In *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*, the game is filled with diverse NPC interactions, and one of the standout moments occurs in the Rookie Village with Lyonchyk Sprat. This unique encounter involves a small quest where Lyonchyk asks Skif to help him deliver a joke to his fellow stalkers, aiming to join their circle and forge new friendships. Players eager to experience all the game has to offer should not miss this engaging side quest.
How to Complete the Joke Quest from Lyonchyk Sprat in the Rookie Village
To embark on this quest, head to the Rookie Village in the Cordon region of *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*. Upon reaching the center of the village, you'll hear Lyonchyk Sprat calling out to Skif. He'll attempt to share a joke but will fumble the delivery, leading to a request for your help. Lyonchyk wants you to assist him in telling a joke to the stalkers gathered around the bonfire, hoping to be welcomed into their group.
Help Lyonchyk Sprat Tell a Joke
Once you agree to help, Lyonchyk will instruct Skif to climb up to the attic of a nearby house. Turn around from where you're standing, and you'll see a ladder leading to the attic right next to the bonfire. Ascend the ladder and position yourself on the attic to advance the quest.
You'll be presented with various joke options, each eliciting a different reaction from the audience. Regardless of the choice you make, Lyonchyk will successfully deliver the joke, and the quest will be marked as completed.
Receiving Reward from Lyonchyk
After the joke is told, descend from the attic and find Lyonchyk Sprat waiting at the same spot where you first met him. He'll express his gratitude for helping him join the stalker circle and reward Skif with 900 coupons.
However, if you choose not to intervene and let Lyonchyk attempt the joke on his own, the quest will fail. He'll run away from the bonfire group, end up crying beside a house, and blame Skif for abandoning him during his time of need.
