"Stalker 2: Guide to Completing Joke Quest in Rookie Village"

In *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*, the encounters with NPCs offer intriguing side quests that can enrich your gameplay experience. One particularly unique interaction occurs in the Rookie Village with a character named Lyonchyk Sprat. His quest involves helping him deliver a joke to a group of stalkers, aiming to be accepted into their circle and potentially forge new friendships. This charming little side quest can be easily missed if players focus solely on the main missions, so let's dive into how to find and complete the Joke quest in Stalker 2's Rookie Village.

How to Complete the Joke Quest from Lyonchyk Sprat in the Rookie Village

Lyonchyk Sprat can be found in the Rookie Village within the Cordon region of *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*. As you approach the center of the village, Lyonchyk will call out to Skif, initiating a conversation where he struggles to deliver a joke. This amusing interaction quickly shifts to him asking for your help to deliver a joke to the stalkers gathered around the bonfire, hoping to win their camaraderie.

Help Lyonchyk Sprat Tell a Joke

Upon agreeing to assist, the quest begins. Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb up to the attic and wait for his signal. Look behind you to find a ladder leading to the attic of a nearby house, right next to the bonfire. Ascend the ladder and position yourself in the attic to advance the quest.

You'll then be presented with various joke options, each eliciting a different reaction from the audience. No matter which option you choose, Lyonchyk will successfully deliver the joke, and the quest will be marked as completed.

Receiving Reward from Lyonchyk

After the interaction concludes, descend from the attic and return to Lyonchyk Sprat, who will be waiting at the same spot where you first met him. He'll express his gratitude for helping him join the stalker circle and reward Skif with 900 coupons.

However, if you choose not to intervene and let Lyonchyk attempt to deliver the joke on his own, the quest will fail. He will then run away from the bonfire, retreating to cry beside a house and blame Skif for leaving him to fend for himself.
