Stalker 2: Rookie Village's 'Joke' Quest Decoded

by Charlotte Feb 21,2025

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl features numerous engaging NPC interactions, often leading to small quests. One particularly unique encounter involves Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village. This quest requires helping him deliver a joke to gain acceptance from other stalkers. Players easily miss this interaction if focused solely on main missions. Here's how to find and complete the Joke quest:

Locating and Initiating the Quest

Lyonchyk Sprat's location

Find Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village (Cordon region). Upon arrival at the village center, he'll call out to Skif. He'll initially fail to tell a joke, leading to his request for Skif's assistance in delivering a joke to stalkers around a bonfire. Agreeing begins the quest.

Delivering the Joke

Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb into the attic and wait for his cue. A ladder near the bonfire leads to the attic. Climb up and wait.

Several joke options will be presented; each yields a different audience reaction. However, selecting any option results in a successful joke delivery and quest completion.
