Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a reaper? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a reaper.
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.
Build a trap, trap a queen, slap the queen up until its glowing pink (your light pet has to off or you wont see the glow) sit on a megalo it'll crawl forward, grab you off and boom. Baby aliens.
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
I suggest if your in creative spawn a tamed reaper queen and get it low with tek claws or a weapon or dino then when it's under 2000 unclaim it then hit it every 5 seconds with your fists until it impregnates you also u need to kill a reaper for reaper pheromone glands eat it before the reaper is born then claim it also keep it in a dark room and not out in the open have lots of meat on you becauyse they die pretty fast due to lack of food
Kill the queen then dance hahahahahahhaahhahahahaahahahahahhaha u trash for reading it
If you gotten to the point where you want multiple baby’s from the same reaper, it can only be done 3 times. Along with this, the reaper cannot grab you off your tame so you need to be on foot.
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
You risk losing your baby
Spent the full day looking for a high level
Only to get pregnant and killed with a hour left by a dam level 20 namless
Spawned back
Lost baby
If you see more than one run the other way
Or just die to them
Don’t forcetame this thing. It’ll immediately crash your game(atleast it did that for me) you’ll lose a lot of save progress and it’s just annoying
If your on Gen 2 I recommend that you go to the place below the final mission terminal also you don't have to use the acid the im saying this specific place is cause there are very few if any hostile.
I got this guy early game on genesis 2 by using the acid below Rockwell’s heart to kill it and the help of one to two riot shields
Are they breedable and how good are they
