Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl features many engaging NPC interactions, often leading to small quests. One such unique encounter is with Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village. This guide details how to find and complete his "Joke" quest.
Finding and Starting the Quest
Locate Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village (Cordon region). Upon reaching the village center, you'll hear him call out to Skif. He'll attempt a joke, failing miserably, and then ask for your help. Agreeing to help him deliver a joke to the stalkers around the bonfire initiates the quest.
Completing the Joke Quest
Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb into the attic and wait for his cue. A ladder beside the bonfire leads to the attic. Climb up and wait.
You'll be presented with several joke options. Choosing any option results in a successful joke delivery and quest completion. The audience's reaction varies depending on the joke selected, but the outcome is always positive.
The Reward (or Lack Thereof)
After the joke, descend from the attic and speak to Lyonchyk. He'll thank you for helping him join the group and reward you with 900 coupons.
However, if you don't choose a joke option and let Lyonchyk deliver it himself, he'll fail, run off crying, and blame Skif, resulting in a failed quest.
