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 quest involves helping him deliver a joke to gain acceptance from a group of stalkers. Easily missed, this interaction is detailed below.
Completing Lyonchyk Sprat's Joke Quest in Rookie Village
Lyonchyk Sprat is found in Rookie Village (Cordon region). Upon arrival at the village center, he'll call out to Skif, initiating a conversation where he fails to tell a joke.
He'll then ask for help delivering a joke to stalkers around a bonfire to make friends. Accepting begins the quest.
Helping Lyonchyk Deliver the Joke
Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb into an attic and wait. A ladder beside the bonfire leads to the attic. Climb up and wait to continue.
Several joke options are presented; each yields a different audience reaction. Selecting any option results in a successful joke delivery and quest completion.
Receiving the Reward (or Failing Miserably)
After the interaction, approach Lyonchyk, who remains at the original location. He'll thank Skif and reward him with 900 coupons.
Failure occurs if you don't select a joke option, allowing Lyonchyk to deliver it alone. He'll run off crying, blaming Skif for his failure.
