this thing is not a friend, they are very mean

When you get the reaper to impregnate you, do whatever you can to avoid radiation damage because the radiation will kill the baby reaper.

If your finding low levels and don’t want to kill them. Kite them off a cliff and leave the render distance of said cliff and poof. They despawn and instantly respawn a new reaper. Once you find a good level (120) above for me. Try trapping it on foundations. That way when it impregnates you it won’t bury underground leaving you left to kill it and get max levels on the baby reaper. REC. use magnifying glass to see how low it’s health is. Health for impregnation should be below 2500. Then your ready!

Since Dododex hasn't added the raising times I will.

12 hour pregnancy

7 hour 30 minute baby stage

Total maturation time 3 days 3 hours

Total time with pregnancy 3 days 15 hours

Baby reapers eat 6 stacks of cooked meal per hour.

45 stacks should be enough to account for spoilage until it's out of baby stage.

To feed baby reapers easier make an airlocked pen and get a though full of cooked meat in your inventory 5 minutes before it hatches. Use a pheromone gland 3 minutes before birth and then claim it and stay in it's inventory. Force feed it cooked meat as it bites you since biting you makes it lose food. Then once it kills you it should collect all 60 stacks into it's inventory. Use a gland to make sure and if not feed it until gland wears off and stand on your body so the reaper eats the body.

Good luck!

You need to turn off your lights or it wont impregnate you. That includes your shoulder pets

Does anyone know why my reaper screams every 3 minutes? someone gave it to me for free after my base got attacked by ravagers. Everytime i walk it screams like a queen and each time it gets deeper. Someone comment about it if they know anything about it. Thanks! (By Astro, Please say my name when letting me know 🙂)

Fun facts about reapers!

-Reapers have a very high healthpool and damage,and also have an 80% natural armor. You do not need a saddle to ride them.

-To tame one, you must get pregnant from a reaper queen. It must be below 2000 health before it will grab and impregnate you.

-After you are impregnated, you can kill creature to increase the offspring's level. It caps out at an additional 75 level-ups, no matter the queen's level.

-Once the baby reaper bursts out of your chest, it will try to kill you. However, this can be avoided by eating a pheromone gland, which is obtained from dead reaper queens.

-These reapers aren't meant to be confused with surface reapers. Surface reapers do much more damage and have slightly less hp.

That's all! I hope this was helpful.

Take a high level rock drake to find these things. Bring the health of the reaper queen to BELOW 2000. Then hit the Queen with a pickaxe while on the drake. She will grab you right off of it and impregnate you. Took me about ten minutes of hitting her on a level 200 drake with high health and and a melee damage rate of about 2000. You can check her health level with a magnifying glass while Your drake recharges it’s stamina.

Here’s my way of taming a reaper in Ark survival EVOLVED:

Trap:

This trap is a design by Captain Fatdog, one of the easiest and most reliable ways to catch a Reaper. For a visual guide, search ‘Captain Fatdog Reaper Trap Ark Survival Evolved’ on YouTube — it should be the first result.

Trap Materials:

• 8 × Stone Triangle Foundations

• 8 × Stone Double Doorframes

• 6 × Stone Stairs

• 8 × Stone Triangle Ceilings

• 1–2 Charge Light sources (e.g. Lanterns)

Recommended Gear:

• Multiple Hazard Suits (Reapers shred durability fast)

• Magnifying Glass (to track health — must be ≤2k for impregnation)

• Pump-Action Shotgun (backup safety weapon)

• Light Pet (Nameless control)

• Strong Tame (Rock Drake is best, Spino is a good alternative)

• Riot Shield (to block Reaper attacks)

Process:

1. Use your tame to damage the Reaper Queen below 2k HP (I usually bring it down to ~1k so it doesn’t regen immediately).

2. Once she’s low, turn off Charge Lanterns but keep your light pet active. Position the light pet carefully — far enough to avoid weakening the Queen, but close enough to keep Nameless away.

3. Stand near the Queen with your shield raised until she picks you up. If she plans to impregnate, she’ll roar, sniff you, and then grab. (She can miss sometimes — be patient.)

4. After impregnation, immediately return to your tame and kill her to collect Reaper Pheromone Glands. Swap to a fresh Hazard Suit right after.

Aftercare:

• Build a 1×2 enclosed room (2 walls high + roof) for the birth.

• Eat a Pheromone Gland before the baby spawns.

• Aim for 75 (max) imprint to boost the baby’s level.

• Note: the Reaper’s level = Queen’s level + your imprint bonus.

• Baby will die instantly in radiation zones (during pregnancy), so keep it protected.

Wait to tame them you have to be there mom.

Goodbye childhood

A rhythnio can pick it up. Do what you will with that’s info since it makes it easier to pick up reaper queens.

Here's how reapers work: Whenever they're at low health, they pick you up and shove their tail into you, injecting a symbiote into you. It lives in ur intestines until the time comes when it burrows out of your chest and runs away. Let's face it, it's the most unique way to tame a creature.

you can not reroll stats with the same reaper they will pop the same every time

you can not find colored reapers until one pops, the color of the reaper will repeat from the same reaper but you will not know it pops colors til one pops, queen will look normal.

you can transfer with babies in you

shotgun spinos or reapers on drakes back for extra 75lvls

blackbox self with cooked meat for baby to harvest you when popping in a closed room(this way it cant run anymore and will feed itself almost to full grown on x4 if not full)

to get pregnant build the oldskool larger trap its more efficient on gaining reaper aggro and animations run smoother) and preferably build outside of rads, rads will instakill your baby if you get even a glimpse of rad sickness

use magnifying glass to check reaper hp.

all the tips you really need

Remember after you have been impregnated by the reaper queen (by lowing it’s health it not sure the spike in its back will grow red) taking any radiation poison will kill the reaper king inside of you

Make sure that you have full health or else reaper wont impregnate you it will release in the middle of the process.

You ever want to crush gigas and rule servers ? Take a couple of these bad boys, they only take 10% damage without a light pet and have witnessed them destroying a tribes gigas single handedley. Hands down the ultimate killing machine not to mention the tail attack grounds wyverns

If you attempt to fight a high lvl queen on a megalosaur, the narcotic spikes it shoots can hit and knock your player out while mounted so make sure you have a stacks of stim berries and several sets of hazard gear ready to use.(Spinos and Drakes should protect you from the spikes)

Good for taming animals. You ride a reaperking use its slowing ranged attack to slow the thing you want tamed dismount shoot with tranq remount slow again repeat until knocked out and if the thing you're taming is a meat eater it helps to gather taming food😃💀👍

You can now transfer servers while being pregnant, you can also die witch is good I guess.
