What are tips for reaper? Tips and strategies for reaper in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Just do it in gen 2 under the terminal
So the only easiest method for me is too find the reapers in Gen 2 in where rockwells heart is there you can find r-reapers and decent levels I would recommend going there instead of aberration
These guys will be on genesis part 2. I’m scared, as the only charge light source will be the glow bug😭
I got a low lvl one using a strong bary (10 k hp and 300 damage) and i lvld up that reaper and usednthat reaper to get impregnated from a high lvl reaper, i now have a reaper with 50k hp and does over 1100 damage, and is able to take out several reaper kings on the surface. They are really good combat mounts and seem to be relativley fast. Almost nothingnwill aggro on u and they can bunny hop
The +75 levels distributed to a baby Reaper King’s stats are rolled for at birth. This means, if you’re playing solo on PC, you can create a backup of your world right before giving birth and roll back your world as many times as you want to try for better stat distribution.
(This strategy is for if you’re absolutely sick of hunting down good Reaper Queens.)
Disable wondering to make raising easy
Give birth in a 1x1 glass chamber with nothing in you’re inventory but a fridge full of raw meat the reaper will kill you putting all the meat into its inventory so now you don’t need to feed it as a baby
Takes 78.5 hours total to raise, each imprint is 11% except when it goes from 44 to 56% to offest for that 1% that would have been lost
The baby phase is 8 hours long.
The fun way to tame a taper king is to get you friend who doesn’t play Ark to play Ark, just say to him/her “I’m taming a Reaper, imma need your help cause I can’t tame it, it won’t knock out.” Once they get on you will both fire a crap ton of tranq arrows at it until it’s health is very very low, then just say “okay buddy you may have to get a little closer to fire the last few, but it looks pretty close to getting knocked out!” Once your friend gets picked up, dropped, and the reaper is gone, they may get discouraged, you should tell them, “you did it, look!” And once they notice that they are pregnant with an alien bug dinosaur thing, they will probably crap themselves!
And that is how you tame a reaper king, folks! ( it’s also how to have one less friend to play Ark with you😉)
If your character starves to death while having a R reaper not sure about regular it will kill the reaper. Keep this in mind
I found that using 4 gates and a large bear trap traps it.
You can then use a charged lantern to weaken it and then you can attack it. Make sure to turn off the light when it gets low though otherwise it will die.
Use a trap with charge lantern or light pet with a ballista check periodically turn lights off and look for red glow then you are ready
Throw a dodo at it and run before it shoves a chestburster down your throat.
Before you get impregnated kill a reaper queen for glands and not get killed
I suggest not finding one until you're lvl 150 because this thing can kill you really easily if your not to careful. I have encountered one before and it was really hard for me to survive. After a bit a Reaper impregnated me and I made a 2x2 build and I made sure I had the materials I needed in order to tame the baby.
If you put stone foundations on your trap where the queen is standing and the queen doesn’t bury after impregnating you, you can either kill it to max out your offspring xp, or save it for more babies.
Make a 5x4 Stone foundation( or Metal) and place 3 Dino gates around it. Then put a behemoth gate at one end and that will help you trap it.
Can survive 24 hours without food lol
