Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a reaper? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a reaper.
If you have a great rock drake BRING IT!!! You can lure a reaper out of the red zone into the blue zone and beat the crap out of it with two imprinted and mate boosted rock drakes with relative ease. Once the reaper is low on health and is glowing pink, quickly jump off your drake after he uses a tail spin attack and then jump back on to your drake. The reaper with think you are off of your tame and begin the impregnatoon process. She will grab you off your drake after a few hits and impregnate you. Ive done this many times
Bring shields and radiation suits, if you become irradiated you lose the baby. Trap the queen in a makeshift paddock using Dino gates, (1x3/4) no floor, and take her health down below 3K. Use a magnifying glass to see, yes you will have to get close. Stand back far enough to become impregnated through the paddock, if you stand too close the imprecation process will show but you won’t have your baby. Hope this helps!
Watch out!!!If this thing grows in you it deals a lot of damage
The best design for trapping a reaper Queen is to make the trap on foundations that way once it impregnates you it will try to bury itself underground but can't due to the foundations. This will allow you to be able to find 1 high level and let you and your tribemates get impregnated faster, easier and more efficiently
When the reaper about to be born be sure to be in an enclosed space as they move very quickly once they are borm
If anyone is wondering how low of health you have to get them it is below 2000 or at least that’s what I would suggest. To check get on your mount and use a magnifying glass.
The Reaper King must be raised from a baby by having your character get impregnated by the Reaper Queen. You must damage the Queen close to death then tank it's hits until it uses its special impregnate attack.
To tame you need to allow a Reaper Queen to pick you up and impregnate you. Once it has had its way with you, an icon will appear in the bottom right of your screen with a timer and a small exp bar. You need to kill enemies (or maybe craft items, I haven't tested yet) to gain exp and level the dino inside of you. From what I have seen so far they all start at level 1, so when the exp bar says, for example, +44 it means that it will tame out at level 45. When the timer runs out it will burst from your chest Alien style. It will then try and run so make sure you are in a room or enclosed area. You also need to kill Reaper Queens and Kings to get pheromone glands. These need to be eaten to trick the baby into thinking you're a Reaper. You can then claim the baby and it eats raw meat. All I can say is, good luck...
In order to tame a Reaper, you must find, fight, and be impregnated by the queen. This occurs with a special attack from the Queen. Within 12 in-game hours, the baby will burst out of your chest. You can collect an item called Reaper Pheromones from the bodies of Reapers, and use them to imprint on the baby. If not, you'll die as soon as it bursts out.
First you need to lead a reaper queen into a trap (place foundations on the floor if you’re planning on getting multiple). Once it is in the trap close the gate so it can’t escape. Then start hitting it with a rock drake or something that can survive the radiation zone. You should have your glow pet on so you can deal extra damage. Once the reaper starts bleeding heavily, turn off your glowpet and wait 10 seconds before attacking again. Once you’ve hit a few more times it will have a pink aura around it, this means it’s ready to impregnate. Move your rock drake somewhere out of the reapers attack range. Once you’ve moved your drake you need to get close to the reaper avoiding its tail swipe. After 1 or 2 tail swipes you need to stand in front of it and it will go on all fours and pick you up in its tail and impregnate you. Once you’re impregnated turn your glowpet back on (to keep nameless away) and go to a birthing room. The reaper wont bury if you used foundations.
You can us a ballista to lower health to 2000 or less turn off your light she will then have a pink glow. You can go behind it and wait for the queen to turn around. She will then smell you and grab you after that she will bury. You will then be able to get exp. This exp will go to the kings levels after you get as many as you can wait for it to come out use reaper glands so it won’t kill you. Now just feed it and wait for it to grow up.
If you are in a toxic zone with the baby in your stomach and you don’t have a hazard suit the baby will die
have sex with a massive monster that can kill you at any moment
While getting a king the queen can grab you off of mounts so a sheild is not needed and your tame can tank her hits but you do need to hit her with something like a crossbow to get her to agro to you not the tame
Place at least ten stone dino gates in a circle around a mini gun turret ontop of a stone or better material foundation.it has to have at least 200 bullets in it . Lead a reaper queen jump into the circle of gates znd fire away (important) if you have damage numbers turned on the turret should be doing 215 per bullet if not then your not keeping the reaper queen under charge light so use a charge bet with high emission range or shine a charge lantern at her. Ps she will also be glowing yellow when she is affected by charge.
I use a turret to drain hp also trap reaper queen on foundations so you can get multiple babies
Meteors that fall from the volcano on Genesis will kill your Reaper baby if it kills you... Learned that first hand.
It is so hard😭😭😭😭 is the time taker
IF you have the GENESIS DLC the best way to get a reaper is go to the halls of the reaper queen bring a skiff pick up the reaper queen and get the pink glow to happen then drop it and let it impregnate you an badda bing badda boom you have a reaper to get get pheromone glands pick up a reaper queen and kill it take the pheromone glands and boom there you go!
Do not die in any way after you get pregnant
