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

In *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*, the Rookie Village offers a unique interaction with an NPC named Lyonchyk Sprat, which can easily be overlooked if players are solely focused on main missions. This encounter involves helping Lyonchyk deliver a joke to other stalkers, aiming to win their friendship and inclusion in their circle. Here’s a detailed guide on how to find and complete the Joke quest in the Rookie Village.

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

To begin, players need to locate Lyonchyk Sprat in the Rookie Village, situated in the Cordon region. Upon reaching the center of the village, Lyonchyk will call out to Skif and attempt to deliver a joke, which he botches. This leads to his request for assistance in delivering a joke to a group of stalkers around the bonfire, hoping to forge friendships. Accepting his request initiates the quest to help Lyonchyk Sprat deliver his joke successfully.

Help Lyonchyk Sprat Tell a Joke

After starting the quest, Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb up to the attic of a nearby house. A ladder right beside the bonfire leads to this location. Once in the attic, players must wait for Lyonchyk's signal to proceed. Here, you'll be presented with various joke options, each eliciting a different response from the audience. Regardless of the chosen dialogue, Lyonchyk will successfully deliver the joke, and the quest will be marked as completed.

Receiving Reward from Lyonchyk

Following the joke delivery, descend from the attic and meet Lyonchyk at his original spot. He will express his gratitude for your assistance in joining the stalker circle and reward you with 900 coupons. However, should you fail to select any prompt, allowing Lyonchyk to attempt the joke alone, the quest will fail. In this scenario, Lyonchyk will flee from the group and be found crying beside a house, lamenting Skif's lack of support.
