It speeds up the tame if you bring it a cig afterwards

Caution: YOUR OWN LIGHT PETS WILL WEAKEN YOUR OWN REAPER. I was riding my reaper toast, while I had my bulldog Soup on my shoulder and soup was lit up. I didn’t think anything much of the yellow stuff toast was emitting, but long story short fall damage from the reaper jump ability almost killed my reaper. So do not pair light pets with them. Even if they are your own.

If taming on gen 2, use a carch with super high melee and trap it it with 4 stone foundations and 4 gateways. Kill a lot of stuff with the catch than use HLNA to see how much health it is at then hit it until below 2000 than get the carch away and get your baby!

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

Full guide of getting a reaper king: Get a high level reaper queen, trap her with four dino gates and just use a rifle and lantern hit it to 20% health, it should grab you with its tail and boom! You’re pregnant! Kill as much as possible to gain XP and when timer is almost up get into a 2x2 box and wait for the baby to burst out of your chest. They eat A TON so ready a hundred meat and feed it and you have your own reaper! Hope this is useful for u guys.

PRO tip if you can get under the queen she can't hit you

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

Why WHY do they not drop prime they maul me every single time I go to the surface

Why do thorny devil tail spikes take longer than punching it?

it takes a little to make the reaper queen preginated by it when you try it be in a little room or the baby reaper will get out and escape

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

When you give birth, DO NOT FORGET TO BUILD A ROOF in your birthing room, they jump stupidly high.

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.

If you have a strong pyromane it’s the most simple tame ever. I brute forced it no trap and waited after it took me off pyro and bam i had a reaper only thing id suggest is bring mushroom brew for pyro and at least 30 med brews

Find reaper queen. Lower health to below 2000.(reaper queens health) stand near it so that it will grab you(it can take a long time)and bam your pregnant.

If your plan is to build a huge army of Reaper Kings, build an outpost with a high to max level Queen inside of it with foundations at the bottom, so it cannot bury to escape.

Once the baby is born, you can use either a creature that can carry other creatures or a Maewing so that Pheremone Glands aren’t a problem.

Imprint and continue making your army!

Same person who did the easy carcha no trap tame tip

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 queen can pick you off your drake saddle for impregnation if you get off and get back on
