Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a reaper? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a reaper.
Trap a reaper queen in a trap then shoot it with any weapon (don’t use melee weapons or she will kill you) then she will start glowing red because she want to give you her offspring then she will stab you and transfer it to you and you will be at very low health so you should bring blood packs or med brews. Make sure not to take any radiation damage or the offspring will die. Also BEFORE the baby is born make sure to eat pheromone glands so the baby will think your it’s parent. Then just raise it like any other Dino and then you have a reaper king
Make a trap and use a Carno leveled in health to bleed it out before shotgunning it. When below 2k health throw away your light pet and bring out a shield to block its attacks. When it sniffs u put the shield down otherwise it will fail to impregnate you
There are corrupted reapers on extinction. But as they are corrupted form, they cant be tamed.
PRO tip if you can get under the queen she can't hit you
If you put a floor under a reaper it can’t burrow after you got a king so you can farm it
If you breed gigas for stats and colors, save the babies you aren’t going to keep. Pet a lystro and if you shot gun 1-3 baby gigas while pregnant it’s your +75
When you give birth, DO NOT FORGET TO BUILD A ROOF in your birthing room, they jump stupidly high.
Surface Reaper Kings are immune to ForceTame for some reason. It dosent work for me on Xbox series s atleast. try it yourself!
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 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙂
The quickest way to get impregnated is once it is glowing red, and then roars, it would most likely sniff you then do the cutscene to get impregnated. Hope this helps, good luck.
Everybody says, “Get it under 2000.” But what weapons may you ask?
Here’s a list of the weapons I tested, best to worst order. It’s also my opinion, sorry if it’s not your piece of cake.
1. Ascendant pump shotgun (Don’t do too many shots.)
2. Fabricated Sniper rifle (Headshots.)
3. Assault rifle (Its lower since the ammo drains quickly.)
4. Shotgun (Pretty good.)
5. Tek railgun (Very long reload time, it can regen a bit of health.)
Obtaining a reaper
Find a reaper queen, R - reapers are found in Rockwell’s innards, but be careful of the summoners and the weird goo in Genesis 2. I use Captain Fatdog’s trap. Get it’s health below 2000, use a sheild to go near to get impregnated, this is an optional part but you can kill the reaper queen for the level of your child. The pheromone glands will come in handy of which she drops.
Stuff you will need :
Central lantern or a light pet
Metal, etc. shield
Ranged or melee weapon
Medical brews
Hazmat suit (Abberation)
Good luck and stay surviving!

The number 1 threat of abberation. Capable of causing chaos, and causing a lot of damage. This is the reaper king! “What am I here to talk about then, because I Normally talk about bosses.” Well I like to talk about lore, and the reaper king believe it or not has some important lore worth talking about! And also some additional info! So let’s jump in! (Major spoilers)
So what does this monster look like?
It’s arms are long, with large curved claws. It’s legs are armored with exoskeleton plating, and again really large claws on their feet. And two large spikes jutting out the back of its ankle. And another one jutting vertically at the thigh. A long tail with plating running down it’s back as well as spikes running down it’s back. And that leaves the head and I’m gonna wing it cause it’s hard to describe. 8 spikes five on the back of its head jutting backwards, 2 at the back of its bottom jaw. And the final one on is it’s horn.
So where would you find one? It depends what your looking for. For example, reaper queens would be found deep within the red zone in abberation. Reaper kings spawn on the surface and in the red zone (abberation). Corrupted reaper kings (extinction) spawn in the wasteland. And R-reaper kings, and queens spawn in rockwells innards. (Gen 2)
So what are they good for? After the brutal “taming” experience, via trapping a reaper queen, and bullying it until it’s below 10% health. And useing your shield to defend yourself as you approach her, until she finnaly gives you a baby, that’s equivalent to the devil just after birth. (Unless you consume pheromone glands). Apart from that, they are an amazing tame. They have the ability to leap, knock enemies back with their tail. Throw sticky projectiles that slow enemies down. And the resistance and health of a tank. So all the effort you will have to go through will be worth it!
And probably what you have all been waiting for, the lore! :D
Since arks are basically their own thing, they have what might be called the trust and honor system. The arks make sure the survivors are progressing for the greater good, and the survivors get to screw around and eventually ascend, so it’s a win win. Since corruption was simply not compatible with the certain things the arks wanted there’s also a thing called punishment. And trust me… you don’t want that. So how does this correlate to the creature at hand? Abberation has a punishment system equivalent to “you have lost your living privileges” and reaper kings suit this task perfectly. So why do they spawn in the red zone? Since Rockwell fell into the boss terminal, in the red zone. The arks probably kept unleashing reaper kings in the hopes they might finnaly punish him. So basically this overpowered beast is abberation punishment.
Thx for reading! :D
All you need is a rock drake with decent health and melee such as a 145 and up. Upon finding the queen you want to impregnate you, use your drake to get the queen below 2000 health. To check the queens health use a magnifying glass. Once it is below 2000 it will be able to pick you off your drake to impregnate you. You don’t even have to jump off. To increase the chance you can go to first person while on your drake and hit the reaper queen with your magnifying glass so it can target you. Then it will sniff and pick you up to impregnate you. While fighting the queen use a light but as soon as it gets below 2000 turn the light off. The reaper cannot impregnate you while the light it on. It is that easy and people can make it too complicated
You have to get knocked up by an alien to get a tamable baby alien that bursts out of your chest and kills you without the pheromone buff. Just when SWC seems to run out of new ways to passively tame something they manage to find a new and even more dangerous one. I'm honestly scared about what they'll come up with next.
On Gen 2 you can go to the Rockwell zone (also where you initiate the final mission) and lead an r-reaper queen (which should be easy to find inside of that area) to the acid area under the heart, keep track of its health and when it’s ready lead it out and get pregnant escape the Rockwell zone and kill creatures to increase xp on reaper (max 75) when the baby is ready the birth have a 1x1 stone hut to keep the baby contained, happy reaper taming. Hope this helped!
So let me get this straight, you have to first get the thing with like 10,000 hit points below 2,000 hit points. Then you have to let it pound you into the ground while you wait for it to impregnate you by stinging you! Then you have to murder everything you can see. Then you have to give birth and get eaten by the child bigger than you!
This is not right.
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. ;)
