In *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*, engaging with NPCs can lead to unique and memorable quests. One such interaction happens in the Rookie Village with Lyonchyk Sprat. This encounter involves helping him deliver a joke to a group of stalkers, aiming to win their friendship and inclusion in their circle. Players eager to explore the game's depth should not miss this charming side quest.

How to Complete the Joke Quest from Lyonchyk Sprat in the Rookie Village

Players can find Lyonchyk Sprat in the Rookie Village, nestled in the Cordon region of *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*. Upon reaching the village center, you'll hear Lyonchyk call out to Skif. He'll attempt, and fail, to tell a joke, which leads to his request for help. Lyonchyk needs assistance in delivering a joke to a group of stalkers gathered around a bonfire, hoping this will help him befriend them and join their circle. Agree to his plea, and the quest to help Lyonchyk Sprat deliver a joke will begin.

Help Lyonchyk Sprat Tell a Joke

Upon agreeing to help, Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb up to the attic of a nearby house and wait for his signal. Turn around from where Lyonchyk stands, and you'll see a ladder leading to the attic right beside the bonfire. Ascend the ladder and position yourself on the attic to advance the quest.

Here, players are presented with various joke options. Each choice elicits a different reaction from the audience, but rest assured, any selection you make will result in Lyonchyk successfully delivering the joke, marking the quest as completed.

Receiving Reward from Lyonchyk

Once the joke is delivered, descend the ladder and return to Lyonchyk Sprat, who will be waiting in 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, should you choose not to select any dialogue option and leave Lyonchyk to deliver the joke on his own, the quest will fail. In this case, Lyonchyk will flee from the group at the bonfire, and you'll find him crying beside a house, blaming Skif for abandoning him during his time of need.
