So if u spawn a r-reaper and a regular reaper queen u can get Impregnated by both and when the timer is done u will have both a r and regular reaper king
Make a trap and use a Carno leveled in health to bleed it out before shotgunning it. When below 2k health throw away your light pet and bring out a shield to block its attacks. When it sniffs u put the shield down otherwise it will fail to impregnate you
If you have one on Gen 2, I highly recommend doing the alpha level velonasaur hunt with these guys. 1 reaper can beat the mission without any help from other dinosaurs or players (much easier if imprinted) and get tons of loot from it. Have fun with your new tek class stuff!
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.
Caution: YOUR OWN LIGHT PETS WILL WEAKEN YOUR OWN REAPER. I was riding my reaper toast, while I had my bulldog Soup on my shoulder and soup was lit up. I didn’t think anything much of the yellow stuff toast was emitting, but long story short fall damage from the reaper jump ability almost killed my reaper. So do not pair light pets with them. Even if they are your own.
Shoot it until it’s under 10% health then it impales u and boom ur pregnant then shoot an ass ton of Dino’s for xp when it is born
Go into a room with with storage bins with an ass ton of meat
Cuz it eats a TON and then once it’s fully grown chuck it at Rockwell
And beat his ass.
I personally recommend using a Giga or Rock Drake if you don’t have a Giga, btw getting a Giga is easier than this I know from personal experience. Firstly, I think that both Aberration and Genesis 2 are equally hard to get one, unpopular opinion, as Aberration has seekers, radiation, nameless, horrible terrain, elemental rivers, and horrible creatures, spore don’t count due to hazmat suit. Genesis 2 has tentacles, summoners, swarms, acid pools, horrible creatures, and annoying terrain/spawns, such As a lack of places to set up good traps and the fact that Reaper Queens only spawn in the farthest section of Rockwell’s Innards. Plus too many summoners. The only reason I would recommend Genesis 2 isn’t that it is easier, but because you can go down there sooner. Btw, I’ve tamed Reapers on both maps. For Genesis 2, use a Giga or Rock Drake, with good melee and health, you can easily lose 20,000 health from a decent reaper so be careful. Also don’t turn on your light pet until you are near a Reaper Queen, unless you want to be constantly attacked by seekers and swarms. And don’t bother with the Rock Drake cloak, creatures will still attack you. I would recommend the tunnel to the boss summoning platform as only tentacles really spawn there. Bring the Reaper Queen there, turn on your light pet, and start killing, be wary of the Reaper’s health. Once low enough there will be a pink aura indicating it wants to mate , either bring a shield or be careful ,also, turn off your light pet. It should grab you but, it can glitch out, just be patient, once impregnated get out of there and kill creatures until you have enough for 75 levels and give birth, make sure the baby doesn’t escape and feed it then bam. For Aberration, wear hazard, if you’re impregnated and take radiation damage, the baby will die. You will want a light pet for this tame to be on, to keep the nameless away, but be careful of seekers. No trap needed, just use a Rock Drake, Gigas arent immune to radiation, then same process as before. Remember to wear hazard armor. There ya go! Thanks. I will do a Giga tip next -TGIB
Haven’t seen anything in Dododex about it but queens do spawn in the Abb Zone on Valguero as of March 12 2021
They WILL one shot you if your on foot. Keep your lantern pets close and your mounts closer.
If you put a floor under a reaper it can’t burrow after you got a king so you can farm it
If you breed gigas for stats and colors, save the babies you aren’t going to keep. Pet a lystro and if you shot gun 1-3 baby gigas while pregnant it’s your +75
Basically I will teach you how to tame a reaper on day 1. Note that it only works in Genesis 2. Spawn near the Rockwell Cave and farm a good amount of wood, straw, fiber and about 80 leather (enough for two beds). Leave at the entrance to the Rockwell Cave a fully enclosed straw structure (I recommend a maximum of 4x foundations) with a door to exit and enter and a bed if your gestation rate is fast or if you are on a server and can't build in caves. Then enter the cave and advance to the fourth room (there is a terminal with a pulsating heart on top). Go to the bridge that connects to the terminal (safe zone, as long as you don't enter the bridge tunnel) and build a foundation with two boxes for your items and a bed. Look for a reaper queen of any level in this room and lure her to the acid lake that is below the terminal. Be careful because the front of the lake is full of worms that disable the tek suit. Go behind the terminal and trap the reaper in the hole of the lake. This lake rises and falls over time, but when it rises it melts the reaper's life. Dodge her ranged attacks and leave her there until she has 2000 life (she will start to release a pink light from her belly). Then lure her through the side opening of the lake and let her impregnate you. Fly away, grab your items. If you manage to leave the cave without dying (optional, the baby is still alive even if you die ), kill all the herbivores (or a diplodocus) that you see in front of you to level up your reaper. When you are close to giving birth, go into the cubicle and lock yourself in, when giving birth, when you are going to adopt, note that the baby will kill everything around him, this includes you. It's safer to let him kill you and come back to get the items from him (he will already be passive). Remember to deactivate the free movement before releasing him around.
PRO tip if you can get under the queen she can't hit you
reapers are on extinction but they are not able to be tamed
