5. Go to Rockwell heart cave or whatever it's called
6. Place bed
7. Find decent lv reaper queen and agro her to acid bellow boss summon terminal
8. Wait until she lose her health to 10%
9. Get her out of the acid (I recommend starting to move her out when she still has life because when I taming reaper she died in acid a few times because she didn't want to come out)
10. Wait until she emmmm
(If you die just respawn in bed placed near boss terminal, it's 'safe' place)
11. (Optional) Kill her and collect pheromone gland
12. Rip and tear until it's done or 5:00 minutes left

Congratulations you become father
If you are PvE player go to aberration and flex that your R-reaper have more colors and looks better
There are rumors that if you forgot about your tame Helena Deus will find you and force you to pay aliments.
UNLESS YOU HAVE A LOT OF OP TAMED TANKS DON'T GO FIGHT A REAPER
Have med brews on you when it impregnates you
These are brilliant they're C attack seems to have a 180 degree AOE and MASSIVE knockback and they can shoot a projectile from the tail which slows things so much a gallimimus would look slow with it! The slowing projectile and the fact they're brilliant prime meat gatherers makes them excellent for helping to tame carnivores!.. only one problem... You have to let a wild reaper queen stab you and lay her egg in your chest then let the baby hatch out onto the floor and feed it using reaper pheromones to stop it eating you alive.
There's a glitch about half way through the baby stage where the baby attacks you regardless of the gland buff this drains it's stamina which will drain it's food to recharge as long as your baby has food in it's inventory it wont starve because of this even if it's food hits zero just feed it like normal and keep a close eye on it
If taming on gen 2, use a carch with super high melee and trap it it with 4 stone foundations and 4 gateways. Kill a lot of stuff with the catch than use HLNA to see how much health it is at then hit it until below 2000 than get the carch away and get your baby!
Why do thorny devil tail spikes take longer than punching it?
Why WHY do they not drop prime they maul me every single time I go to the surface
it takes a little to make the reaper queen preginated by it when you try it be in a little room or the baby reaper will get out and escape
Trap a reaper queen in a trap then shoot it with any weapon (don’t use melee weapons or she will kill you) then she will start glowing red because she want to give you her offspring then she will stab you and transfer it to you and you will be at very low health so you should bring blood packs or med brews. Make sure not to take any radiation damage or the offspring will die. Also BEFORE the baby is born make sure to eat pheromone glands so the baby will think your it’s parent. Then just raise it like any other Dino and then you have a reaper king
When you give birth, DO NOT FORGET TO BUILD A ROOF in your birthing room, they jump stupidly high.
You have to get knocked up by an alien to get a tamable baby alien that bursts out of your chest and kills you without the pheromone buff. Just when SWC seems to run out of new ways to passively tame something they manage to find a new and even more dangerous one. I'm honestly scared about what they'll come up with next.
Don't use admin commands to summon a wild subterranean reaper king. I did on my single player world, and now I have an invincible reaper king with no level count running around the boss terminal. Kill command and even the admin rifle's destroy function do nothing to it, and attempting to forcetame it crashes the game. This may be a problem
I have a ? About encountering tamed reapers. Can the rider be picked by flyers? Also if not what is the best counter to a reaper? Its speed makes it difficult to deal with when it slows dinos like Rex's or a giga as it leaves you very vulnerable during raids. Im sorry for asking here as I know this is more for tips but I havent found answers to this anywhere
If you encounter a reaper queen she will have 45,000 health and if you come across a reaper king they will have much much lower. For both of them make sure you have a light pet and a decent hp Dino and melee. Surface reapers explain their self but their are many and they overwhelm you so be careful. Happy hunting survivors and don’t forget to be adventurous.
The queen can pick you off your drake saddle for impregnation if you get off and get back on
Tame a 150 and transfer it too the island now get a 18 imprinted Rex’s and one yutyrannus now activate alpha broodmother make sure Rex’s have at least 25 k health and about 500 to 700 melee make sure the reaper has 50 k health and 1000 melee now end the oversized spider if you die you didn’t hear this from me. -Spino Samurai
If your plan is to build a huge army of Reaper Kings, build an outpost with a high to max level Queen inside of it with foundations at the bottom, so it cannot bury to escape.
Once the baby is born, you can use either a creature that can carry other creatures or a Maewing so that Pheremone Glands aren’t a problem.
Imprint and continue making your army!
