In Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, a memorable side quest awaits you in the Rookie Village: helping Lyonchyk Sprat win over his fellow stalkers with a joke. This charming encounter is easily missed if you're focused solely on the main storyline.
Finding and Completing Lyonchyk Sprat's Joke Quest
Lyonchyk Sprat resides in the Rookie Village within the Cordon region. Upon entering the village center, you'll hear him call out. He'll initially attempt (and fail) to tell a joke, setting the stage for your involvement. He'll then ask for your assistance in delivering a joke to a group of stalkers gathered around a bonfire, hoping to gain their friendship and acceptance. Agreeing to his request initiates the quest.
Helping Lyonchyk Sprat Tell a Joke
Lyonchyk instructs you to climb into the attic of a nearby house (you'll see a ladder next to the bonfire) and wait for his signal. Once in the attic, you'll be presented with several joke options. Regardless of your choice, Lyonchyk will successfully deliver the joke, completing the quest.
Reward and Alternative Outcome
After the successful joke delivery, return to Lyonchyk. He'll express his gratitude, rewarding you with 900 coupons. However, if you don't choose a joke option and let Lyonchyk deliver it alone, the quest will fail. He'll run off in tears, blaming you for his unsuccessful attempt.
