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

By MichaelOct 11,2025

In Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, players encounter various NPCs offering unique side quests. One memorable interaction involves Lyonchyk Sprat in Rookie Village, where Skif is tasked with helping deliver a joke to win over a group of stalkers and gain their friendship.

This brief side quest can be easily overlooked if players focus solely on main missions. Here’s a concise guide to locating and completing the Joke quest in Rookie Village.

Completing the Joke Quest in Rookie Village

Lyonchyk Sprat is found in Rookie Village, within the Cordon region of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Upon reaching the village center, he calls out to Skif and attempts a joke, which falls flat.

He then asks for help delivering a joke to stalkers gathered around a bonfire to earn their acceptance. Agreeing to assist triggers the quest to support Lyonchyk in sharing the joke and joining the group.

Assisting Lyonchyk with the Joke

After accepting the quest, Lyonchyk instructs Skif to climb to a nearby attic and wait for his signal. Turn around to find a ladder next to the bonfire leading to the attic. Climb up and position yourself to proceed.

Players can choose from several joke options, each prompting a unique reaction from the stalkers. Regardless of the choice, Lyonchyk successfully delivers the joke, completing the quest.

Collecting the Reward

After the interaction, descend and return to Lyonchyk at his original spot. He expresses gratitude for helping him join the stalker group and rewards Skif with 900 coupons.

If players fail to select a joke option, leaving Lyonchyk to perform alone, the quest fails. He flees the bonfire, upset, and can be found crying near a house, blaming Skif for abandoning him.
