How to complete the "Poppy Field" task in Stalker 2?

To complete the "Poppy Field" task in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, follow these steps:

Starting the Quest

Find Mityay: Go to the Inn in Zalissya, located in the northwest corner of the village. Speak to Mityay, who is sitting by himself. He will mention a family heirloom—a Religious Icon—that he wants you to retrieve from the Poppy Fields.
Receive Coordinates: Mityay will provide you with the coordinates for where the icon was last seen, which is northwest of Zalissya.

Preparing for the Journey

Stock Up on Energy Drinks: Before heading to the Poppy Fields, make sure to buy at least six Non-Stop Energy Drinks from Warlock at the bar. These drinks are crucial as they will help you counteract the drowsiness caused by the poppies.

Navigating the Poppy Fields

Enter the Poppy Field: Upon arrival, you'll find a field covered in red poppies. Be cautious, as standing among them will gradually cause your character to become drowsy and potentially pass out.
Locate Pomor: Head towards a house on the eastern side of the field where you will find an NPC named Pomor. Speak with him to learn more about the quest and your options for obtaining information about the Religious Icon's location.

Options for Finding the Icon

Choose How to Obtain Location:
- Pay Pomor: You can give him 2,000 Coupons for the location.
- Do a Job for Pomor: Complete a task for him, which involves collecting weapons from fallen stalkers in the field.
- Search Independently: You can also choose to find it yourself without paying or doing a job.
Finding the Religious Icon:
- If you choose to search on your own, look for two abandoned houses across from Pomor's location. Move between these houses and head towards a slope that leads downwards.
- The entrance to a Root Cellar is located between these two houses, marked by a man-made hole in the ground with a ladder leading down.

Completing the Quest

Retrieve the Icon: Once inside the Root Cellar, locate and pick up the Religious Icon resting on a shelf.
Return to Mityay or Pomor:
- If you return it to Mityay, you will receive 1,000 Coupons as a reward.
- If you give it to Pomor, you will receive an Assault Rifle (the Unknown Stalker’s AR416), but note that it comes in a broken state requiring expensive repairs.

By following these steps, you can successfully complete the "Poppy Field" quest while navigating its unique challenges and making strategic choices regarding your rewards.
