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 easily missed interaction is detailed below.
Finding and Completing Lyonchyk Sprat's Joke Quest in Rookie Village
Lyonchyk Sprat resides in Rookie Village, Cordon region. Upon reaching the village center, you'll hear him call out. He'll initially attempt (and fail) to tell Skif a joke.
He'll then ask for your help in delivering a joke to stalkers around a bonfire to make friends. Accepting initiates the quest.
Assisting Lyonchyk Sprat's Joke Delivery
Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb into the attic and await his cue. A ladder beside the bonfire leads to the attic. Climb up and wait.
You'll be given several joke options; each elicits a different response. However, selecting any option results in a successful joke delivery and quest completion.
Receiving Lyonchyk's Reward
After the interaction, return to Lyonchyk, who remains in his original spot. He'll thank you and reward you with 900 coupons.
Failure occurs if you don't choose a prompt and let Lyonchyk deliver the joke alone. He'll flee, crying and blaming Skif.
