In Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, engaging with NPCs often unlocks small, rewarding quests. One such gem is found in Rookie Village with Lyonchyk Sprat. This quirky encounter involves helping Lyonchyk deliver a joke, aiming to win him acceptance into a group of fellow stalkers. Easily missed if you're focused solely on main missions, this quest adds a touch of unexpected humor to the game.
Here's how to find and complete Lyonchyk Sprat's joke quest in Rookie Village:
Completing the Joke Quest

Find Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village (Cordon region). He'll call out to Skif near the village center, initiating a conversation where he initially fails to tell a joke. He'll then ask for your help in delivering a joke to a group of stalkers around a bonfire, hoping to gain their friendship. Agreeing to help starts the quest.
Helping Lyonchyk Tell a Joke
Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb into the attic of a nearby house (you'll see a ladder next to the bonfire). Wait there. You'll be presented with several joke options; the choice doesn't affect the outcome. Simply selecting any option results in a successful joke delivery and quest completion.
Receiving Your Reward

After the interaction, descend from the attic. Lyonchyk will be waiting, thanking you and rewarding you with 900 coupons. Note: If you don't choose a joke option and let Lyonchyk try alone, he'll fail, run off crying, and the quest will be considered failed.
