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. This guide details how to find and complete his "Joke" quest.
Finding Lyonchyk and Starting the Quest
Locate Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village (Cordon region). Upon arriving near the village center, he'll call out to Skif. He'll initially fail to tell a joke, then ask for Skif's help in delivering a joke to a group of stalkers around a bonfire to gain their friendship. Accepting begins the quest.
Completing the Joke Delivery
Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb into the attic of a nearby house (a ladder is visible beside the bonfire). Wait there until he calls.
Several joke options will be presented. Selecting any option results in a successful joke delivery and quest completion.
Receiving Your Reward
After the interaction, descend from the attic and speak with Lyonchyk. He'll express gratitude for the assistance and reward Skif with 900 coupons. Failure to choose a joke option will result in Lyonchyk's failed attempt, leaving him upset and Skif without a reward.
