In Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, numerous NPCs offer Skif small quests. One particularly memorable encounter is with Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village. This quest involves delivering a joke to help Lyonchyk integrate with other stalkers. Missing this interaction is easy, so here's a guide.
Completing Lyonchyk Sprat's Joke Quest in Rookie Village
Find Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village (Cordon region). He'll call out to Skif near the village center, initiating a conversation where he botches a joke.
He'll then ask Skif to deliver a joke to a group of stalkers by the bonfire to help him make friends. Accepting this request begins the quest.
Delivering the Joke
Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb into the attic and wait for his cue. A ladder next to the bonfire leads to the attic. Climb up and wait.
Several joke options are available; each elicits a different reaction. However, selecting any option results in a successful joke delivery and quest completion.
Receiving Your Reward
After the interaction, descend and speak to Lyonchyk, who remains in his original spot. He'll thank Skif and reward him with 900 coupons.
Failure occurs if you don't choose a joke prompt, leaving Lyonchyk to deliver it alone. He'll flee, crying and blaming Skif.
