What are tips for reaper? Tips and strategies for reaper in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I heard that these guys were based off of the Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise, and it definitely makes sense. Get impregnated by a queen, have a horrifying chestburster emerge and try to kill you? Seems pretty familiar!
Kangaroos can put them in the pouch durriny baby stage to restrain them
Spawn on Valguero in aberration bit
Lure a Reaper Queen into a metal trap WITH A COVERED FLOOR SO IT CANNOT ESCAPE AFTERWARDS, that way multiple people can get pregnant from 1 good Queen. These other beach noob comments forget that detail. Using glowpets to weaken her, damage her until she reaches 2k hp, preferably with a Megalo or Reaper, but Drakes work too. Turn the lights off and she'll glow pink, showing she's ready. Now dismount and stay just out of reach until she leans forward, at which point she'll try to pick you up and BAM you're pregnant. There's a Drake trick that works without dismounting, look it up. Use the next 12 hours to trap more Queens, finishing them off with a shotgun to get the most exp for the baby. Once time is up, encumber yourself with meat in a small room and let the baby kill you when it hatches. It'll take all the meat regardless of weight and you won't have to handfeed it at all, pheromones are worthless lmao. Use a crab to pick the baby up and it'll stay there until it hits juvenile.
I tried this and I know it will work, to tame an R-Reaper, I went into rockwells innards with a shadowmane, and weakened the reaper that way, it force dismounted me and started the cutscene, the shadowmane interrupted it cause it wasn’t on passive
When raising you can use a maewing/Maeguana to feed by putting the reaper in the saddle basket. Even if you don’t have astraeos in Asa you may still be able to obtain a Maegauna through trading they make it much easier to raise and will feed offline as long as the maegauna has food
An easy way to feed your reaper is to have 2 full Fridges of cooked meat or more in your inventory and have the baby kill you and bam you don't need to constantly feed it
On Genesis, it's in the Lunar Biome.
Ignore the guy who says you can't give birth on genesis. You can. No problems.
Head over to aquatica Abyss and in the air bubble cave thing, Abyssal reaper queens spawn, no oxy stat which means a level 150 is comparable to a normal reaper level 180, except these also dont drown... and are faster in water, same taming tequnique (however you spell that lol)
THESE THINGS CAN GLITCH TROUGH PILLARS/WALLS IF THERE IS A SPACE 2 FOUNDATIONS WIDE BETWEEN THEM!
12 hour gestation, if you die you won't lose a baby unless in radiation, and you won't reset xp or time. Takes 3 and half days to raise after birth.
Let's not talk how we all tamed it..
To use the same queen multiple times trap it in gates and foundations then keep get impregnated every 10min
The queen will not impregnate you when she is under the Charge effect. Bring her to low health, put all chargelights off, and tank her approximately 1-2 minutes. Works 100%. The level of the queen is important for the Level of the baby. A level 150 queen will give you a level 150 baby. With leveling while the baby is in the stomach, you can get a 225 baby reaper king!
If you put foundations under the reaper it can not burry. This way you can keep farming the same reaper for the best stats because every baby reaper, even if its from the same queen, will have different stats.
Somthing i just learned if u need to go offline while pregnant the pregnancy timer doesn't go count down when you're not on
Trap the reaper queen on foundations - that way it can't burrow after it impregnates you, and can do it again. This way, you can have multiple kings.
