Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl features numerous engaging NPC interactions, often leading to small quests. One particularly unique encounter involves Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village. This quest requires delivering a joke to other stalkers, potentially forging friendships. This interaction is easily missed, so here's a guide to finding and completing it.
Completing Lyonchyk Sprat's Joke Quest in Rookie Village
Lyonchyk Sprat resides in Rookie Village within Stalker 2's 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 assistance in delivering one to the stalkers gathered around the bonfire to gain acceptance. Accepting begins the quest.
Helping Lyonchyk Sprat Deliver a Joke
Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb into the attic and await his cue. A ladder leading to an attic is beside the bonfire. Climb up and wait to proceed.
You'll be given several joke options, each yielding a different 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 express gratitude for the help and reward you with 900 coupons.
Failure occurs if you don't select a prompt and let Lyonchyk deliver the joke alone. He'll flee, crying and blaming Skif.
