What are tips for reaper? Tips and strategies for reaper in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
So fun fact: reapers spawn in the lunar biome on genesis 1 I learned this the hard way, please help
Eat a gland a minute before birth (inside a 1x1 hut), cryo it and when you throw it back out it is no longer aggressive.
If you dont have a sheild or ur scared to dismount I recommend using a crab. you can easily dismount and hop back on quickly to get her attention and you can also hit her with a tool on the crabs back to get her attention(I had problems getting her to focus on me)
To tame it lower it's health to at least 3000 health or lower but make a trap with foundations so if you want a army of reapers the reaper won't bury under the ground because of the foundation
Get 4 stone gates and you don't have to necessarily trap it, just stop it from going at you, let it occasionally hit you and get it below 2k health with a Rock Drake AND USE A LIGHT PET and maginfying glass to check health. Once below 2k let it have a few swings, dismount, turn light pet off and hold up a metal shield and keep the Rock Drake close by, should impregnate, then get the f out outta there. It's alot easier then it looks.
I was on aberration looking for a good rock drake egg and it came out of nowhere and killed me. I found it again and it was a high lvl 1 so I tried to get impregnated but the thing 1 shot me.
They are scary and hurt a lot so don't get attached
A surefire way of aborting your hard work is to be killed by the devs imperfect mesh defense.
Sometimes any cause of death can abort it, especially if you linger for longer than a minute or two before respawning
If you use a fabricated shotgun it will work perfectly just by using a shotgun so just trap it keep shooting it with the shotgun and then you’re pregnant 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙂
Try to use a strong Dino like a rock drake or she will kill you
If you go to gen 2, go to Rockwell’s innards and go to the boss terminal spot with the giant beating heart. From there if u look down there will be a pool of acid surrounding the terminal area. Then look for an R reaper queen and then when you find one lead it into the acid. Shouldn’t be very hard to find. Constantly fly above it in the acid to keep it from burying to often, the acid rises and falls btw. Keep baiting until it’s below 2000 and gets a red glow, u can check it’s health with hlna don’t bully her she’s rly useful. Then quickly get the queen out of the acid because at below 2000 it can die very quickly. Then doge its attacks until the magic happens. It’s a good idea to have a small birth box nearby. Yay u have your own reaper. I’ve done this 6 times on pvp.
To tame one of these let’s say it isn’t fun
First you have to find a reaper queen of your choice then you lower its health below 2k and then it will glow pink and go to it then it will go sniffy sniffy sniff then stab you with its tail them you have a baby reaper in you
Then you gather a lots xp then get in a room with it and meet in your inventory then let it kill the you have a reaper king
Top 3 tips with encountering the Reaper Queen.
-if you want a reaper, you need to venture into the depths of aberration. Then, you need to lower the reaper queens health down to 2000. Once you do that, she will glow red, Go near her and you will be impregnated, then, you have a certain amount of time to gather until the reaper king BURSTS out of your chest. Then, make sure it has something to kill, and make sure you have LOTS of food, so you must be aware of that. Those are my tips, hope you have a nice time getting one of the beasts!
if you kill a baby giga while you are pregnant you will get the same amount of xp like kiling a lvl 300 giga.
You have to be online during the gestation
Up for people playing on official
Use a stone trap with 3 gates and 1 behemoth gate, put foundations below as a base so the reaper queen can’t bury underground after it impregnated you so you can get your whole tribe tamed. For lowering the reaper below 2000, get your tribemate to use a bulbdog, and run towards the reaper with a magnifying glass every once in a while. To actually lower it, use a rock drake, or something that can tank damage and dish it out good. After being impregnated, run around and kill things, spinosaurus’s are extra good for some odd reason. You may also want to kill some reaper queens before to not get the baby to kill you. Get in an enclosed space and then wait… GOOD LUCK ON RAISING THE CHILD! Think it takes after it’s mother don’t you think. ;)
Reaper Queens will shoot spike from there tail at you while the King's will shoot toxic slime balls at you incase someone doesn't know. :)
