What are tips for reaper? Tips and strategies for reaper in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
reapers are on extinction but they are not able to be tamed
All you need is a rock drake with decent health and melee such as a 145 and up. Upon finding the queen you want to impregnate you, use your drake to get the queen below 2000 health. To check the queens health use a magnifying glass. Once it is below 2000 it will be able to pick you off your drake to impregnate you. You don’t even have to jump off. To increase the chance you can go to first person while on your drake and hit the reaper queen with your magnifying glass so it can target you. Then it will sniff and pick you up to impregnate you. While fighting the queen use a light but as soon as it gets below 2000 turn the light off. The reaper cannot impregnate you while the light it on. It is that easy and people can make it too complicated
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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

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.
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
