Tips & Strategies
The number 1 threat of abberation. Capable of causing chaos, and causing a lot of damage. This is the reaper king! “What am I here to talk about then, because I Normally talk about bosses.” Well I like to talk about lore, and the reaper king believe it or not has some important lore worth talking about! And also some additional info! So let’s jump in! (Major spoilers)
So what does this monster look like?
It’s arms are long, with large curved claws. It’s legs are armored with exoskeleton plating, and again really large claws on their feet. And two large spikes jutting out the back of its ankle. And another one jutting vertically at the thigh. A long tail with plating running down it’s back as well as spikes running down it’s back. And that leaves the head and I’m gonna wing it cause it’s hard to describe. 8 spikes five on the back of its head jutting backwards, 2 at the back of its bottom jaw. And the final one on is it’s horn.
So where would you find one? It depends what your looking for. For example, reaper queens would be found deep within the red zone in abberation. Reaper kings spawn on the surface and in the red zone (abberation). Corrupted reaper kings (extinction) spawn in the wasteland. And R-reaper kings, and queens spawn in rockwells innards. (Gen 2)
So what are they good for? After the brutal “taming” experience, via trapping a reaper queen, and bullying it until it’s below 10% health. And useing your shield to defend yourself as you approach her, until she finnaly gives you a baby, that’s equivalent to the devil just after birth. (Unless you consume pheromone glands). Apart from that, they are an amazing tame. They have the ability to leap, knock enemies back with their tail. Throw sticky projectiles that slow enemies down. And the resistance and health of a tank. So all the effort you will have to go through will be worth it!
And probably what you have all been waiting for, the lore! :D
Since arks are basically their own thing, they have what might be called the trust and honor system. The arks make sure the survivors are progressing for the greater good, and the survivors get to screw around and eventually ascend, so it’s a win win. Since corruption was simply not compatible with the certain things the arks wanted there’s also a thing called punishment. And trust me… you don’t want that. So how does this correlate to the creature at hand? Abberation has a punishment system equivalent to “you have lost your living privileges” and reaper kings suit this task perfectly. So why do they spawn in the red zone? Since Rockwell fell into the boss terminal, in the red zone. The arks probably kept unleashing reaper kings in the hopes they might finnaly punish him. So basically this overpowered beast is abberation punishment.
Thx for reading! :D
More Reaper Taming & KO Tips
Just trap it in stone, get its health below 2000 using the charge lights and any weapon, (ascendant sniper works great) and once it’s below 2000, turn of lights, go close to it, it should grab you, (may take a while) and bam, your pregnant! Get as much Xp as possible, not using a mount, and make sure your in a small room when the baby comes out. They eat a TON. If I get 50 ups, I’ll make a giga tip. Thanks for reading!
If you want your very own Reaper King, Here's what you'll need to do:
-Hunt down a Reaper Queen and get it's heath to below 2000. The easiest way to do his is a trap. When the Queen begins to grow red, it means she's willing to transfer a symbiote to you. Aproach her, and a cutscene will play. After the cutscene has ended, you'll have an Offspring Buff with a countdown timer.
- You now have until the countdown ends to gather as much co as possible. The amount if co you gain determines what level your Reaper King will be.
-Make sure to stock up on Pheromone Glands! You'll need them to truck the baby into thinking you're its mother. If you don't have any, it will attack you.
-Once the baby is born, is will run around, VERY quickly. It won't stop until it kills something. I would suggest building a small room (2×2 maybe?) and to have something for the reaper o kill. Make sure to consume the Pheromone Gland before the baby is born.
-Stock up on food. Reapers eat A LOT
To obtain a reaper king you must first find a reaper queen which you must then lower their health to almost dead after you have done this you will have to tank its hits for a while whilst you wait for it to impregnate you once it does this it will bury back underground leaving you at severely low health, at this point you should return to your base where you should have reaper pheramone glands which are obtained by killing reapers however whilst you wait you can gain experience by killing things which will increase the level of your reaper king after it burst, after the 12 hour long wait from first being impregnated is over you should consume a pheramone gland which will alow you to imprint to the baby after it has burst out of you withought killing you, after you have imprinted on it you just raise it much like any other meat eater feeding it raw meat until it matures however if you would like to aquire multiples of these creature you will have to repeat the process ovee again.
