Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a reaper? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a reaper.
If your on gen 2 the best thing to do if you dont wanna build a pen (although it would be easier and better for multiple people to get reapers) is to go into the heart cave on the corrupt ring side. If you go to the heart room theres an acid pit which can do about 5k a minute or more (haven’t bench marked it). Since you can hover, super sprint and keep away from the reaper queens Simply find a high level reaper queen and lure it over the edge into the pit. Be careful of the tentacles that can goo you and cause you to tumble into the acid pit. All 6 tentacles are only in the front of the pit and don’t change spawns. If you stay in the back their are roots you can lay behind to keep cover from the needle barrage of the queen once she gets to low health ( you can keep track of it by scanning with helena). walk over to the ramp on the right side of the pit ( if your facing the waterfall from the back of the pit). I found to start leading them over when at about 6-4K health. Then lure the queen out of the acid completely so she doesn’t die when she reaches the 2k threshold, use your shield and pray that you get it. I recommend bringing as little as possible, a back up shield or two for good measure, and turn on the life form scanner on your helmet.
On Genesis 2 it is very very easy to get a reaper compared to the normal method. With your tek suit, fly to Rockwells innards and put lots of beds outside (or on unofficial put beds at the boss terminal in inside), and bait a reaper Queen into the acid beneath the boss terminal. Then hover above it while the queen slowly dies, then when it gets to about 8k health begin baiting it to the ramp part. Finally, once its on around 2k health it should be out of the acid, where you should keep running at it until it impregnates you!
R Reaper Queens have randomly assigned colours on their offspring due to a lack of colour regions in its background data. Although queens have no physical alterations, there are hidden region that cause it to be event. So in this case an event R-Reaper King is not possible. P.S. MediumTeal is a natural R Reaper colour and isn’t considered event for R-Reapers
Use a ballistic turrert to do the most damage
On genesis 2 in the Rockwell cave if you go all the way in to the heart area you will find reaper queens and there is green acid under the area where the heart is and it will lower the reaper’s hp for you no trap needed just make sure to get it out of the acid when it starts glowing red
Does it count as passive tame if when you get close to it it literally has an abortion and replaces its fetus with your intestines?
Put it in a box of stone 2x2 or else it will run everywhere and you'll lose it also kill the queen and get levels and that will give it an extra few levels you also get glands before the baby's born eat one of the glands and it will not attack you and you can put the meat or whatever you need to inside the inventory once you claim it
Fill your inventory with metal and raw meat when you give birth this will weigh the reaper down to where it can’t run around anymore and the meat will feed it till it grows
This is a follow up to my previous post the rely long one a about taming a reaper so if you want a good funny video on how to tame one watch phlinger phoo tame one😃
Let us give birth to a baby reaper again it is no fun when you cant
Use rock drake to attack, then take of armour
Use alot of carnos because they have bleed and increased damage to armor
You most likely want to build a trap because you can get impregnated more than once by the same queen
Becarful of radiation damage on Abberation it will initiately kill the baby. Found that out the hard way 😔
The best looking creature on abberation.
If you want to raise it use a 3x3 with two height walls and a cage to trap it in with lots of meat and force feed it till can eat by itself (you’ll have to let it kill you too)
As of 04 22 2022, you can transfer servers while preggers. Just hopped 3 different servers and still good.
Cryo pot it as baby. It Wil not longer be Agro. And you can use a maewing to hatch it.
If your on genesis part 2, you can use the same trap on even ground, i use captain fatdog’s trap and it works if you put a light pet down.
Make sure your hotbar is empty...when a baby reaper is born it will kill you if you do t have pheromone glands. I just lost over 500 element and a top stat giga 😢
