To ensure you don't miss this charming interaction, here's a guide on how to find and complete the Joke quest in the Rookie Village of *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*.
How to Complete the Joke Quest from Lyonchyk Sprat in the Rookie Village
You'll find Lyonchyk Sprat in the Rookie Village within the Cordon region. Upon reaching the center of the village, listen for Lyonchyk calling out to Skif. He'll initiate the conversation with a failed attempt at telling a joke, which will lead him to request your assistance in delivering a joke to a group of stalkers sitting around a bonfire. Agreeing to help will kickstart the quest to assist Lyonchyk in his social endeavor.
Help Lyonchyk Sprat Tell a Joke
After agreeing to help, Lyonchyk will instruct Skif to climb to the attic of a nearby house, signaled by a ladder next to the bonfire. Ascend the ladder and position yourself in the attic to advance the quest. At this point, you'll be presented with various joke options. Each choice will elicit a different reaction from the audience, but rest assured, any selection will lead to Lyonchyk successfully delivering his joke, marking the quest as completed.
Receiving Reward from Lyonchyk
Once the joke has been delivered, descend the ladder and approach Lyonchyk Sprat, who will be waiting at the initial meeting spot. He'll express his gratitude for your help in joining the stalker circle and reward you with 900 coupons. However, be mindful that if you fail to select a prompt and leave Lyonchyk to deliver the joke on his own, the quest will fail. In this case, Lyonchyk will run away from the group, end up crying beside a house, and blame Skif for leaving him in the lurch.
