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

When it's a baby put as much meat on your body as possible and let it kill u when it harvests your body it will take all the meat out of your body. 😁

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.

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.

So I will make this as simple as I possibly can so if you want one of these bad boys for one of your maps and you play single player then go to gen 2 now go to the Rockwell infected part of the map and then go to rockwells in are to find the cave area it’s in the middle part of the infected area so you go in to the boss terminal and look for a reaper queen they are bigger than the kings and have different tails so once you have found one bring it into the acid pool under the boss terminal the acid goes away and comes back every 2 minutes I think so then scan the queen with hlna and watch until it gets to 2k health then you have to lead it out of the acid pool and then it will do a sniff animation and then pick you up you will be at one health after it impregnates you so be careful leaving rockwells innards and then when the time comes make a box so the baby reaper can’t escape after you give birth if you want it to be a baby reaper immediately then cryopod it if you have one and want too welp there you go sorry it was so long ;)

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 😁👍

Full guide of getting a reaper king: Get a high level reaper queen, trap her with four dino gates and just use a rifle and lantern hit it to 20% health, it should grab you with its tail and boom! You’re pregnant! Kill as much as possible to gain XP and when timer is almost up get into a 2x2 box and wait for the baby to burst out of your chest. They eat A TON so ready a hundred meat and feed it and you have your own reaper! Hope this is useful for u guys.

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.

Since i cant find this anywhere. Reapers take reduced damage naturally so its a good soaker. Dont bring light pets near theese because they take more damage and deal less damage.The reaper burns when light is near it. Nameless will attack it tho. Sorry for bad english.
