Northeast of the Zalissya base in Stalker 2‘s Lesser Zone, you can find a point of interest called Deaf Meadow. Once you get close enough, you’ll see the dangerous Gravitational Anomalies taking shape. So, it’s time to bust out your anomaly Detector and use your Bolts to find the hidden Artifact lying about.

Artifacts can increase the player’s chances of survival in STALKER 2, and these are some of the best options in the game.
Deaf Meadow Artifact in Stalker 2
Like the other Artifacts in Stalker 2, you must use the Detector and follow its beeps until the artifact pops up. The location of the Artifact and the Artifact itself will differ from player to player, so our location won’t be the same as yours. Just walk around the meadow until the detector beeps the hardest, and wait until the pick-up button shows up on the screen to grab the item.
Another annoying part about collecting Artifacts in Stalker 2 is that the anomalies will cause major damage if you get too close to them. This is what the Bolts are for, though.
You can toss one into the field, and the anomaly will disappear for a few seconds, letting you quickly search for the Artifact until the anomaly returns. It can be tricky, so maybe come prepared with some healing items.
The Artifact that we found at Deaf Meadow is the Stone Heart Artifact. It’s not the best one out there, as it is common, and all it does is let you carry a couple more items in your pack in exchange for light Radiation damage.
Of course, like the other Artifacts in Stalker 2, it’s not a good idea to equip them unless you have something else equipped that helps with Radiation. Otherwise, you’ll just keep taking damage out on the field.
