How do I kill a reaper? reaper battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
A lev 159 spino can't kill a lev 16. Like so others see!
Tip the 12hr gestation period counts down only when online logged off with 10 and half hrs left logged on this morning and it was still at 10 and half hrs. Will confirm
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!
Since i cant find this anywhere. Reapers take reduced damage naturally so its a good soaker. Dont bring light pets near theese because they take more damage and deal less damage.The reaper burns when light is near it. Nameless will attack it tho. Sorry for bad english.
On Genesis, it's in the Lunar Biome.
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
Hope your death is quick and painless
Always have a light when encountering them might save your live
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 🙂)
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.
Haven’t seen anything in Dododex about it but queens do spawn in the Abb Zone on Valguero as of March 12 2021
Wait to tame them you have to be there mom.
Goodbye childhood
UNLESS YOU HAVE A LOT OF OP TAMED TANKS DON'T GO FIGHT A REAPER
Bild a Trap at Lat.: 69 and Long.: 75
reapers are on extinction but they are not able to be tamed
If you happen to find a Reaper Queen in the rad zone, I recommend not going much further or you will find yourself overwhelmed very quickly! It seems once you run over their spawns they spawn more often, so when you’ve fought a few queens and think to yourself “my health is low, I need to leave” there is very likely more queens waiting for you on the way out!
PLANT SPECIES Z IS YOUR FRIEND: heals your mount super fast and provides a charge light just by standing next to it!
They WILL one shot you if your on foot. Keep your lantern pets close and your mounts closer.
Have med brews on you when it impregnates you
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
