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 Joke Quest
Locate Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village within the Cordon region. Upon reaching the village center, you'll hear him call out. He'll initially fail to tell a joke, then ask for your help in delivering one to a group of stalkers around a bonfire to gain their friendship. Agreeing initiates the quest.
Completing the Joke Quest
Lyonchyk instructs you to climb into a nearby house's attic and wait for his signal. A ladder is visible next to the bonfire. Once in the attic, you'll be presented with several joke options. Selecting any option results in a successful joke delivery and quest completion.
Receiving Your Reward
After the interaction, descend from the attic and speak with Lyonchyk. He'll reward you with 900 coupons for your assistance. Note: If you don't choose a joke option and let Lyonchyk attempt it alone, he'll fail, run off, and the quest will be considered incomplete.
