Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl features many engaging NPC interactions, often leading to small quests. One such unique encounter is with Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village. His quest involves delivering a joke to other stalkers, potentially gaining him acceptance within their group. This interaction is 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 initiate contact upon your arrival at the village center, initially failing to tell a joke himself. He'll then ask for your help in delivering a joke to the stalkers around the bonfire to make friends. Accepting begins the quest.
Delivering the Joke
Lyonchyk instructs you to climb to the attic and wait for his signal. A ladder is beside the bonfire. Climb up and wait.
You'll be presented with several joke options. Any choice results in a successful joke delivery and quest completion.
Receiving Your Reward
After the interaction, return to Lyonchyk. He'll express gratitude and reward you with 900 coupons. Failure to choose a joke option will lead to Lyonchyk's unsuccessful attempt, him running away, and the quest failing.
