not expanding.
Note: Always crouch and hide behind some surface, so you don’t sucked down by the void in the middle. If it does suck you down, that’s a game over, reload from the last save to continue the same process.
#6. Weird Nut
Effect: Wounds take longer to heal but allow for rapid blood coagulation.
Worth: 80,000K
Location: Cooling Towers
Where to Find: Get to the Cooling Towers, and head to Fire Whirl northeast of the region. In the area, you will find a giant fire tornado circling in the center. And our job is to get close to the tornado to spot the Weird Nut.
- First, when you make it to the Fire Whirl in Cooling Towers, the next thing you should focus on is climbing up the structure.
- There are some platforming sections and some broken ladders, eventually, you will find yourself facing the tornado’s top.
- The walkway to the tornado will be filled with molten lava fire. But it will cool down after a few seconds, that’s our window to get close to the tornado, and you will spot the Weird Nut on the edge.
Grab it quickly and make your way back to the safe zone.
#7. Weird Water (RNG)
Effect: Lower radiation affect
Worth: 80,000K
Where to Find: The artifact can be found in the Zaton region under Wandering Lights. It can only be obtainable at night. The area is filled with anomalies, which glow at night and make everything pitch dark. It’s not going to be easy, but you will have to scour the area to find the artifact.
The spawn location for the artifact is completely random. Check the area around the map icon, near the walls to get a higher chance of nailing the artifact.
#8. Weird Bolt
Effect: Reduce damage from anomalies
Worth: 80,000K
Location: Yaniv, Torando Anomalous Area
- To find the Weird Bolt, we will have to venture into the area of Yaniv. Here we need to make our way to the Tornado Anomalous area.
- This one might sound dangerous, and in many ways, it is. The only way we can grab the Weird Bolt is to throw ourselves into the eye of the tornado. You heard it right, you will only find the Weird Bolt while inside the Tornado.
#9. Weird Pot
Effect: Helps with thirst and hunger
Worth: 80,000K
Location: Mist, Burnt Forest
Where to Find: We are going to find this one inside a chimney in a rundown house in the middle of Mist.
- Southwest of Burnt Forest, head to an area titled Mist. It is located south of the Helicopter Zone. While it may feel like you are alone here, you are not. The second you get close to the rundown house in the middle surrounded by broken fences, you will hear other creatures around you.
- Kill all the enemies, head down to the basement, and grab a key. Here you will also find a shortcut to the house via a giant hole.
- Once inside the house break the lock off the door and get inside. You will find another door, luckily we have the key to open it. This will open up another room. Look up and you will see a way to the attic of the house.
Break wooden planks on the floor to jump down the room with a fire chimney. You will find the artifact inside of it, next to the bed.
#10. Weird Flower
Effect: The Fragrance will mask your scent
Worth: 14,000K
Where to Find: Poppy Fields, Lesser Zone
Head northwest of Lesser Zone, and you are going to find the flower in the Poppy Fields. You can’t miss the location, as it is filled with pretty reddish flowers. Carry some energy drinks to make sure you don’t fall asleep in the field. The color of the Weird Flower is blue so that it will stick out like a sore thumb compared to the other flowers in the field.
#11. Heart of Chornobyl (Spoiler!)
Effect: Regenerates Health
Where to Find: You will get it by slaying Strelok during the Ward, Spark Kaimanov, or Scar Ending. We have a guide detailing all the information you need to know to execute all four endings of the game.
Helpful Trick For Legendary Artifact Farming
There are some artifacts on this list that are tied to the RNG system, there is a good way around the system.
- The best trick you can do here is to hit Quick Save right before heading into the area with the possibility of the artifact drops. So if you don’t find it, you can always Quick Load to roll the dice again.
- Save scumming does help in finding the artifact faster in that area without heading down to another area to repeat the same cycle. Trying out different areas could be another way to get the Legendary Artifact, but save scumming gets stuff done faster.
It’s more of a patience game, again you will have to Quick Load, in some cases, more than 10 times to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But it is by far the best way to beat the RNG system without trekking through the Zone.
