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

In *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*, the game is filled with intriguing NPC encounters that often lead Skif on small quests. One such unique interaction occurs in the Rookie Village with Lyonchyk Sprat, who needs help to deliver a joke to his fellow stalkers. This quest not only adds a humorous touch to the game but also helps Lyonchyk gain acceptance into the stalker circle, potentially forging new friendships.

Players might overlook this charming interaction if they're solely focused on completing main missions. Here's a detailed guide on how to find and successfully complete the Joke quest in the Rookie Village of *Stalker 2*.

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

To start, locate Lyonchyk Sprat 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 attempts, and fails, to tell a joke.

This leads to Lyonchyk asking for your help to deliver a joke to a group of stalkers gathered around a bonfire, hoping it will help him make friends. Agreeing to his request will kick off the quest to assist Lyonchyk Sprat in delivering his joke.

Help Lyonchyk Sprat Tell a Joke

Once the quest begins, Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb up to the attic and wait for his signal. Turn around from where you're standing, and you'll see 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 be presented with various joke options, each eliciting a different reaction from the audience. Regardless of 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, descend from the attic and find Lyonchyk Sprat 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 select any prompt and let Lyonchyk attempt the joke on his own, the quest will fail. Lyonchyk will then flee from the group at the bonfire and be found crying beside a house, blaming Skif for abandoning him.
