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, he'll call out to Skif. He'll attempt a joke, failing miserably, and then ask for your help in delivering a better one to a group of stalkers by the bonfire 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
After the interaction, descend and speak with Lyonchyk. He'll express gratitude for your assistance and reward you with 900 coupons. Note: If you don't select a joke option and let Lyonchyk try alone, he'll fail, run off crying, and the quest will be considered incomplete.
