Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl offers numerous 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 other stalkers, potentially gaining him acceptance within their group.
Players might easily miss this interaction if focused solely on main missions. Here's how to find and complete Lyonchyk Sprat's joke quest in Stalker 2's Rookie Village.
Completing Lyonchyk Sprat's Joke Quest in Rookie Village
Find Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village (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 the stalkers around the bonfire to make friends. Agreeing begins the quest.
Helping Lyonchyk Deliver a Joke
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 to proceed.
You'll be presented with several joke options; each yields a different audience reaction. However, selecting any option results in a successful joke delivery and quest completion.
Receiving Your Reward from Lyonchyk
After the interaction, descend and approach Lyonchyk. He'll thank you and reward you with 900 coupons.
Failure to select a joke prompt and letting Lyonchyk attempt it alone will result in quest failure. He'll flee, crying and blaming Skif.
