The Hypercube artifact in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is classified as Legendary grade and is one of the rarest items in the game. These can be found near thermal anomalies throughout The Zone. Equipping these artifacts grants powerful effects like Thermal Protection and Bleeding Resistance. However, they also emit radiation and can be dangerous if you keep them equipped for a long time.
A detector is needed to find these legendary artifacts. The higher the grade of your detector, the better it is at locating areas where these are hidden.

You can spot the anomalies around the Garbage and Lesser Zone regions. They appear as small bursts of flames on the ground. While looking for artifacts in the two places, be on the lookout for Burners.
School Stadium (Pripyat)
Head northeast of Sunny Kindergarten in Pripyat to find the School Stadium. Use your detector around the area to find thermal anomalies and locate some Hypercube artifacts.
School Stadium (Duga)
Southwest of the Kindergarten in Duga, you’ll find the School Stadium. Pull up your detector and scout the area for thermal anomalies to find artifacts.
Conflagration
Conflagration is just east of the Fairy Tale Pioneer Camp. You will need to equip your best heat-resistant gear when exploring this area.
Detention Center
Make your way south of the Boiler Plane in the Garbage region to find the Detention Center. There are thermal anomalies in the building’s basement. However, you must progress through the story and get the key to unlock the room.
Brain Scorcher
You can reach Brain Scorcher by heading north of the Malachite Base. There are multiple thermal anomalies here. Make sure to equip your best heat-resistant equipment.
Burning Fire Depot
Head west of the Cooling Towers to reach the Burning Fire Depot. This place is burning a lot because of thermal anomalies.
Boiler
Head northwest of Dredger in Zaton to find Boiler. The area has a lot of small craters that form a maze-like pattern.
Cave Network
You can find the Cave Network to the southwest of Claw in the Zaton region. Make sure to be well-equipped before entering the cave, as it’s a bit cramped, and there won’t be enough space to move around.
The Brood
Just southwest of the Poisonous Hole in the Garbage region, you’ll find The Brood. You can find a lot of thermal anomalies here. It’s a decent place for farming artifacts.
Fire Whirl
Fire Whirl is located just northeast of the Cooling Towers. It’s shaped like a cone and contains a swirling flame inside.
Helicopter Base
Make your way south of Krug Antenna Complex in the Burnt Forest region to reach the Helicopter Base. Be careful when walking around, as the area is filled with thermal and acid anomalies.
Magnetic Cave
Just west of Ribs in the Lesser Zone region, you can find the Magnetic Cave. Head inside and use your detector to find thermal anomalies for Hypercube artifacts.
Yantar Production Complex
Make your way east of the Scientist Bunker to reach the Yantar Production Complex. Make your way to the middle of the pool in the area and pull up your detector. You might find a Hypercube artifact there. Take note that the artifact that spawns in the pool is randomized.
Hell
It’s a street located just outside the Cooling Towers. If you’re heading to the Fire Whirl, you might as well check this place out.
Ahrophrom Factory
Head northeast of the Ahrophrom Research Institute in the Chemical Plant region to find the Ahrophrom Factory. The thermal anomalies are mostly located on the rooftops. Grab yourself a ladder and head to the rooftops with your detector.
Witch’s Circle
Head southwest of Yaniv in the Red Forest Zone to get to the Witch’s Circle. You might also find a Thunderberry artifact in the location which is another legendary artifact.
Circus
To the southeast of Snork Cave in the Zaton region, you can find the Circus. Be careful! There are anomalies who can explode in this area.
Bog Poppers
Just to the southwest of Klyvyny Waypoint, you can find Bog Poppers. Use your detector to find artifacts in the area.
Shopping Mall
Make your way to Pripyat’s Shopping Mall. Head to the staircase just outside the building to access the second floor. Use a detector to locate artifacts near thermal anomalies.
Be careful when encountering these entities as they emit a glow similar to flashbangs, which can be disorienting. Avoid staring at them while looking for artifacts nearby.
Burning Rift
Some distance from Conflagration, you will find the Burning Rift. Make sure to have your detector ready while walking around. A Hypercube artifact might spawn near thermal anomalies in this area.
Burnt Farmstead
Make your way southwest of the Circus to find the Burnt Farmstead. The area is not that big, so you can walk around the area with your detector to find thermal anomalies for Hypercube Artifacts in STALKER 2.
Fishing Hamlet
From the Burnt Farmstead, walk some steps southwest to find the Fishing Hamlet. Inside is a flash-bang anomaly that can strain your eyes if you stare at it unprepared. Keep moving with the detector in hand and avoid looking directly at it.