DONT
TAKE
RADIATION
DAMAGE
(It is a 100% effective abortion)
When raising no need to get a lot of glands for baby. Just farm like 2500 meat before birth
Take off all your stuff from inventory
Put on one gland and keep the 2500 meat on you
After birth feed the baby reaper until glands run out
Eat 10 meat to lower your Health and let baby reaper kill you
It takes all the meat from your inventory after killing you
So it now has 2500 meat when it only supposed to hold 5
That should more than take it to juvenile where you no longer need glands
Up too make raising easy for others. Good luck guys.
Here is a tip from a guy who tamed tons of these guys. 😁
(Also known as me)
1: go to the Rockwell boss fight terminal deep in his innards in gen 2
2: Find a reaper queen, and lure it to the acid pit below his heart
3: bathe the reaper in the acid until below 2000 hp. It will glow pink now
4: Lure it out of the acid bath and let it grab you and give you the baby
5: kill a reaper in the acid pit and grab the pheromone gland
6: go kill a few spinos for Xp for the reaper. Get as many as 75 lv’s
7: wait the amount of time left, then at five to ten minutes, build a tent
8: go in the tent and eat the pheromone gland, then give birth
9: The reaper cannot get out of the tent, so you can imprint on it
10: cryo the reaper. That will instantly take it out of it’s baby form
11: feed it, then wait for your op tame to grow up
12: party over your newly claimed reaper
I hoped this helped you have a very great tame, and please up so more can see 😁👍
1) Find a OP asf reaper (150)
2) do a huge cage with FUNDATION UNDER
3) bait her in
4) low health her under 2k hp
5) when she glow red/Pink go with shield until gets imprint
6) because ils have fundation under she cant burrow so ALL your friends can gets one with the SAME queen
7) go Kill everything until +75 lvl
8) get naked with much meat as you can in inventory
9) stand in the middle of a 2x2 Room when he gets out claim the baby he have a shhitty turning radius you can do it without feromons
10) let him kill you he will eat your body and have all the meat you had
11) if your not sure if he had enought just take all meat you can and repeat
11) all your friend should do a 2x2 cage (one room per person)
In order to get a reaper king, you must find a queen, found in Halls of the Reaper Queen, then you must hit it
via Rock Drake or ballista turrets until it has a reddish pinkish glow, then walk up to it with good armor and a couple shields, it will then sniff you and grab you with it's tail, when it is done grabbing you, you will be severely injured, you have 5 hours to grind xp for the queen, kill other queens for pheremone glands, and when the time comes, on the last ten seconds, eat a pheromone gland and have a cryo on you in a pen, claim it, and cryo it, when deployed, it will act normal. Now you raise it, and bam, you have a reaper.
getting a reaper:
1) find reaper queen in purple radiation area
2) get her to about 2k hp or less, she will start to have a glow effect
3) walk up to the queen with a shield, stand right under her
4) she will impregnate you, and burrow under ground. u will be at low hp.
Gestation:
-You have 12 hrs to gain as much exp as you can, capping out at 75 lvls.
-Each lvll requires 700exp to be gained via killing other creatures.
- Cap out baby by killing dinos (spinos give a lot of exp)
Birth:
1) Baby is aggressive to everything in baby phase. Use pheromone glands dropped from killing wild reaper queens to calm the baby and prevent it from attacking you. ( each lasts 5 min). Baby phase lasts about 8 hours
2) make sure to give birth in a separate room so baby reaper doesn’t run away. baby eats meat. light hurts baby.
3) if you feed your baby without pheromone glands it will bite you. Every bite lowers its food by 500 (feeding w/o glands not recommended)
4) Juvi+ is normal breed.
If u cyro it as a baby. It behaves like any other baby
