Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl features numerous engaging NPC interactions, often leading to small quests. One particularly unique encounter involves Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village. This guide details how to find and complete his "Joke" quest, easily missed by players focused solely on main missions.
Finding and Starting the Joke Quest
Locate Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village (Cordon region). Upon reaching the village center, you'll hear him call out to Skif. His initial attempt at joke-telling will fail, leading him to ask for your assistance in delivering a joke to a group of stalkers by the bonfire, hoping to gain their friendship. Agreeing 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. Regardless of your choice, Lyonchyk will successfully deliver the joke, completing the quest.
Receiving Your Reward (or Facing Lyonchyk's Disappointment)
After the interaction, descend and speak to Lyonchyk. He'll express gratitude for your help and reward you with 900 coupons. However, if you don't select a joke option and let Lyonchyk attempt it alone, he'll fail, run off crying, and blame Skif, resulting in a failed quest.
