How To Complete Poppy Fields in Stalker 2

Once you enter the mission area, an NPC named Pomor will reach out to you over the radio and tell you to check in with him. He has the location of the Religious Icon and will offer it up, but not for free. Players have the option to give Pomor 2,000 Coupons to get the location or complete a small job for him to get the location.

However, you are free to look for it yourself. Once you know the location (which we’re about to give you), it’s fairly easy to find without having to get it from Pomor. Essentially, you’re looking for an entrance to a cellar. This is a man-made hole in the ground with a ladder descending into a small room. The Religious Icon is located on a shelf down below.

The entrance to the cellar can be found on the northwestern side of the Poppy Fields in the location pictured above. The easiest way to find it is to head to the house and walk forward in a straight line away from it until you come to a clearing among the Poppy.

Should You Give the Religious Icon to Pomor or Mityay?

Once you have the Religious Icon, the map will be marked with Pomor and Mityay’s locations. Depending on which character you decide to give the Religious Icon to, you’ll receive the following rewards:

• Give the Religious Icon to Pomor – Receive the Unknown Stalker’s AR416.
• Give the Religious Icon to Mityay – Receive 1,000 Coupons.

While the prospect of a new Assault Rifle with greater stats than most you’ll find in the early game is exciting, it has a massive catch. The weapon is in the “broken” state when given to you. Broken weapons must be repaired by a technician before use, and the price to do so for the Unknown Stalker’s AR416 is very steep and more than you can ever sell the weapon for. Ultimately, you’re better off heading back to Zalissya and giving the Religious Item to Mityay for the credits.

And that’s how to complete the Poppy Fields in Stalker 2.
