Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl features many engaging NPC interactions, often leading to small quests. One particularly memorable encounter is with Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village. This quest involves helping Lyonchyk deliver a joke to gain acceptance from a group of stalkers. It's easily missed, so here's a guide.
Completing Lyonchyk Sprat's Joke Quest in Rookie Village
Find Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village (Cordon region). He'll call out to Skif near the village center, initiating a conversation where he botches a joke.
He'll then ask for your help delivering a joke to the stalkers by the bonfire to make friends. Accepting begins the quest.
Helping Lyonchyk Deliver a Joke
Lyonchyk instructs Skif to wait in the attic. A ladder next to the bonfire leads to the attic; climb up to proceed.
You'll be presented with several joke options. Any choice leads to a successful joke delivery and quest completion.
Receiving Your Reward
After the interaction, return to Lyonchyk. He'll thank you and reward you with 900 coupons.
Failure occurs if you don't select a joke prompt and let Lyonchyk attempt it alone. He'll run off crying, blaming Skif.
