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. He'll attempt a joke, failing miserably, and then ask for your help. Agreeing initiates the quest to help him deliver a joke to a group of stalkers around a bonfire, hopefully earning him acceptance.
Completing the Joke Quest
Lyonchyk instructs you to climb into the attic of a nearby house (a ladder is visible next to the bonfire). Wait there. You'll be given several joke options; choosing any will result in a successful joke delivery and quest completion.
Receiving Your Reward (or Facing Lyonchyk's Disappointment)
After the joke, descend and speak to Lyonchyk. He'll thank you and reward you with 900 coupons. However, if you don't choose a joke option and let Lyonchyk try alone, he'll fail, run off crying, and blame you for his misfortune. The quest will be considered failed.
